Terrible excuse for a hotel, best described as a poor bedsit.

Nothing to note.

Everything. Value for money outrageous for price charged. Stayed 15 mins and left to find somewhere else.

Good value for money - would return

Very good value for the money we paid. Cheap enough accommodation on a rugby match day & very close to Murrayfield. Hotel was clean and had everything you could've needed for a night's stay

The beds were rather squeaky, but very comfortable so didn't mind too much. We had a room with a shared bathroom which was strange however there were 3 bathrooms to share and all were clean and fully stocked

Easy access to Edinburgh as on bus route.

The property was very tired and in need of repair. Staff spoke very little English.

5.0 / 10.0

Cheap and cheerful

Location was good just £3 on bus in to city runs 24h Hotel very run down but clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly. Breakfast is not fantastic but you can have more if you like. I would say its a 2 star hotel. But as its cheap and clean we go back every year. We don't spend time there only to sleep. I think this is a good place but you need to know what you are booking.

Hotel very run down

The location was great. Breakfast was small but acceptable.

There was no hot water to wash with in the mornings. The room needed a good hoover as there was hair from previous guests when we walked down side of bed. The tap water in room we was told was not drinkable as it can out of a tank in the loft but wasn’t provided with any to drink. I wasn’t keen for hygiene reasons to use the toiletries they provided as stated in discrimination as when we got there they were big bottles that had been used by others. Tea cups were dirty in the room and the tv didn’t work. There was no bar to get just a drink even though it stated bar and had prices on the bar.

I'm surprised this very old house is even on your site.

Nothing.

Bedroom window didn't lock or operate properly. Bedroom light was hanging off the ceiling. Shower water pressure non existent. Shower door had to be held shut why you showered. Breakfast juice was squash not juice. Croissants were stale. Bedroom door did not appear to be a fire rated door.

Pleasant overnight stay

It’s on the Airlink 100 route from the Airport. Bed was very comfortable.

There is plenty of space in front of the hotel. It would be nice to put a couple of tables for guests to enjoy a drink.

I just needed somewhere to stay overnight to catch my flight out of Edinburgh. The property is right on the bus line and easy to get to the airport. The staff was very nice and welcoming.

It’s very basic. A little rundown, and a little noisy. If I had wanted more, I would have stayed somewhere else and paid more. So I really don’t have any complaints.

Very good value for money and great location not luxury accommodation.

The hot water didn’t work on the last morning, but the staff were very helpful about it.

recommend for one night stay

Location is very good - walking distance to tram station and stadium. Very welcoming host, friendly and helpful. We had to leave early in the morning - he packed us breakfast, was very kind of him. Tea, coffee in the room.

it's slightly old, the floor not very clean - had trash under our beds. A bit too expensive for such place, but maybe it was a high season... idk

Unfortunately wouldn't go back

Location to Murrayfield was ideal

Decor was dated, bedding was stained, lamp shade all crumpled, £130 for a room that wasn't worth £50

7.0 / 10.0

Perfect for Murrayfield concerts/events

Friendly welcome. Breakfast was lovely.

Decor is a little bit tired, and one of the beds was held up with bricks! No hot water left after 1 shower. Can't really complain for the price though, we were all comfortable enough and had a good sleep. Perfectly acceptable for 1 night.

Handy for Murrayfield

Location to Murrayfield and bus stop. Also great parking and let us leave car there before and after checkout. Staff great at explaining which bus to catch

Shower was awful.

Nice cheap hotel well connected to the center

Cheap hotel well connected to the city center. Perfect both if you want to visit the city or if you want to stay only one night. The breakfast was full of good dishes. The host was really welcoming and available for everything. The room was a little too small, but it was full of all the essentials.

Good value with friendly service let down by a non-functioning shower

The owners were very friendly and helpful. It was easy to park on the street.

The shower did not work at all. The place is very “squeaky” - everything creaked!

7.0 / 10.0

It was okay

It was cosy, seemed like a family business, staff was very nice and the beds were comfy.

The room was overall clean, but due to havinga carpet. The floor could have been more clean as I found a pair of dried contact lenses on the floor. The shower door didn't close when having a shower,and as it was a bit small, it reduced the space of the shower. The check out time at 10 it was a bit early for us, we arrived at 19 pm so we expected this to be a bit later. However, we didnt ask for any other time to check out.

Poor

Not alot really, good location

Asked to pay more than expected. The whole hotel need some work very shabby in parts. Needs a very good cuddle to say the least.. not as we expected. Only one member of staff could understand English was a real problem. The only other member of staff couldn't understand at all. Would never use again. Other people stopping ar the hotel were in agreement.
