Breakfast was good
The room was clean when we arrived but no cleaning whilst there, bins were full, clean towels only after 3 days and we had to use the towels to mop the floor in the bathroom as water came up from floor

The location is excellent
Breakfast had very few choices.
They refresh your room every 3 days. Despite we noticed that when we booked the room, we realised that it's cumbersome.
We asked for two chairs, but they brought only one, stating that those were the property rules, only one chair per room, no matter that we had paid for two passengers

Breakfast was amazing. Lots of choices included. 7/24 Coffee and tea availability was nice. The rooms are big and clean. Have enough equipment in the kitchen. The staff was kind and cheerful. PERFECT Location. 5 minutes to downtown & bus stop in front of the hotel. Felt like our home.
A/C could be nice in summer time.

This place can be rented throughout the year by students, so it is not just a room but a real studio, spacious and equipped with everything! The windows are big so the rooms are luminous. You can even wash and dry your clothes.
Maybe not enough chairs in the breakfast area for the room capacity of the building. Also, the drain of the shower was clogged with hair from previous occupants. Would be nice if the cleaners checked such aspects as well.

Amazing location - 20 mins max walk to the castle and Edinburgh centre. 10 mins to Haymarket station and nearest tram stop. Great facilities and nice room size.
Breakfast buffet is only Monday - Friday, not an issue just something to be aware of. No parking onside but we used Justpark next to Haymarket and it was cheap and only 10 min walk away.

This place is perfect for couples and friends. Rooms are clean and cozy with kitchenette. Place has great vibe with open common space for relaxing, playing or simply hanging out. Staff are nice and friendly. Our room had lovely view of city which made it perfect.
The breakfast as mentioned in the name of property is not available on weekends. However, pantry still has plenty of food. Room service is scheduled so it can't be on your wish day. Need to make sure which day you are in so ask for room service accordingly.

Very warm in the room. The facility itself Airconditioned
6.0 / 10.0
Room was reasonably sized and had good kitchen facilities including fridge, kettle and plates and cutlery and a sink for washing up.
Staff was helpful during our stay.
Good location for central Edinburgh.
No car park at Altido so you have to park at a different location and those car parks can be expensive - so factor this in when considering price as the charges in central Edinburgh are expensive.
The property has a feel of a students accommodation about it albeit a fairly comfortable one, for example there were washing machines and vending machines and what looked like study pods in the main reception area. Let’s call it a “STUTEL”.

Rooms weren’t clean and the bed is too small. No ventilation in rooms.
Breakfast service was terrible and the variety and quality was really poor.
7.0 / 10.0
Very spacious common areas. Staff was helpful.
The room was very basic for the price. The bed was uncomfortable, and the bathroom needs maintenance.

The staff were lovely and accommodating. Free breakfast was handy, and it was walkable/busable to anywhere in Edinburgh.
Media options and WiFi was good also
The room wasn't completely clean (floor and bed). The bed wasn't very comfortable and the room was very bland in comparison to the images
5.0 / 10.0
Very friendly staff and the communal facilities were good
The room had no air conditioning and was really really hot, the accommodation was okay but very expensive for what it included
4.0 / 10.0
The room was spacious and quiet. From the eight floor we also had a beautiful view of the canal. Shower was good with good lighting.
Room was not cleaned. I found hair and debris in the drawers. Lamp on the desk was dusty. Upon arrival there was a distinctive smell of burnt milk in the kitchenette. The larger drape was hanging missing a couple of hooks. My husband fixed it with some effort. Bed was small, uncomfortable and noisy.
In the bathroom the sink was super small and the toilet flush took ages to become quiet after flushing. Light on the bed was only on one side and it was minimal. We moved the desk lamp to the side of the bed that was missing a lamp
Choices at breakfast were minimal. No eggs. Bananas and apples for fruit. Since the hotel is run by students every morning flatware and napkins were in different locations. To find them you needed to go on a treasure hunt.
We also didn't like the long walk to get to the room passing by a common aerea that looks like a study room where we also had our breakfast. The structure is in fact a student dorm rather than a hotel. Quite nice as a dorm. Quite poor as a hotel. One need to use keys to access the elevator. What a bummer!

The overall laidback vibe of the hotel and off course the staff and their 'always smiling' try to help and advise you - thanks guys !
To be really honest: the breakfast was the only disappointing part of the experience: not enough bread, mostly only cheese available for your bread, sometimes not enough plates. It did get better on the final day though...

People working there are lovely
It wasn’t well organized. On our last day, someone walked into our room. The same happened when we arrived, got a key card and when we got to the room, someone’s belongings where there.

Central location, easy to walk to the main sights.
Clean room but trash was not taken out for 4 nights.
The "double" bed could barely fit two people. The breakfast was continental, so pastries and coffee mostly. Some yogurt and 1-2 types of fruit were available. Always a line for the one coffee machine.
4.0 / 10.0
Just the location that was good
No hand wash supplied in the room or shampoo. I had to go out and buy my own. Not ideal especially after the pandemic I would have expected hand wash to be provided. If you got back to the hotel at night ( not even late at 10.30pm) there was nobody on the desk and I had to wait for someone to leave the hotel to let me in. Also when I checked in I left my luggage behind the counter and was told it would be there for me to pick up. It wasn’t it was in a room that I had to find with loads of other bags.

Great location. Rooms were big and shower was lovely.
Bed was extremely uncomfortable.
There were building works going on outside which were really loud from early morning, which I know is not the properties fault but this with the uncomfortable beds meant we didn’t sleep the entirety of our stay

Its clean.
Breakfast is not enough for all the guests. They dont have enough staff to assist their guest during breakfast

Rooms lovely great location 10 min walk to grass market / castle, free breakfast (toast, fruit cereal), free pool table / ping pong and other facilities
Bedding wasn’t once changed in a 5 day stay, asked staff twice and wasn’t ever changed, had to request fresh towels daily and this was also forgotten

Great location. Clan room with kitchen and utensils.
Breakfast left a lot to be desired. Maybe get a second toaster and some butter not flora.

Nice, modern and comfortable. Very spacious which was nice. Friendly, helpful and available staff. Awesome communal facilities down the bottom - lounging, games, reading, washing, the works. Plus hot drink machine - delicious hot chocolates.
Breakfast could have been better - efficiency of restocking, some lengthy wait times. But the food was nice and the staff were very busy so we were still happy
6.0 / 10.0
Nice lounge and building.
There remained a trash bag in front of my room for three days. Inside the room, there was still some stuff that previous visitors had stayed in.

Super fun. The collective space is Excellent
The bathroom is too small. The shower was clogged up. Should renovate the bathrooms immediately.
