We decided to come to the Edinburgh Festival quite late in the day, so it was difficult to find anything that was not ridiculously out of our price range. We knew that we were going for something cheap, and our expectations were appropriate.
However, the bed was very small and *very* uncomfortable with access from only one side.
The shower was tiny; I am not a particularly big person, and I literally had to step out to turn round and go back in.
It would have been potentially useful to have access to the kitchen and dining area, and it was good to have a fridge, but sadly, there was no crockery or cutlery, making it largely useless.
Also, the kitchen was stiflingly hot because the window did not open.
Access to the room was made difficult by the fact that only one lift went up to our floor, but there was no way of choosing that lift. So you had to press the lift button, wait for a lift to appear and send it up to the fifth floor, then you had to press the lift button again to get the other lift so you could go up to the sixth floor. Laughable, really.
It describes itself as being for adults only, and they are very fierce about checking your adult credentials, but once you get there, it's not really designed for adults. It's very definitely student accommodation.
It's not really a hotel. We definitely wouldn't go back.
