Nice stay
Helpful staff, great location, nice service. They charge you for storing your luggage after you check out, which is not very nice because you have to either pay for it or carry your bag with you on your last day. For all the other things, it is recommendable, nice place to stay

It had a great feel and touch to it. Did not expect shower to break and flood so that was disappointing

Great short stay! Clean and friendly
Clean rooms, really friendly staff and great location. I would definitely stay here again. Booked as I was driving to Fife the next day so just wanted one night in Edinburgh and location was fab. I was a bit questionable when I booked it as it was so cheap but can’t fault the place! A bit noisy but to be expected when staying so central
