Good location. Comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet rooms. Had some free pastries and hot drinks by the reception. Downside is the weak flushing of the toilet and water can get too hot in the tap and the hot and cold faucet are separate so you cannot mixed them to control the temperature.

Fabulous location about 1.5 miles from Royal Mile. Older building with a lot of character - very "scottish".

Quirky and good value.
Very enjoyable stay, maybe the decor was a bit tired but this was reflected in the reasonable price. Staff were very attentive and kind and I appreciated reception being manned 24 hours. Very good value.

This property needs a little tender loving care. Serviceable, but needs a lot of work to bring it up to the prices they are charging.

A nice hotel in a building with a lot of character. I liked the retro feel of the bedrooms but can see why other may say it's dated. It does have a lot of stairs and no elevator (as advertised) but this was not an issue for us. Staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The location is good at about 20mins walk to the Scott monument or Grassmarket.

Room 21 at the Top of the Stairs
The good: quiet, comfortable, friendly and close to the tram system. I felt safe and comfortable.
They are not kidding about the stairs! There are a lot of them!

Guests should be warned about the 70 stair climb to your room. Restaurants are located nearby. Have to leave your room key if you leave the property.

We loved the convenience of the location steps from Haymarket train station, yet felt safe and had everything we needed within walking distance. Staff were great. Our room was clean, comfortable and huge, and we felt it was good value for our budget. This is a heritage spot so don’t expect perfection in the details, but we loved the price, location, and clean comfy room.

Smells like a nursing home. Seems to be falling apart a bit. The beds were soft and the staff carried our bags to our room because there is no elevator. Overall a nice stay. Shower curtains need to be changed.. moldy. Great location!

It was perfect for what we needed, which was a clean place to stay and the tram line was very close. The location was a little ways from old town, but it was walkable or we could take the tram to get closer. There were some good restaurants and bars close by.

Lovely older property with Scottish charm
Huge room with all the amenities needed. Great location, easy access to tram downtown and bus connections for everywhere, including the airport. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I'd definitely stay again.
