Wouldn’t recommend for couples
Room was tiny. In order to make a hot drink you had to shut the door to the bathroom. Had to leave the tap running as no way to keep water in sink. No view. After 3 nights we were more than ready to move on. It is handy to train station and for 1 person would probably be ok. No fridge. Only continental breakfast available.

Adequate hotel for those needing proximity to the train station. Plenty of amenities nearby, though can subsequently be quite noisy at night. Room fine, if quite small, but basic.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Don’t stay here. Staff was rude. Especially the Russian. He will double charge your accommodation if there was a problem in the booking. I booked a “King-size bed.” Got less than a Queen-Sze. The universal breakfast is “available.” -Not complimentary. And for what it looked like, the breakfast wasn’t worth the price anyway. I DO NOT recommend this place.

This hotel was perfectly located for our trip. We were able to walk just about everywhere and there were bus stops and a train station right out front for those trips that were too far to walk. Only real down side of the place was the alley out back was hella noisy at night.

The location was fabulous - only a few steps away from Edinburgh Waverley train station. Very convenient. The room was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was ready when we arrived a couple of hours early which was great and they were able to hold our suitcases for a couple of hours after we checked out - again very convenient. I would definitely stay there again.

Good location to train station - ok stay.
Not sure why I was put into an accessible room - meant that there was no surface space for toiletries and the sink was very low and I am only 5ft 4. The pillows were extremely thick and hard and the room was boiling hot, couldn't work the in room aircon/fan. The bathroom sink was dirty with brown stains. Disposal cups and drinks stirrers as opposed to china cups and metal spoons. Seems very un eco-friendly. Good location to the trainstation

Simple but nice.
Welcoming staff, efficient checkin. Room was nice if a little lacklustre- the plain white textured walls felt a bit dreary. No mugs only paper cups which was a shame. I had a double which was actually two twins next to each other and i did sink into the middle dip a bit but generally a comfy bed. Double window system blocked out noise very well even though on a busy street opposite train station.

You’re at the heart of it all - very easy to walk everywhere. The staff are very friendly, and the room was clean. Had all the amenities I needed - I was particularly worried about a hair dryer :)
