Well situated clean and friendly hotel.

Lovely clean hotel, run by friendly attentive staff. Great location on a main road. A brisk walk gets you into the West End of Edinburgh in 20 minutes. It’s an ideal spot.

The rooms were terrible you could hear someone snoring in the next room. My room had a brown smear on the wall. It’s convenient for a cheap nights rest. The majority of the activities are about a 30-40 minute walk so pretty far in distance. The only redeeming quality was the staff whoever initially checked me in was great. Molina was apart of the staff as well and she was amazing and helped me to find a train. Whoever was in charge of breakfast and the morning shift was a pill and she was lucky I was on vacation otherwise I would not have been so kind.

Dirty, room

Room was dirty at our arrival, behind entry door was a pile of dirt, hair and other staff. Bed sheets had crums and hair! I asked front desk to please change sheets but they just covered the bed back. The mattress was horrible! After you layed on it, it sank in the middle! Very uncomfortable to sleep on. Floor was never swept. We used the coffee cups one morning and they didn't clean or exchange the cups untill 2 days later. Over all very disappointing.

We packed 5 people into a 2 bedroom suite and were very comfortable. Great spot with bus stop right out front and near so many neat places to eat and shop. The walk to Old Town is a little over a mile, but so worth it. We had a drink in the Cumberland pub and had a nice chat with the help. Would stay here again!

Property itself was very pretty. Our room accommodated 4 adults w 4 beds which was nice. Nice little bar open until 11, and good breakfast priced reasonably the next morning. The only thing I didn’t care for was the automatic light switch in the room- particularly in the middle of the night. Far too bright and stayed on too long disrupting sleep.
