10/10 Excellent
"The checkin was easy and our room was ready (at 10am!).Our room was comfortable and well laid out. The shower was easy to use and the water nice and hot. The towels were large and absorbant.
The staff was astounding. Everyone was extremelly friendly yet professional, and helpful.They couldn't do enough for the guests. They even brought the manager's black lab out to visit for us!
The location is very handy to get to sites of interest."
"We stayed at this centrally located hotel during the Edinburgh Fringe festival. The hotel is ideally suited for either exploring the old town section of the city or the various venues of the festival. But the price of the location is that the lobby is very packed and busy with some of the festival venues located in the hotel. Even with a room in the rear of the hotel, we had noise issues in the morning with a waste removal truck in the car park.
Nevertheless, the proximity of the hotel to the city center and the Edinborough castle cannot be overlooked. For our short stay, the location was ideal. The staff was very friendly and accommodating of our needs. We would recommend this hotel."
"Easy check in, clean and well kept accommodations. Friendly and inclusive staff. Nifty old building. Nice vibes throughout. Convenient location.
I stayed in a private room so cannot speak for the dorms, however, our room was satisfactory, cool and comfy.
I stayed only 1 quick night so wasn’t able to enjoy any activities besides sleeping, but they seem to have schedules of things going on in (or around?) the hostel.
Would recommend if you want to stay close to the city centre and want to be around other travellers. You can choose between shared dorm rooms or private rooms. "
"Excellent and friendly welcome, room was checked over before giving us the keys, answered our questions (regarding public transport to Edinburgh).
Good night’s sleep, comfortable and quiet.
Good continental breakfast in the morning was good, with good service, option of coffees which where brought to the table.
Would recommend this hotel, not large but good."
