Mixed feelings about this place. Let me start with the staff being GREAT! Besides that: It’s NOT a hotel, which I understood before staying here. However, you are paying hotel prices and would expect a decent bed and a certain level of cleanliness. Bed was terribly uncomfortable, and our bathroom had a strong stench of pee from day one. I asked reception to get it cleaned throughout the day and they didn’t do it, when I returned at night someone came right away and cleaned it. It smelled clean for one hour but once the chemical smell went away it was back. It smelled like a public bathroom. Shower had a whole wall of tiles with mold. On top of that, the bathroom light has a sensor and takes quite a few minutes to turn off. Not sure if I would stay here again.

İlk olaraq bura otel deyil ona görə də gözləntini aşağı tutmaq lazımdı. Otelin girişindən şampun və duş geli götürmək olur amma otaqda sabun yoxdu. Matras çox narahat idi və bir də dəmir yolunun tam yanında olduğu üçün hər 15-20 dəqiqədən bir keçən qatar səsi bəzən bezdirir adamı. Buna baxmayaraq şəhərin mərkəzinə yaxın olmasına və qiymətinə görə qalmaq olar.

They charge enough and give you zero amenities. Not even toilet paper! The hallway carpets are disgustingly filthy. Looks like there is blood on the carpets

The rooms are perfect for budget travelers. The property was well kept. Every 5 rooms had access to a full kitchen. The place is very clean and quiet and the rooms had private clean bathrooms with shower and a desk plus ample storage for clothing.. it is walkable to a number of bus stops and in a relatively quiet area. The only issue o has is that the mattress was completely worn down, only about 3 inches thick and you could feel every single spring popping through.

It was a nice and decent place to stay. At the time we went (late August) it was the most affordable place to stay in the city. We got two rooms with double beds and they were even able to get us rooms in the same section. Overall it actually exceeded what we were expecting so kudos to them.

Great budget option to use as a base for exploring Edinburgh. Accommodation was spotless and modern. About 15 mins to the castle but there's a bus stop 4 minutes away. 20 mins walk from the nearest tram stop from the airport. Free hairdryer, towels, tea, coffee and toiletries. Would definitely recommend.

This was afforable (for edinburgh in august) and ths staff were nice and very helpful when needed. The miniscule window didnt air out the room at all so even overnight it was humid and too hot. Also the bathroom light and fan were automatic so if you needed to use the bathroom in the night you were stuck with bright light under the door and loud whirring for about 10 minutes afterwards. I dont reccomend twin rooms with a bunk. The main lower bed was large and comfortable but the bunk bed placed over that was shaky, small, uncomfortable, didnt leave enough headspace, and the ladder to climb up needed shoes it was so sharp and hard on the last two steps. I wouldnt stay here again for those reasons but if you are looking for a room alone or not during the hotter parts of summer I imagine this would be much more comfortable to stay in.
