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

went with few friends ,checked it Saturday night , and the buzz was great in the bar down stairs . The room was dirty, with sweet wrappers under the beds . window wouldn't close and was cold as one bed was under that window , room 110 . was quite for the rest of trip and room area was good... more

Its a hole!!! Mould everywhere, fire risks, small slanted bed. Avoid this hole at all costs. You can get much better at the same cost. I've been in better hostels than this hotel. more

It is very difficult to find the hotel. It is located on Cowgate Street which seems to only be accessible by using the small alleyways called "closes". I had a written confirmation that said that breakfast was included in the price, but the front desk said that is was not. Asked for a wake call, but never received one. Overall,... more

Ok, we read the reviews and decided to take a chance...no place would be THAT bad, right? (on our honeymoon, stupidly). The place smelled like regurgitated beer and stale [-]. I don't know what rooms they took their website photos in, but our room looked nothing like it. We DID ask for a corner room on the highest floor, which... more

I stayed here with my boyfriend New Years 07 for 4 nights. We are an out going lively couple we went out every night, we'd get back to the hotel at 1.30-2 am the bar was still in full swing each night till about 4-5am. We found it very noisy and hard to sleep even though we had a few... more

Didnt actually read reviews,till the morning we were setting off ! Was a little apprehensive as it appeared to be for younger people.On arrival,found the reception area,dirty and untidy. Our room clean,but very claustrophobic,only a small window,due to the nature of the lovely buildings architecture.There was a fan in room which was needed as it was very hot.The breakfast was... more
