Great location, okay hotel
The location here was great, pretty much walking distance to everywhere. The room was burning hot but the thermostat was locked and we couldn’t lower it at all. Bathroom was nice with lots of hot water. The WiFi was out out entire three night stay which was really inconvenient.
We stayed for 1 night, our room was big, however very cold….
Breakfast was a bit of a farce menu with 6 choices and we were told only 2 available, don’t leave a menu and then tell guests there are only 2 choices
Incredibly located on the Cowgate, the Stay Central was a short walk to anything you could want to see in Edinburgh. Very clean, updated, and comfortable, I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Edinburgh!
Great location and great breakfast. Unfortunately it was VERY noisy one of the nights as the bars across the street parties till 1pm with very loud music.
Good place in a questionable location. So close to High street and wonderful restaurants and coffee places and yet surrounded by graffiti. Not easy to walk to with a suitcase from public transport. Large age range of guests, yet geared more to the younger generation. My room was large, clean and pleasant but next to bar with music playing until 11:00 p.m.
We have been travelling for more than 40 years, and my wife and I both agree, that this is possibly the best place we've stayed. Modern and clean rooms, and a short walk to the Royal Mile. There is also a great bar/restaurant downstairs.

The hotel appears to be right next to a nightclub that was open till 1:30 on a Friday. We had an early train to catch the next morning and getting good sleep as we wanted to was very difficult.
Aside from that the rooms were well equipped and clean.
