The hotel was great near all attractions. The issue I had was I needed to cancel a room but couldn’t do it through Expedia. They advised to contact the hotel directly, but as I’d booked and paid through Expedia I couldn’t cancel it direct. So ended up paying for a room and a breakfast that I didn’t use.

Pros: -Location is amazing. Within walking distance of a lot of great things. -Cheap Cons: -Floors are a bit dirty. No fan in bathroom means all smells linger. -Could not do early check in. When I went to my room there was the strong smell of poop, meaning it wasn't cleaned well or someone just pooped in the bathroom. -Staff varied. Some staff was helpful and friendly, other staff was weirdly rude. -Cheap feeling. Had the delux room and was near identical to my friends regular room save for the better wifi. Overall - a cheap option in a great location, but it does feel cheap and hospitality is hit or miss.

Hotel is perfectly located on Princes Street with plenty to see and do within walking distance. The front staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast which I purchased a couple of mornings was great value with 2 kids. The room itself was disappointing- while the bed was very comfortable, the room was very basic and grubby.

Great location, cleanliness could’ve been better.

Location was great - 12 min walk from Waverley train station, directly on a large shopping street with all the buses and trams, a 15 min walk to the Royal Mile. Lots of cafes and fast food options right next to the hotel. Check in and check out very easy and quick, staff was very welcoming. Room was spacious. I question the use of carpeting for flooring as it’s fairly rainy in Edinburgh so it obviously gets damp and musty when you come in the room with your wet shoes and coats. It would also have been nice to have somewhere to put your suitcase rather than on the floor.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Rooms were on the small side and had no amenities other than an electric kettle which I thought was odd for the price. However it seems this is typical for the area and this would be an average sized room. The morning staff was very helpful and accommodating. They went out of their way to make our early check in happen and I am forever grateful to them and applaud their level of customer care! However during the evening shift at the last day of the stay, a particular staff member seemed to care less to help arrange a taxi for my family to the airport which I ended up just doing myself. I never had a staff member at any hotel not jump at to assist in arranging taxis so this definitely left a bad impression with me that some may call petty but with the amount of travel I do, I can afford to demand some level of customer service. However one bad experience should not overshadow the good service which I received otherwise through the stay. Breakfast in the neighboring restaurant was actually very good and reasonably priced for the area. Speaking of the area, it’s location was perfect. Easy to walk just about anywhere or hop on a bus or tram and get there with ease. If you come during Christmas time, you will be in the perfect place for accessing the Christmas markets since they will be directly across the street from the hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room seemed clean - but discovered that under a nightstand there was snot and "nosebleeds" from previous guests dried around the wall - so I assume the room had not been cleaned - when we informed the staff about the blood and showed pictures they did not think you could be sure that it was blood - our little child had fallen asleep so we could not ask for cleaning - but the next day after breakfast (here the service in the restaurant was top notch by the way) we asked the staff to clean the room - and we put all our things together so that it could be cleaned properly and hung a sign on the door - when we came home from our sightseeing the room had still not been cleaned - so we made the cleaning lady aware of it - she did not have it on her list though - so the service desk still had not informed about it. When we returned many hours later the blood and snot had been removed but the room had not been vacuumed or anything (so they had not cleaned anything other than the blood) and there was a folded towel with makeup on it, possibly our own, I had put our towels we had used in the morning on the bed - but it still could have been good service to give that room a total cleaning also with changing towels and more - there was also some candy wrapper trash that was not from us under one of the beds when we arrived. I have included a photo of the blood which was bigger than a man's hand

This is probably the first hotel I stayed at that had the least amenities. First of all it had 2 beds in the room, one twin and one queen. That is not the issue. The problem was that the twin mattress, the coils were sticking out. The pillows were very flat. The shower only had body gel and no shampoo or conditioner. Toilet paper was limited. They did not leave extra in the room. No lotion in the room. The cold water did not come out of faucet in the shower. Only shower towel and one hand towel. I was traveling with my friend. On the positive side, close to attractions, close to very good restaurants and cafes. Close to bus station. Breakfast was good.
