Great friendly service, really comfy beds, great shower , love that you can hook your phone up to the room speakers via Bluetooth and the location is incredible - the only thing I’d say is it’s not one for light sleepers as there’s noise until 3 am at weekends - I’ll be back, I’ll just remember ear plugs!

Spiders in the bathroom, no cleaning service - just towels change, awful breakfast service.

A good place for short stay

Music playing until 1am very very loud , guests running around screaming

We enjoyed our 2 night stay here. They describe themselves as a cross between a boutique hotel and a hostel and that is about right. Our room was clean and very comfortable
2.0
This place is overrated and overpriced for what it offfers. Rooms are ok, large tv, fridge and a/c, however cold air come from the windows. The breakfast was poor and definitely overpriced. The staff was very young, generally friendly and kind but could see lack of professional training. Overall an ok stay but value provided not worth the money.
2.0
Do NOT stay here if you want any sleep or quiet. The bar next door has a late licence, and has extremely loud music on till at least 2am. There is no watning of this, but even if a hotel doesnt want to broadcast that kind of negative aspect, the least they can do is a) improve the sound proof in rooms including sounfproof/light reducing curtain or blind and b) put carpet on staircase which is in use 24/7 (think drunk people at 3am stomping/clattering up uncarpeted stairs just behind the wall where your bed is). Awful night. At least warn guests!!

The “full size” bed was two twin beds pushed together with mattresses that looked older than me and a mattress topper that looked equally old and used so was extremely uncomfortable. The air conditioning didn’t work at all and the windows wouldn’t stay open. The wifi didn’t work in the room nor did cell service which was very frustrating because I wasn’t able to plan the next day of my trip in my room at night. Definitely for a much younger crowd.

Very close to main attractions. Clean and very small room. Good breakfast.
1.0
the room was forgotten to be cleaned on the first day. the room is located in another building which is sharing the same floor with the toilets of bar. unfortunately it smells. because of the customers, it was noisy. highly disappointing experience...
5.0
Quite good , good to stay. All attractions are within walk distance. People are nice .
1.0
No one at the counter for 15 minutes, no bathroon for guests, told we had to unzip our beds to get Twins beds, no linen for two mattresses, towels were stained. After a long day traveling it took 1.5 hours to make the room livable.

Staff were very helpful
5.0
Right next door to The Three Sisters and amidst university student accommodation so felt lively and friendly. My room was at the back so very quiet. Breakfast great with full Scottish option including haggis. All the staff friendly.
4.0
Nice, but did not know that it was in a college area. Music was loud until 3 am.
1.0
This hotel is not for families. The music from the bar below played until one in the morning every night. Its location was hard to get to and you had to walk through the bar to get to your room. There was a large spider in the bunk beds and the bathroom door has no locking fixture so there is no privacy. We would never stay here again nor recommend it.

Walking distance from Weaverly RR

The bad: wifi was almost nonexistent for our four night stay
The good: staff, especially Cleo were really great!
Convenient location, close to the Royal Mile.
2.0
This property is one (baby) step up from a hostel. A/C was nonexistent, flooring was a hazard (especially at night), and it was in a sketchy area.
5.0
Everything was great except the room was very hot.
2.0
My group stayed in the 4 bedroom, we had to deal with mold. The shower tile was disgusting. A little help on. know how the lighting system worked would have been helpful. Cute place though. The music was playing from the bar, but not so bad that we couldn’t fall asleep
2.0
Had a great time, very fun part of town, very friendly staff. Room worked perfectly for what needed, and the late night-music was not bothersome to us. The mold in the bathroom needed attention or we'd have given a higher rating.
5.0
Lovely rooms.
4.0
Similar to other reviews, the location of this accommodation is very central and is well located to a lot of tourist spots and food/drinks. The only thing to consider when booking this accommodation is the noise. Whilst we were staying at time of the international festival, we did find it quite noisy and hard to get a decent night sleep. In saying that the accomodation was nice, very clean and the staff were lovely.
2.0
The hotel is very centrally located and the discounted parking is a great deal. We loved the decor and the general funky ambiance but they provide earplugs for a reason. The club next door was very noisy!
3.0
Hotel was good only complaint was car parking too far away!
5.0
Very nice and peaceful place
5.0
great location. centrally located in Grassmarket neighborhood - you can walk to city centre (10min) and train station (10-15 min). Only complaint is wifi was very spotty in the rooms so had to be in main area to get business level wifi. I liked that the hotel had a main lobby where you can sit, read, work, congregate comfortably. there is also a happening bar next door called Three Sisters if you want to grab a drink ad dance late hours

My daughter, grandson and I had a wonderful time. It was so close and convenient to everything!!
3.0
The staff were kind and helpful.
The location was not what I expected. It was in a run down area and difficult to find. Taxi access was difficult. The breakfast was sub standard.
2.0
It sure is central - right in the old town, walking distance from everything. However the property has issues: moldy bathroom ceiling, noise from the street (included earplugs were a warning), minuscule window, difficult access up stairs when carrying luggage. The pictures online are not an accurate reflection of what we got.
4.0
We loved the layout for our family of four. It was one of the only hotels we could find with enough beds for four people in one room. Two double beds (the standard for Edinburgh hotel rooms) was not going to cut it for four full-size folks. At Stay Central, we each got a bed! The price was right. Some mold on the bathroom ceiling from steam and the shower was clogged and filled up quickly, but otherwise the hotel room was very clean and we felt comfortable. We didn't love the frosted glass door - more privacy would be preferred. And, when a hotel leaves you complementary ear plugs, there's a reason! We laid awake listening to the nightclub beats from 12am - 2am. But all in all, we just needed a bed for a night and this did the trick!
10.0
This property was in a convenient location just minutes from Waverly train station. The windows were triple paned which kept out the noise of a lively beer garden below. Clean and beds were very comfortable.
1.0
If you were expecting a place where you might be able to get a good night sleep, this is not the place to stay. This is ‘party central’ and there is no escape. It was so bad that I just left.
5.0
The hotel & room were great but the location was even better. 10/10 recommend
5.0
Small but well appointed room. Good shower … comfy bed. Helpful friendly receptionist.
2.0
Nothing I like about this property. The bathroom looks worn out. The glass door of the bathroom does not have privacy for a grown up family group. Silly design..
2.0
This is a noisy party hotel which was fine but the fire alarm when off at 1 am with no response from staff. They seemed to know of the problem but were not prepared to deal with it.
3.0
Could hear other rooms
5.0
The waiting time almost two hours to get the room, it wasn’t ready after I had it booked for two weeks. The staff was very helpful, they gave me another room, but the point is why they make me wait that long. I wasn’t to happy.
