3.5 star ratingExtremely convenient position. Almost perfectly placed in Edinburgh for everything. Three minutes to M & S and main shops. Ten minutes to the castle, Five minutes to the Book Fair. The bus to/from the airport is ten minutes away. Fridge in the room good for keeping own drinks and food cold. Front room was susceptible to traffic noise until about 11.00pm. Television was very poor and very old. Bathroom a bit sad. 24 August 2008
4.5 star ratingExcellent location. Staff were great. Really good value for money. Good breakfast. Quirky old-fashioned decor - but in a good .No parking - you have to pay & display if you can find a space, and still have to walk quite far to the hotel.06 October 2008
3.0 star ratingLocation of this hotel was fantastic. Staff were all very helpful and friendlyNeeds a bit of a face lift, looking dirty and taty in places.08 November 2008
4.0 star ratingWell placed for all Edinburgh attractions, staff friendly and rooms always well serviced.Heating too high, noteco friendly to waste so much energy when turning it down a bit would be so easy! Black mould in the bathroom tiles this time and also in previous rooms, no excuse for not dealingwith this.09 November 2008

3.0 star ratingQuiet, fairly well maintained premises very central to most tourist areas and with easy access to transport links.No on site food, bar, gym etc. The restaurant accross the street used for breakfast was excellent.10 November 2008
4.5 star ratingGood location and value for money.Staff unable to locate any extra blankets in the hotel during a very cold November stay. Eventually slept under an extra throw and coat!25 November 2008
4.5 star ratingI had read some negative comments about this hotel before I booked it, but I would have nothing but positive things to say about it after staying there three nights. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Yes, of course, the place could do with a bit of a make over, but it is comfortable and very central. Daily my room was made up, towels changed. My room had a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. I suppose some people don't like having to go across the street to Rick's for breakfast, but I found it very acceptable. I would have no hesitation in recommending this central hotel to any one.05 December 2008
2.0 star ratingLocation, location, locationHave stayed here about 8 - 10 times, and always accepted the dowdy looks as "charming". However, this time the room was very poor. Bathroom tiles were all cracked so it was dangerous. Very tatty and needs a refurb17 December 2008

5.0 star ratingThe hotel was centrally located, the breakfast menu was excellent. My room was of a very high standard (exactly like the pictures on the website) and beds were comfortable.
