Fabulous location, right near the bars, party spots, etc but the hotel itself was awful. The staff person was friendly, the elevator and the rooms small, smelly and downright crummy. Definitely not the place to bring kids. more

I think this hotel is so awful I feel compelled to write this review before I have even checked out. A previous reviewer has already described the room I sit in now but unfortunately I hadn’t read that particular review before I booked. The hotel surrounds the courtyard of what appears to be a student bar and even though they... more

I couldn't beleive the bad reviews for a three star hotel, how wrong I was. Room carpet threadbear and ripped. Neither of the two blinds in the room worked properly, when I tried to close one it fell on my head. Staff in hotel great and did their best. Breakfast excellent. Staff in attached bar surly and unhelpfull. Totally overpriced... more

We stayed at Tailors Hall as we had booked for Military Tattoo the room was based on a per person as opposed to room so it cost us £300 for 2 of us, clearly the prices were raised due to the tattoo. Our room overlooked the courtyard, the window in the room was double glazed and sound proofed, however the... more

Excellent for us, spend most of the night out in the pubs, then back to the room! 24 service so you could come and go and you please! Rooms were very clean and tidy spacious enough and staff were very friendly and helpful! If you want a quiet night your stupid to stay here anyway because its above a pub,... more

Check in was at 2 which I thought was a bit late. The place was so hard to find, can't blame to hotel for this, just our shoddy map reading. Location is a bit grotty, very much like a back alley. Exterior of the hotel is attractive, very atmospheric but nothing like the pictures I had seen before arrival. The... more

I was really worried about staying here after reading some of these reviews but it was absolutely fine. Granted, the noise from the bar downstairs is loud if your room is near the courtyard, so its not for those looking for a quiet weekend but if your here for a partying/drinking weekend, its perfect - we were on a hen... more

We are a group of a dozen 60 somethings and we stayed here for 2 nights. I must admit I was prepared for the worst, but because of when we stayed - during the week - we were spared much of the noise spoken about by some reviews I've read elsewhere. A few days before we left for Edinburgh I... more

Very disappointing. This "hotel" should be reassessed as a hostel because there is no way this place qualifies for a hotel. Only good point was that it was cheap... I should've known better. Room: the first room they showed me had a window held up by a drinking glass, the second room was stuffy, I finally chose the 3rd room... more
