Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Friendly welcome and an access card arranged in addition to the code access. Clean, warm and comfortable room that feels like it has not long been refurbished. Would stop again.
My partner and I enjoyed our time at this hotel, it was very clean and was greeted by a lovely receptionist during the day. Self-check in is very easy and convenient.
Super clean, friendly staff, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and great shower!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Great location, very convenient for good restaurants and bars, buses and trams. Hotel was basic but suited our needs as we spent most of the time out in Edinburgh. Room dmall but comfortable.
Great location, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Comfort was low because the room had a plastic smell, the shower was built for handicap accessibility so it wasn’t as comfortable, and the bed springs kept jabbing my ribs. Very nice place overall : )

As the premises was undergoing renovation, the area outside is a bit messy.
