    The corridors could of been alot cleaner as there was alot of towels and bedding and furniture left in the corridors. The hotel has an older look it's okay if your not looking for something expensive and the bare minimum in rooms.

    Not much to really like there was a bar which seemed good for a drink but was bare minimum and not busy when I was there.

    Loud neighbours, thin walls, shady location and crowd was a lil rough. The bathroom can use some renovation and cleaning. Room service would have been appreciated, especially as the stay was for 5 nights. But the staff was helpful and resourceful.

    Staff was very kind. Facilities were okay.

    Staff were rude and the room was dirty. We found items left around the room from the previous people that stayed so it wasn’t cleaned properly. These were found on the floor and on the sides.

    It was in a nice location with a nice walk to the centre

    The beds were absolutely awful. My lower back and sides are actually in pain because of how thin the beds are. I would strongly advise these need to be changed. I also didn't like the smell of our hotel room, it smelt of cannabis and sweat, it did not smell clean at all. It also smelled of damp. There were cobwebs in the corners of our room, which highlighted that simple dusting wasn't properly carried out. The staff at reception were extremely blunt with me and my husband. We did not feel welcomed into the hotel at all, and the attitude from staff continued to be negative during our whole stay. We had no room service during our stay, our towels weren't refreshed, and toilet rolls weren't changed either. A light bulb had gone in our room leaving the room quite dim.

    I liked the location. It was a 20 minute walk into the city centre which for us was absolutely fine. If you're unable to walk long distances I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Bed sheets were clean, and the hotel seemed to have everything we needed on a very basic level. The room sizes are okay, they don't need to be any bigger, we stayed in a double room and there was enough space. I like that this hotel is dog friendly, it's very convenient.

    I had to pay £10/night extra for a room with window because apparently I booked a room without a window, where exctaly did it say on booking page that this was a room with no window I don't know. Lifts inside were disgusting and in rooms would do with fixing few things.

    Really nice location, staff members were helpful and welcoming, no fuss cash payments, price although I had to pay extra was still ok.

    The room was quite dirty and cold in the night, as the heating wasn’t working good enough.

    It was spacious enough for two persons and with a bathtub

    The room was dirty and in desperate need of some small repairs (window lock, curtain, lose tiles). Dust bunnies everywhere and a lot of black and pink mold in the bathroom. The bed was also one of the worst ones I've encountered.

    The location of this hotel is quite nice and I especially enjoyed walking alongside the "river". The bed sheets and pillows where clean and comfortable.

    The room was dirty, mouldy and the window didn't shut, which would've been fine if we weren't level to the road/entrance that everyone came down and the bin men (I think) that came crashing down at 4...

    It was cheap.

    The hotel is advertised to be a 15minute walk away from Princes street shopping. In reality the distance is a whole 40minute walk away making it harder to access in foot. The beds are rock hard and uncomfortable and the bathroom facilities dirty.

    The staff was friendly but blamed the hotels misleading information on booking.com
