Beautiful old building. Rooms were very clean and plenty of space for 3 weary travelers. Flight of stairs with luggage about did us in but well worth it. Friendly staff.
Very little room. I booked a double room but it was very little and I was only given one bath towel and one hand towel.
I was given a Very dark corner room.
Super annoying motion detector bathroom light that noisily lighted up just by passing by it. However, it turned off while I taking a shower. I had to stop soaping once in a while to take my hand out of the shower stall to make movements and make it light up.
The very old mattress was very creaky and very uncomfortable. I thought that the springs would come out at any given time.
The breakfast has to be order the day before and it would only be served from 7 to 9 am. RIDICULOUS!
Kotrina at front desk was very helpful
20-30 minutes Away from most sites.
No heat in room, they did have a portable heater available.
No hot water, I had to take a shower in another room.
I would not stay again.
Clean, near public transportation.

Great location
Good basic hotel that was clean and had good staff. Excellent location as we walked to Princess St (20\30 minutes depending on pace).
Excellent location, friendly staff and good breakfast.
Room was a good size and bed was comfortable but the pillows were awful. Definitely in need of some options as not everyone likes a flat pillow.
All was great with our stay, as coffee addict I appreaciated the generous supply of in room coffee supplies. My wife prefers sheets and blankets to the duvet covers that are used all about now.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Arrived 45 mins early before checkin and asked if we could get into room. Was told shortly “no” and had a drink in bar - 6 quid for two cans of coke. Tv in room was good. Bed was so uncomfortable. Like balancing on a marshmallow….not stable at all.
The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean. The location was just a short walk to the Haymarket tram station. We had breakfast at the hotel twice during our stay. The omlette was excellent along with the self-serve coffee, cold cereal, juices, oast, yogurt, etc.
We asked for a double room but was given a twin, staff were no where to be seen when we tried to question. Room was cold, and smelled musty, almost damp. The room and the bathroom need to be updated, facilities were poor. You have to pay £10 to park your car which is unreasonable considering. Wouldn’t recommend.
