Place is a bit run down, and the room, especially the floors look a bit grimy.

Good location, easy to check in and checkout, comfortable bed.

This place was once really nicely renovated but lacks proper maintance. Linens were washed but had old stains. Water leaked under the sink.

This place has potential: the room iswell equipped, with lots of accessories (microwave, kettle, cutlery, etc), the bathroom has a large shower. Unfortunately, the carpet and the common spaces seem to bear the weight of years and years of service without any renovation.

Filthy carpet, no soap in bathroom dispensers, stained towels and sheets, strong smell from the adjoining restaurant. One evening we also had another guest come into our room using a code..they were clearly on the phone with the owner so the code was given out. They reacted to the person on the phone that there are people in the room. They were then told to try another room. The location is ok, but a long way from Edinburgh centre, especially in traffic. But buses are frequent.

Comfortable beds

Room not as advertised. Was an attic room low ceiling very claustrophobic.

I contacted the hotel via booking about how filthy the room and hotel were; in addition to a foul smell throughout the hotel itself. I was told to contact a phone number but I don’t have a working phone since I’m from Canada. I told management that there was blood on the sheets, the floors were filthy and everything was below any health and safety standards. No one from the hotel contacted me after to check in to see if I was able to contact the number. We were left completely alone since there is no reception and no one at a front desk. A health and safety officer should go and inspect the site since I have completely sure it would not pass regulatory standards.

The room was completely unsanitary as well as the whole complex. This site was a health and safety hazard.

BEWARE the owners are Thieves! This place had no hot water, so couldnt get a shower in the morning before heading to work. Notified the owner, but it still wasnt fixed by the evening, so we couldn't stay. Notified the owner, who then didn't reply and we left and booked somewhere else. BEWARE! The thieving owners will not give you a refund. I've been waiting months, contacted booking.com and still no payment returned. Looks like I'll be taking them to small claims court! Nothing but THIEVES!

The carpets in all three rooms we booked were visibly dirty and stained and seemed like they had not been vacuumed. The furniture in the rooms were stained and was obvious they hadn’t been properly cleaned. The bedsheets appeared to have not been changed — they showed signs of prior use and were unhygienic. The bathrooms were in a similarly neglected state: sinks were blocked, and the showers lacked functioning controls, fluctuating between scalding hot and losing pressure entirely. Additionally, the rooms were permeated with a strong smell of food from the curry house located directly below the hotel. The odour was overwhelming and made it difficult to relax or sleep comfortably. Beyond the rooms themselves, the condition of the hotel’s common areas was also concerning. We found screws and cigarette butts scattered throughout the hallways, which posed both a safety hazard and a clear indication of poor maintenance.

The building is looking tired and could do with a good clean and fresh paint. The Indian restaurant fumes were all through the lobby and on the upper floors

It was ok

Absolutely awful experience! Bought as a gift for my parents as had positive rating and the photos of the rooms were impressive but that is where is ended. Postman and shop owner nearby advised that it has not been used as a hotel in years. Tried contacting hotel, number used to check in didn't exist. Eventually managed to get a hold on someone who managed the hotel via a number on booking.com and they advised the booking didn't exist and I would have to get a refund from booking.com. Place was in darkness, grubby and awful. Ruined what was meant to be a thank you to my parents.

The telephone number to contact the property was OUT OF DATE on Booking.com. Still is today!!! We had a hot water issue and were not able to contact anyone at the property, so Booking.com had to facilitate corrective action. Finally, we had to access another room to shower in. Took far too long because of 3 year old telephone number.

Location, close to Edinburgh. Free parking, great restaurants nearby, quiet building. Had a lift so didn't have to climb stairs with luggage.

There was no reception, and no staff. Staff there were looking after property on the floors above. They were helpful but there was no one to communicate with re the room. I was unable to access the emails so had no room code. The rooms were really quite dirty and stale. There was no locks on the doors.

The location was ideal
