The location was perfect for us as we (my daughters and myself) went to the Playhouse to see Moulin Rouge then stayed over in Edinburgh. The room was big enough for a one night stay for 3 adults and breakfast was good.
Nothing, everything was good for a short stay.

Pleasant
good location, room was comfortable and clean
Access to the lift is via stairs - as I have bad knees, this was difficult with my case. Breakfast food was overprocessed, difficult to access (tight space) and the room crowded.
The floorboards from the next room were squeaky and walls thin - I could hear conversations. They weren't being loud, these were normal conversation levels.

Well, the hotel is located at the centre of the city. So for long walks, shopping and eating it’s a great location
Well when we checked in one out of two lifts was not functional. Since we were allotted rooms in the sixth floor and the lift for the 6th floor was not working we had to carry all our luggage and walk upto 6th floor from 5th floor. There was no help forthcoming from the hotel.

Loved the location. Close to city centre, buses and trams. Staff were friendly and helpful. Liked that there was a luggage storage room free of charge. Bedroom clean and homely. Bedreakfast more than adequate. Would use again and recommend.
All positive from me.

The location was amazing. A close walk to the bus station and the tram stop is right out front. Very walkable to tourist locations.
It was unseasonably hot when I was there. I couldn’t open my room window and there was no air conditioning, so my room was stuffy and warm.
