    The staff were excellent. Particular thanks to Jenny at breakfast who loaned me her own phone charger. Excellent vegan breakfast too.

    Stairwells leading up to the rooms could do with new carpets and walls need cleaning. Could do with some money spent on redecorating although understand that due to current economic climate this may not be possible.

    All staff very friendly and helpful. Easy check in, room facilities excellent (room 202) but quite a lot of dust and cobwebs. Bar / Restaurant staff very accommodating.

    The restaurant, there was only one staff and had to wait a while to be served. Personally I didn’t enjoy the food and its price very much.

    Room was lovely and spacious. Easy access to the city centre. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

    Needs some repairs to stains on ceiling from previous leak. Tiles in bathroom needs finishing with grout. TV in bathroom not working. TV in bedroom on the wall to the left caused neck pain to watch, TV should be directly facing end of bed.

    The hotel is nice comfortable and staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is good.

    The hotel needs a bit updating facially, nothing major

    I was disappointed with not having any breakfast on my second morning stay despite paying for it. It was mainly my fault but there is NO written literature in the room which gives the times of breakfast schedules and checkout times. I arrived late for breakfast by 15 mins. And my android phone had no Internet at the time. The breakfast buffet is nice with a wide selection.

    I wasn't sure about the TV being so high ? Not enough staff,

    The building was a really lovely old building with hugh bedrooms which need renovated which I was told was being done this year, Could do with more staff, the food in the evening was excellent the breakfast was okay, I thought £160 was abit steep for one night if breakfast was included I wouldn't have minded paying £160 I will stay again as it has a lot going for it and the location is great

    The headboard of the bed was scratched and nasty looking. Everything else was okay but feeling ick about headboards isn’t ideal.

    My only nitpick was the WIFI wasn’t the strongest; this did not have any impact on the quality of my stay, however.

    The property was wonderful; only twenty minutes by bus to the Old Town, and with such friendly and helpful staff. My room was very clean and comfortable. I had a very lovely stay and can’t wait to return!

    Room, although large and comfortable, was a little tired and had a view of bins. Ask for the 2nd floor if you want a better view.

    Location ideal for a bus into city centre. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly.

    Room was private enough if you kept the blind down. Considering how cheap the room was we expected a lot less for the price we paid.

    Perfect location for peaceful break. Not too far from city centre but far enough away to enjoy both sides of Edinburgh . Breakfast highly recommended as well.

    I feel more staff could have been available on reception desk when times were busy and we waited for a long time because a customer in front was taking so long. Also didn’t like the bar nibbles of bread and olive oil because this felt like leftover toast from breakfast. I was excited to have some quality bread. Was also sad my chocolate strawberries I ordered weren’t available when I got to the hotel but I hadn’t been informed.

    Convenient location close to bus stop and easy access to city centre. Breakfast was good with a selection of cereals, pastries, yoghurt and cooked breakfast. Liked the king size bed and spacious bedroom. Staff were helpful and friendly, making our trip run smoothly.
