The location is excellent, but

The location is excellent, but this really is a very basic hotel that needs to be renovated. If you are not going to spend much time in the room, then it is fine for the rates offered. Bathroom was quite ordinary with an unpleasant drain smell and the towels had seen better days. Paint coming off the ceiling....you get the point! Stay if you want very easy access to the city, but don't expect anything above average.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

If you want to check out the city, go the The Edge skyscraper, you get a full 360 degree view from the 85th floor. If you go in the early evening, you can catch it during daylight time then watch the sunset for 1 price. St. Kilde is pretty nice too if you want to hit the beach, short train ride away.
