6/10 Good

Great location - fine for a night in Edinburgh
Louise, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The only decent thing about this place was the breakfast and even then the staff were rude and made us feel uncomfortable by not quite being finished at 9:32. The room was dirty with a layer of dust on everything, the shower mouldy and bad smelling pillows. One of the worst places I've ever stayed in the UK and I definitely will not be returning. Skip this place and play it safe and book a chain hotel

Great location.
Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Delighted with my stay! Simple but very quiet & clean single en-suite room (No.3 on 1st floor) overlooking the rear garden. Nice selection of breakfast options, pleasant manager(s) with excellent & speedy communication, parking outside, & the ‘Old Town’ within walking distance. Thanks Duncan & Mei: you’ll be my first choice the next time I visit.

Staff was very nice, helped us get our luggage inside and very friendly welcome. Showed us to our room and showed us how to use locks, and let us know to reach out for any help we needed. Breakfast was amazing.

Alan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

To describe the property and room as basic would be an exaggeration. The only redeeming factor was the breakfast.

Great location and good breakfast. The property would be much better with a deep clean and some new towels and sheets.
Holly, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Too much for too little!

Room was on the 3rd floor with no baggage assistance. Mattress was memory foam topper on a sagging mattress below. Pillows were smelly. Breakfast was average.

Very Poor Conditions

Paid in the region of £135.00 for a very below standard top floor room. Room in very poor condition 2 Metal beds on a very thin foam mattresses carpet needed exchanging facilities provide & bedding of poor quality. Breakfast needs to be earlier for those needing to travel & work 8:30 far to late.
