I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a great deal in a great location and does not need luxury or a lot of space. If you are obese or have trouble carrying luggage up stairs, then you probably should not choose this place. We were on the third floor and are in our sixties, so the worst part... More

As other reviewers have pointed out, this is a no-frills hotel. No lift, small en-suite WC/wet room with shower, no bar, and doesn't look very grand from the outside. However, it's warm (shouldn't be an issue in late May, but it's really cold in Edinburgh right now!), the shower works fine, the room itself is a decent size, and the... More

i visited scotland for the first time ever on 13th may and booked into the hotel reception. The staff were most friendly and gave me a map to enjoy the sights eagerly awaited. My room was as i expected of a single room and very clean too. Overall my only concern was that of the bathroom it was smaller than... More

The rooms are very good with clean adequate facilities. It is in good location for city attractions. The choice of foods for breakfast was probably best we had from hotel. Buffet had excellent choice with freshly cooked menu available. The staff were helpful and friendly. Dont be put off by 1st impressions as looks like student accommodation in residential area...

This was our 1st visit to Scotland ever, We spent 3 nights at this hotel over the may bank holiday. We arrived pretty late on the Friday night, but this was not an issue, we had a room on the ground floor which was fab for us, it was clean very well presented coffee/tea making facilities, plenty of plug sockets,...

Location is very nice - in old town, nearby the key museums and the university of Edinburgh. The only bemol were some works on the street that I suppose would only contribute to better comfort of later visitors)). Food and service are good. I had a chance to have a wonderful view on the mountain (from the 4th floor).

Good central position, with nearly all places within walking distance. Rooms were small but spotless and most importently for me quiet, Breakfast was great and all the staff were very pleasant and helpfull, I would definately recommend this hotel/accomadation.

I have spent four days at this hotel. All what you need. A nice, clean room. Close to the main shopping street, a short from the castle. Breakfast is more than expected for the price. A short menu with good stuff. Ideal place for those who would like to visit Edinburgh, but not to spend too much money for overnights.... More

This place is decent and comfortable enough for what it is: ex-student accommodation and one of the few central places likely to be available and affordable during the Festival or the Tattoo. Very handy for venues like The Pleasance. Would happily stay there again and it's over 30 years since I was a student.
