Arriving at the hotel, I found the rooms to be quite new and the shower very nice. The room was spacious enough for me, my partner, and our two kids, although we did have a small hiccup with the heating starting later in the day. The service was a mix of cheeky attempts to upsell and friendly, helpful interactions. The location, although a bit far from the city at around 2 km, was still centric and convenient, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The dining experience left something to be desired with the lack of fresh food and the need for a cooked breakfast. Overall, the stay was decent, especially considering the price.

The hotel is very close to the town center, offering a convenient location, but noise from thin walls can be disruptive. The staff are kind and accommodating, although check-in can be slow. The dining options are overpriced and subpar, with cleanliness issues noted. The rooms are small, dated, and prone to leaks, affecting sleep quality.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable, ideal for a short stay, but my attic room was small and noisy. The service was top-notch, with prompt assistance from the staff, but there were inconsistencies. The location was relatively close to the town center, though some noise concerns existed. Dining was a major letdown, overpriced and unacceptable. Overall, a decent stay with some flaws to consider.

My stay at the hotel was quite convenient for a city break in Edinburgh. The room I got, despite being at the bottom of the stair case, was spacious enough for three people and very clean. However, being in a tiny, scruffy loft room felt a bit cramped. The location was great with some good pubs and restaurants nearby and a short walk to the center, though slightly far from Princess Street. The dining was a bit off with additional charges for baggage storage and electricity issues, but the local products were a plus.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms felt more like a hostel setup rather than a venue you'd expect for the price. Being located in the attic didn't add to the feeling of security. However, the staff's response to early arrival was commendable.

I found this hotel to be a great budget-friendly option with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The rooms are cozy, even if they smelled slightly damp, but the free upgrade to a larger room was a pleasant surprise. The thin walls and noisy service were a downside, but considering the reasonable price, it's still a fantastic choice, especially for those looking to save some money.
