I stayed here in 2007 with my husband, it was lovely. I love edinburgh at the best of times, but this hotel made our weekend better. There was entertainment on downstairs in the bar and it was only around 10mins walk into the main town full of things to do. It's a bit out the way of the train station... More

The staff here are excellent, very helpful and friendly. We arrived to find that our booking, through a third party, was messed up. No problem to the receptionist, who soon sorted things out. The room was comfy and clean, though in need of some redecoration. The bed was really comfy. Even though there were 2 discos on in the hotel,... More

This hotel is above a very popular Edinburgh nightclub so if you like going to bed early or are a light sleeper do not book in, otherwise I would highly recommend it for a hen/stag party. I went with my friends for my 60th birthday and we could not believe how friendly everyone was. It was Halloween so the club... More

A disgustingly filthy hotel. Bedclothes stained with previous guests bodily fluids, threadbare carpets soaked with dried-in alcohol, mould and mildew in every corner. I have washed all my clothes three times since my return and they still smell of damp. It's an appalling place, it should be instantly shut down by Health and Safety. I would not touch anything in...

Also every night music blaring until 3:00am and people shouting no double glazing so can here everything some of the old shutter... More

The brawling blokes yelling at the big-screen soccer matches in the the courtyard entrance to this hotel are the first clue. The torn carpet, stained ceiling, moldy windowsills and bathroom tiles, stolen light bulbs, melted hairdryer, and non-working phone and television were further ones. Don't overlook the sign at the entrance that advertises "Disco until 3 a.m.!" They aren't kidding.... More
