Fair
Great location and supportive staff.
Rooms are small and cramped and doesn’t feel like value for money (all you’re paying for is the location). Our room had a leaking AC which wet the entire entryway carpet and was really frustrating to deal with. The staff couldn’t really do much and gave us a drink voucher but rooms need to be double checked before offering them to guests.

Very Poor
Great location
Room was dirty and when we had our room cleaned they didn’t replenish the coffee or tea or even remove the rubbish from our room . We had a cold fried breakfast and the coffee machine was out of order

Everything except the breakfast
Breakfast. Limited selection of offer and quality must also be improved

Pleasant
the location of the hotel was very good. walk distance for the most of the attractions. staff was kind and tried hard to give us a good time during our stay.
the size of the bed for a couple is not good. too narrow!! I had to ask front desk to set the sofa bed and we slept one on the bed and the other on the sofa bed. location was great. breakfast was fair. no fresh fruits.

The location was ideal with only being about 8 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes from the Royal Mile. We especially appreciated this since we were hauling our suitcases to and from the train station and Edinburgh is very hilly. We also really appreciated that they had a secure system for storing our bags after check out while we were touring the town before our train left.
They seemed to be understaffed for breakfast and ran out of clean plates and mugs, coffee and some food.
