This location and hotel were perfect for my short stay as a solo traveler. The bathroom was clean, the staff was the absolute best, they had delicious cookies in the room and candy at reception. The women at the reception were knowledgeable, sweet, caring and helpful. I would definitely come back here if I'm in Edinburgh. The location is walkable; you can walk to the closest tram/bus stations and have tons of shopping and dining options you could walk to and make the most out of your time in Edinburgh.

No WiFi on the first day. The room was tiny and the bed was less comfortable than a couch. The staff was nice although not always available and they sometimes chatted loudly in the hallways. The walls are thin and you can hear everyone’s footsteps. Considering the price, I would stay elsewhere.

We stayed in an accessible room as it was the only room available for our dates. The bed was positioned against the wall so making it difficult and inconvenient for the second person. The bathroom was very smelly, constant damp as the extractor fan didn't work and you couldn't open the window that was covered in black mould. Not a good situation for anyone, especially medically vulnerable. The hotel is in a pretty good position for accessing the city if you're happy to walk (we did 11 miles) and there are loads of cafés eateries on Leith Walk.

Parking has been nightmare, i guess i didn't see any reviews on it. Had to park in a multistorey and get a cab over. Not great having a open floir shower. Overall, paid four star prices for a 2 hotel.

I liked the access code system for getting into your room, very good for flexibility. Nice room and very clean. However, I found the staff difficult to contact & the mattress was like a hammock, needs replacing.

Our stay for a night was ok but it's not the worth of money you spend for a night. We could have got more in this budget. Like free parking and breakfast.
