Location was good. Thats about it. The rooms on the bottom level are awful, low ceilings, really tiny spaces, dirty floors - the ones on the street side (room 126) had a window that was at the street path level with no lock on the window and it was right next to a Chicken Cottage so there were drunk people... more

Lift did not work, bed extremely uncomfortable with a mattress that had definitely seen better days. The bath towels provided were far too small and one was threadbare. No soap or shampoo were provided. Staff all seemed to be foreign and the standard of English did not seem to be high. Nor did that of politeness but that may be... more

Stayed for four nights during a very busy time, so the £49 a night represented value. A few issues which slightly marred my stay; room sash window nailed partially open, so no way of raising it or lowering it depending on the weather. One window pane broken and patched with cardboard. Communal bathroom had quite a lot of flies in... more

Me and my fiance just came back from holiday. We booked this cheap hotel so i don't need to drive back to aberdeen at 12 midnight. On arrival we were annoyed, there was no parking available like it said while booking this hotel. Once inside the man on reception was foreign and was weird looking he was also very rude... more

We stayed there in 2005 and it was pretty nice, so we booked there again this time. Location is pretty good, just minutes walk away from Princess St, but that's the only positive point we keep in mind. Room itself was very basic but ok. But for any reason, a piece of wall was very hot and the temperature in... more

It was with some trepidation that I booked this hotel when I read the reviews. However I was pleasantly surprised. I stayed in a good size single room, which was immaculately clean with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was included which was good, choice of cereals, yoghurts plus a fry if you wanted it. All in all for £50 per night... more

Booked hotel in good faith as website portrayed clean mid range hotel [£77/ double] .Walked down York Place saw tattered flags,unpainted door, filthy windowsand started to worry.Reception resembled acommunist Russia Transit camp manned by robotic , cold scruffy chap.Directed to dank,dark,insecure Luggage room. Managed to book in to Thistle Hotel around the corner and although twice the price was at... more

Great location in central Edinburgh but the place needs a thorough overhaul. The lift is a tiny, coffin-like affair which scared me so much that I gave up using it. Our room was big and overlooked the main street and seemed OK at first but filled up with flies for some reason when we left the window open. The bathroom... more
