2/10 Terrible

Really needs a good clean and scruce up. Walls are so thin can hear the whole household. Bathroom fan sounded like a generator. Really not worth the budget price.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely pleasant. The hotel is easy to find and located in a great spot, making it perfect for a comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed, which left a great first impression. The room was clean and well-equipped, making me feel at home right away. The location was also a big plus: everything is nearby, which was very convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Lovely Stay!

Perfect stay in Edinburgh! Easy to check in and out and the hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Great if you need an easily accessible place to stay while touring Edinburgh. Very close to the tram/bus stops and in a quiet neighborhood!
Rebecca Cao, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Well situated for what we needed.

Just a quick overnight before heading home to Canada. Well situated close to Tram so we didn't have to fight through the Royal Highland Show masses to get to the airport.
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Good location with nice bars and restaurants nearby. Walkable to city centre and Leith town centre but also lots of transport options. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean enough but there were areas in the shower that need re-sealing and the shower floor was chipped in one area. Plenty of toilet roll provided though! Room was always lovely and warm which was nice considering how cold it was outside. Bed was also comfy
Kia, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I got a basement room with a tiny window. The bed sheets were dirty with stains the table top had something sticky spilled all over it. The bathroom was decent and clean but had another door opening to the back of the property and that door was a glass door so extremely uncomfortable
Jamshed, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean, comfortable and close enough to walk around Edinburgh and see some of the sites. Couldn’t have picked a better place.
Brooklyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good value for money and great location

Very good value for money here. Beds was very comfortable and had everything you need in your room. Very close to a tram station where you can quickly get the tram into the main town centre in just a couple of stops making it very easy and convenient. The place did need a bit more of a through clean however, on the surface the room clean but it needed a good scrub in the shower especially, some very small mould marks to be wiped off the walls and the floor needed a good clean albeit I am a clean freak at home. Overall, I will return back to this hotel as I believe the value for money, location and comfort topped it.

Room was below street level w a window that faces a brick wall.
Jane, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The location was good for the tram and offered a cheaper alternative to central Edinburgh but the room was quite tired and could do with an upgrade.
