Super central and easy to reach!
In the middle of a busy day, you’re always able to come back and settle for a minute.
You are able to connect your device to the stereo system of the room so you’re able to listen to your music everywhere including the bathroom. Loved that!
Beautiful rooms and clean rooms as well as lovely staff.

I had a last minute change and was able to get a room. It turned out to be much bigger than I expected. There was air conditioning which was needed. Lovely space.

The property is in a great location. We had the dorm room which is perfect for a Hen do. The bar below is fun and the staff helpful.
The electric in the dorm room keeps tripping if multiple people use electrics (which they always do) and it took the facilities guy a good while to fix it, meanwhile there’s loads of people with wet hair in the dark. Once we found the fuse box (above fridge) it wasn’t an issue as we could fix it ourselves but it was a problem when we relied on others to fix it.

Great for grassmarket, castle, the sights, party area great fun and lovely hotel and staff
Just don’t think you should advertise air conditioning if its lowest setting is 21 degrees C. That’s not air con. That’s heating. Really makes sleeping hard if you’re an air con fan.

Fair
Very good for the stay hotel experience and kind of hotel staff. And then the opportunity of finding the castle ,restaurant and railway station. If possible I want to revisit the Stay Central hotel with my family.

Poor
Good location to central old town Edinburgh and ability to have more beds. Ping pong table and big screens showing soccer were nice. If I didn’t have kids with me I would have enjoyed the party scene atmosphere in courtyard more.
Not kid/family friendly when you have to walk thru loud, drinking, crazy party scene to get to room. Then you are kept awake until early morning with loud music, people banging doors to go to bathroom and loud banging above us until 2am. Don’t recommend this place for weekend stay if you have kids. Beds were not comfortable and room was very warm. Fan didn’t work much and bathroom door had a large gap right by toilet that had to be covered up. Also no elevator but stairs.
Thank you for your information!
