Disliked: Room comfort
Fair accommodation, good location but stuffy rooms
Location for the hotel was excellent, a quick tram ride into town or a 30min walk. There were also plenty of cafes, bars and shops nearby. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean with a very good shower. However, the tiny sink made it difficult and the general cramped nature of the room also was tricky. The main downside for us however was the uncomfortably warm temperature. We turned our radiator down to zero but still the room was stiflingly hot at all times, and the window would not stay open, so we had to wedge something there to get a breeze in. The room was also not at all private, with the window looking out immediately to the gate for guests to enter and exit. Some blinds/frosted glass/net curtains would have allowed more privacy. There were also lots of marks on floor, walls and furniture giving a very tired look. It was fine for a short stay and we didn't spend much time in the accommodation so didn't bother us too much, but the heat did prevent us from having good quality sleep. There is also no one in reception except for hours when as a guest, you are typically out exploring (12-8). A tip for other guests regarding parking - there is pay and display parking in nearby streets (free on Sundays) but you can drop bags by the hotel as the street is quite quiet, and then go to park in the free street parking around the Easter Road Football Grounds (around 15mins walk away) as long as you're comfortable leaving your car on the street (we had no issues).
