Staff was friendly. Room was alright, bed very very soft, sheets not very comfy, pillow flat as a can be. View on the river was beautiful. The bathroom...it had mould on the ceiling and around the tub in the silicone. I didn't shower. The location is perfect, staff are great. Just cleaning doesn't seem to be a forte.

Room was big and it seems like a good location. The window latch was broken in my room when I arrived. I didn't think too much of it, but wind picked up overnight and window kept banging.

Staff are excellent in customer service. Breakfast is okay. Room needs upgrade- no exhaust, carpet looks older and not neat. The smell of mild dew in the room and hallways. Staff should improve more on it.

Glad I found a place that was less expensive than other hotels in Central Edinburgh. Good bed (best sleep I’ve had on my 3-week trip). Breakfast is okay. Housekeeping needs to vacuum the hall rugs. They didn’t refresh my room since I stayed there 3 days, so no fresh towels or trash thrown out, etc. A long, long walk from the Main Street (Princes Street), but good to get exercise. Not as nice as places where I usually stay. I was at breakfast, and the TV was on, and then the overhead music was turned on and too loud. Then I was eating breakfast with the TV on AND the overhead music. That was annoying. After about 5 or 10 minutes, the TV somehow went off.

It was okay but not good. Needs a complete renovation, but serves a purpose of a bed in a room. Think of it as very, very, budget accomodation and lower your expectations

Friendly pleasant staff especially at front of house, overall not a bad stay factoring in the price & proximity to the city centre we were quite pleased with our stay. The only thing that really stuck out to us was that the whole area around the food buffet/dining area on the hard floor was very sticky. Apart from that, the rest of public areas were clean & tidy, the room was clean & pleasant. There are some negative reviews on the property & i can kind of see where they maybe coming from as other people's views/expectations can vary slighlty, but atleast from our stay i have to give a positive review & we would return again in the future.

The hotel is in a terrible state both on the outside and inside. I made the unfortunate decision to book a room without windows - it was just one night, I would only sleep there, so thought it would work. Big mistake!! Such rooms should not be sold to people and especially not at these rates!!! No windows means no possibility to air the room other than via an air flow system that worked continuously day and night. It was noisy and not easy to sleep in those conditions. The bathroom was in a very sorry state, needs a complete refurbishment. At least the room was clean and it is the only reason I gave it 2 stars (out of 5) instead of the 1 it might actually deserve. Never again and especially never again a room without windows.

Clean room & bathroom. Small area for buffet breakfast (cooked & continental which we didnt avail of. It was only serving 7.30am to 9.30am and checkout at 10am. We were there for a concert at Murrayfield and it was okay for the one night needed. I paid £230 for a very basic double room. A bit overpriced for a dated hotel. But it served its purpose. Staff friendly enough and clean
