8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2026
Great location
Accessibility room which was fine apart from the drain in the shower area not flowing well and hence bathroom flooded
7 / 10Good·Sep 2026
No breakfast was available. The location was good as it was on a bus and tram route into the centre of Edinburgh. Room very clean. I would have appreciated a lighter duvet as the nights were warm. The room I stayed in had no window so the atmosphere was a bit claustrophobic but an air-con fan helped with ventilation. I couldn’t use the shower over the bath as there was no rubber mat and I was afraid of slipping as I’m quite old and not as mobile as I once was. However overall good value for money.

Clean and easy walk to main attractions.
Hard to find car parking. Cost a large amount of money to park over a weekend.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2026
Very convenient for station and airport bus. Less than 5 mins train journey to city centre. They kindly looked after our luggage on arrival and the day we left.
This is a very basic hotel, in need if a bit of TLC. If it's just a bed you are after and no thrills then it is fine. We had a very small twin room on first floor..
