    When we arrived have booked a triple room for 3 of us check in was 4pm we checked in when to the room and 2 beds was in the room went down to be told no other triple rooms wer available and staff tried to sort it ended in a family room sharing a double bed needless to say it wasn't ideal but just got on with it as to find somewhere else was gonna be hassle staff and facilities are good I would recommend it but maybe double check Ur rooms beforehand.

    Hotel was near enough to the city centre hotel had a nice walk along side it and around the area was nice

    From the street this hotel almost looked like it was boarded up. This is a one star hotel. Musty odor in the halls and rooms. The place is filthy. They don’t clean the rooms during your stay. This place was horrible and read all the reviews. When we checked in they didn’t even give us the room we booked. When they corrected it still wasn’t correct. This was a huge disappointment

    Not much

    One member of staff was very rude and unfriendly to a Chinese/ Japanese tourist checking in . I was embarrassed witnessing it. The car parking was chaotic and extremely limited. I had to pay £12 extra for breakfast and I would have had to pay for parking but the machine was broken I would have though that these would have been included in the price which was high.

    The restaurant was like a work canteen with only one member of staff trying to get round all the tables.

    The shower didn’t work well. I had to pull the stopper up and hold it. If I didn’t then it came out the tap. I think this day and age ditch the bath and save water.

    Its location was fairly convenient to the city. It was largely what was expected with the faded Travelodge sign shadow on the side.

    The Wi-Fi was free in the lobby for all , but you had to PAY for it to work in your room! £150 for one night and you had to pay for the WiFi- scandalous and disgraceful. The decor was old and battered, the lift had graffiti scrawled in the panels, the tile job in the bathroom was shocking. Alleyways were dirty and needed cleaning. Breakfast was hit and miss also.

    Very little- the location is the only saving grace

    I've never seen a hotel before where you had to queue 25 minutes just to check in. The shower could do with an upgrade and the water was never more than warm. When we first got to the room the bathroom sink plug was down and partially filled with water that had some brown rust looking debri in it. I had to reach into it to pull the plug out and when the water had drained a greasy residue was left all below the waterline. No idea what that was about. I washed my hands thoroughly and put it out of my mind. I found a full set of toenail clippings beneath the bed. I thought it was funny but my fiance found it utterly repulsive. The fire alarm went off twice in the first hour after we'd checked in. Firstly for around 5 minutes and the second time for 30 seconds. We ignored it both times. Breakfast was not worth 12 pounds really, however I got the uncanny feeling I'd slipped back in time to some point in the 1990s and that alone was worth the price of admission. The food itself was not bad but the coffee is all from sachets. The hotel was a tad shabby and cold. If you want something impressive then you will have to shell out. Overall, it was a good enough place to crash in the city and any staff I interacted with were cordial and friendly.

    The location is a little awkward, but it's also a short beautiful stroll away from Dean Village, and not awfully far from the city center either.

    Bed was rock hard. Lacking normal amenities: hooks for towels, face clothes, mini fridge. No outlets next to the bed. Ice machine was out of service. Mold on the window sills.

    The staff were lovely. We reported that the toilet was not working and they came right away. There was also a fire alarm and the staff managed everyone well.

    The hotel was cheap and was what i was looking for for my stay in Edinburgh as it was really cheap for two nights. It had a comfortable bed and I got an uber each time I wanted to go into the centre of edinburgh as I had my two year old son although walking into town wouldnt of taken that long. The room had a TV and was big with tea and coffee facilities. The staff were really friendly and I would stay here again for a cheap and cheerful stay.
