The place needs air conditioning
The staff were cheerful and friendly. Room 211, top floor, was ok but *stifflingly hot* and sleeping was near impossible. To be fair it was during a very hot period in August which I realise may be unusual for Scotland but there was no air conditioning, the window only opened a few centimetres and the fan was all but useless. Altogether it was an expensive and uncomfortable night in a very small room.

2/10 Poor

Misleading Room Information
Double Room information was misleading. The room was so small, there is no place to put my two small suitcases. I have to move some of the room furniture to outside. In order to reach so called Wardrobe, you have to walk through on the bed. Despite my complaint to staff, nothing happened. Room is not 13 sq m at all. You will have only 1sq m to move around, Do not book room 107. Your holiday will be ruin.

Quiet Spot in Edinburgh
Good property outside of madness but 15 minutes walk from Castle/Royal Mile. Not really a hotel a much as a good large restaurant bar with comfortable rooms. Kind of what we were looking for after 10 days of larger hotels with amenities we never used! Only problem we had was lack of AC. It wasn’ even that hotel but got a bit stuffy.
