Great price and room for the weekend. Only 3 dedicated parking spaces out front and if they're taken you have to move your vehicle every 2 hours around the square because of parking restrictions. Stairs and passages are tidy but could do with an update. Overall happy with the establishment.

The walls are like paper, if you are a light sleeper I do not advise staying here, there was a boiler or something mechanical constantly firing up, making a noise every few seconds, then it would shut down briefly, but then start again! I had about 2 hours sleep. I was in room 5, which has a huge gap under the door so I could hear everyone else nearby, not just passing my room but in other rooms, with their bathroom fans switching on, walking around etc. I had a full day in work to do in Edinburgh and wish I'd just driven up from my home that morning, 300 miles away as I would have been less tired. The mirror in the room is weirdly positioned so high it was pointless, I'm 5'3" and had to check my suited appearance in a shop window near my car as I left and do my makeup off a compact mirror I had in my bag. The bathroom one is set so far back from the sink that was no use. Definitely not suitable for a business travel stopover, I had to shut the window too as it was right by a roof so someone could get up there and in to my room, plus there was noise downstairs. I suppose you get what you pay for, cheap but not cheerful. Nice staff at breakfast, breakfast was good.
