Price Is Right

As budget lodgings go, this is a good one. Normally, this is a dormitory for university students and is staffed by student workers, but it is opened up a few weeks a years for travelers. Think of it as a youth hostel for older adults. Room was small, even by Eruopean standards, but it is ensuite. Location was challenging at times for hired drivers, like Uber. It is possible to walk to wherever you want to go. All keys are electronic and seem new. Ours malfunctioned, which nearly caused a panic.

Good, friendly,clean

Staff were brilliant on checking in and throughout our stay. The bed although a 3/4 sized double was big enough for both of us and we are both nearly 6" The room was clean andvwell presented with private en-suite which was also clean Not far from shops, cafes and bars Although its student accommodation there were all types of visitors that we saw and not all students Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere cheap, friendly and off the main roads. Not far from Edinburgh city centre

Good overall

Overall we had a good stay and although the room was small it was clean and adequate as a base. Only issue we had was we had arranged in advance to leave our bags at the property prior to check-in but when we arrived there was noone on reception or answering the phone so we had walked from the station there and still had to use another luggage storage facility.

Avoid it if you can

Shower in my room was visibly broken. Not sure how was this missed during cleaning? I asked for another room, nothing was available but they would apparently fix it "soon" but unable to specify what "soon" means. When I asked for a refund, they told me it's not possible because I booked it through hotels.com. Few seconds later one room is available. Magic :) While waiting at the reception, I witnessed another 3 customers complaining about messy room, dirty sheets, lack of toilet paper. At this point I know this place was a mistake.. Anyway, got my second room. I wouldn't call it clean, toilet seat and the door to underbed storage were broken. Since I was staying for only one night I have just left it.. On the positive side, you can get a decent view out if you are lucky and get upper floor :) To sum it up: If you want to fully enjoy Edinburgh, avoid this place.
