The outside of the building was not inviting and more signs to confirm you are heading in the right direction would be beneficial. The restaurant was not inviting very open, cafeteria environment. Not welcoming for a late night drink. The room, whilst clean, was very old fashioned, beds looked like they were from the 60s. Mattress dipping in the middle. Only 1 pillow per bed. No extra blankets in case you got cold. Window looking out to river was lovely but window is in desperate need of a clean on the outside. Bathroom was mouldy, mould on the ceiling and black grout in-between tiles. No toilet brush. Very noisy, with peoples room doors slamming, some door closers on these would be beneficial. Also a larger tv would be better. Better quality of tea and coffee would be nice.

This hotel seems to be stuck in the 80s. Last minute booking as I had booked the wrong night at a Premier Inn, so took what we could get, but it certainly wasn’t up to the standard of a Premier Inn or even a Travelodge, but cost about 3 times as much. Granted, it was extremely last minute booking, on a Saturday night on a rugby weekend in Edinburgh but excessive cost for the quality. Only one pillow each. Saying that, everything was really clean, nice towels and toiletries. Reception staff quite unfriendly. Sorry, but everything needs a huge modernisation especially at the price.

We were told there was parking, not limited parking and it was £7.50 per day. The boiler was noisy effecting sleep. Room was cold, dovet wast the right size for the bed. Rooms were clean. At breakfast the trays wernt replenished enough, coffe machine was out of order..the hot water was cold. Staff seemed disinterested. We just expected more for the money we paid.

It was fine just to sleep, the room could do with sockets by the bed, windows be cleaned, the kettle was rusty. The shower could do with a squiggy broom to clear the water as it gets sprayed everywhere.

Over priced hostel not a hotel.
This hotel should now be reclassified as a hostel and a very poor over priced one at that. No housekeeping service unless we stayed longer than 4 days! The beds remained unmaid, room not cleaned daily and toilet left uncleaned. The room was made up of unmatched furniture and the bed mattresses were like sleeping on a bag of rocks.

never again
The place advertises an old façade and yet it's a cruddy new build. The rooms felt shabby and post Soviet. The shower was terrible. It's also not near a single thing. Even though the listing says it's downtown. Not a store, not a bar, not a restaurant, nothing. But the big piece is that they actually have no Wi-Fi in the rooms? I mean, it's 2024. Give me a break. The place was dismal and I'll never go there again and I'm angry that hotels.com lets things advertise the way they do.

Think Fawlty Towers but without Basil…!
Dated, run down and just unpleasant. Room was not serviced at all in the four nights we stayed, hot water was turned off for maintenance in the morning, surely this should be done overnight when guests are sleeping. Fire alarm went off, staff did not know what to do, fire exit almost blocked by two large skips. Extraction fan stuffed full of toilet paper, iron leaked and did not have a current PAT certificate as did the kettle. Saturday morning early deliver right under window, surely use the delivery bay. Room smells of damp. Bath not cleaned, slip mat was full of hair, mould in shower curtain and on tile grout, two small bottles of shower gel for two adults for four nights and when I say small I mean small. Bed very uncomfortable. Hotel needs a complete refurbishment. On check out day our door was knocked twice before our official leaving time to see if we had gone. Would we stay here again - hell no!
Extraction fan filled with toilet tissue.
