Aside from a gross shower curtain, the place was clean and staff were friendly. The room was pretty spacious, although the bed was a little uncomfortable. Overall, the price was right and the location was great!

Our private bathroom was at the far end of the corridor with no lock on the outside so who knows who used it. Our room was in the basement with a window to a dark alley so no daylight and the room was painted dark purple. Floor boards and stairs very creaky I heard every movement in the night. Front door lock is broken still works but it's not great. Tiles missing from the bathroom. But fab hospitality tray in the room. Would not stay again for such a price as I paid.

Convenient location, cheap price, get what pay for
Check in process not easy as time needs to be arranged and I then arrived 20 mins earlier than expected (takes proprietor about 5-10 mins to arrive from point of contact). Room could do with some updating, felt like student digs with some mould on shower curtain, ikea furniture missing parts, doorhandle not working, crumbs under bed etc. However, £90 per night at short notice when all other options (other than 10 person dorms) were >£300. Location very convenient too.

The manager of the property was really friendly upon checking in, but the condition of the property is poor. The shower is absolutely filthy and rotting with mouldy sealant. Missing floorboards in the bathroom, holes in the shower. The bedroom looked clean but there are cables trailing everywhere, the door can't be locked from the inside, holes are covered with tape, huge gaps under the door. Other residents were quite noisy banging doors and cooking in their room. It's a convenient location but you're better off staying in a hostel if I'm honest. I travelled for work purposes and I wouldn't stay again. I have pictures to prove what I'm saying as well.

Decent place to stay for a night or two. Great price. Great location with bus stops near by and walking distance from the train station. Easy check in and check out. It’s slightly annoying you have to walk through a corridor to get to the toilet/bathroom & the facilities could be cleaner.

Great location for exploring Edinburgh, city centre is easily walkable. Arrived late due to transport issues and host was very accommodating. Room was downstairs so no windows, but was clean and a nice place to stay in. Private bathroom wasn’t en suite which wasn’t an issue, but I feel like this could have been made clearer when booking. Other than that, great price for a very convenient location.

Sadly, 230 nights on hotel.com this is the worst
I stayed here for 2 nights. I am a frequent travelled and a £180 for 2 night. I have never rated a hotel less the 7/10 in 150+ properties I have staying in throughout the UK and Europe. I am a solicitor who travels internationally and like small local hotels. I booked a single garden room which is sadly was not provided. I instead got a basement room with no natural light, garden view, or internal toilet. The below review, is not an exaggerator, change of wording or dishonest in any way. The room was a not a garden room, instead a basement room facing a completely blocked out fire escape window with no natural light. There appeared to be a false wall behind this. I was appalled. The bathroom and shower area, for the room were around 15 feet away at the other end of the hall with a sign that read “we monitor who uses this” - great if it’s kids. The shower head was covered in mould and the on off switch was hanging off the wall. I would state this could be a legionnaires disease risk. The room, had zero natural light, lines (apart from the towels, were at least 30 years old. The bathroom had signs all over switches, which stated “do not touch”, and loose tiles, to hold parts together, and holes were present throughout the bathroom. The shower was loose, falling off the wall. The red carpet covering the house, was filthy. The Kettle provided had rust, and I was unable to sleep due to the loud shouting in the room above of an indian/urdu male swearing and screaming

Not looking to get Leagionnaires disease
do you like mold and high humidity basements with disgusting bathrooms? then, this is the place for you. The Edinburgh City Council should condemn this hotel until it is safe to occupy.
