One of the worst places. I would give it 0 stars and raise it to the Edinburgh tourism department. And if you don't trust me, please book a refundable room for 1 night and check it out before booking for larger number of days (I stayed for 3 days and today is my first night- I want to cancel and go somewhere else). The pictures are totally misleading. The rooms are clean and neat (only 1 saving grace), but they are old and refurbished - totally unlike the pics. They are highly mismanaged, not a hotel - have weird rules - no visitors around 8.30 pm.. manager smokes outside on steps next to entrance.. given this is a no-smoking hotel (or hostel - college dorm!) .. a house converted into a college dorm hostel masquerading as a hotel. They don't provide hand towel. Only 1 bath towel. Not worth the stay. Asian lady staying next door told me that they didn't change towel for 3 days. Manager is rude. This should be labeled as college dorm type of housing.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could, the initial photos on the website looked decent for a weekend get away. Everything was confirmed I get to the place and I'm immediately greeted with a very unfriendly face, I was told there was no breakfast and I had to share a toilet so already I was disappointed when I opened the room door the decor was vulgar and the room was filthy I was told there would be a flat screen TV but was displayed a 16 by 8 inch TV in the corner of the room the room was so small I could barely move and the smell was awful when I requested a better room as the website was falsely advertised I was aggressively addressed by the man behind the desk whilst (presumably his partner) made snarky little comments under her breath. I have cancelled as I refuse to stay in this dump I wouldn't wish it upon anyone to have to stay here customer service points minus 100.

The room was perfect for our needs. It was quiet and not too far from the city as well as being quite roomy. It was clean and the bathroom had recently been renovated. The bus stop was right outside and it was a great jumping off base. It is as advertised in that you get a room with a shared bath. You get what you pay for and that's fine.

Bed & breakfast, not hotel. No restaurant or bar. Bedroom was very small. However the bed was very comfortable and the room and en suite was clean. If it was called a B & B I'd have given it 3 stars as you'd know what to expect but if you booked thinking it was a hotel (as my work had done) you'll be sorely disappointed. I slept well and the continental breakfast was good. Davie the manager(?) was friendly and helpful at the front-desk and looked after the guests at breakfast time. Ok for 1 night but I couldn't (wouldn't) have stayed longer.

WiFi was rather weak in the room that I was given, and I was unable to get a cell reception. Room itself is rather nice. We got a twin room with shared bathrooms. Facilities are good. Breakfast provided for £3.50. There's a bus stop right outside with a service that arrives every 15 minutes and it takes around 15 minutes to get to the city
