Staff are excellent in customer service. Breakfast is okay. Room needs upgrade- no exhaust, carpet looks older and not neat. The smell of mild dew in the room and hallways. Staff should improve more on it.

It was okay but not good. Needs a complete renovation, but serves a purpose of a bed in a room. Think of it as very, very, budget accomodation and lower your expectations

For the price it was good value, room with a window was spacious and clean, albeit slightly tired looking, but location and price for 2 nights in Edinburgh we had no complaints, receptionist were very friendly and allowed us to check in early which was well received. Breakfast was included in our price and great quality choice of breakfast to cater for our needs, nice hot food and delicious porridge, self serve. Tea coffee and juice with choice of pastries, all self serve. No housekeeping for the 2 night stay which again wasn't a problem as only 2 night stay, if required more milk, coffee or tea you could help yourself by reception to refill your room. Bed was smaller than expected but comfortable and pillows were nice. Great location for main area we had to get a taxi into princes street only because quite steep hill that due to being less mobile atm would find the climb a struggle, being mobile wouldn't be a problem for the average person. So wouldn't recommend for less mobile or wheelchair users unless you have a car. Great price great food for a city break.

We booked this hotel as it was close to the city centre and provided (paid) parking. Our room was very clean but the decor within as well as throughout the hotel is very dated and could do with a freshen up. Breakfast can be added on for £12 per person. It was ok.
