Well I stayed before the renovations, but it was OK. And like someone else on here said you can get really good deals through websites like laterooms. I got a room for £40 a night which is not bad for a place in walking distance to all the major sites in Edinburgh (plus it has the airport transfer bus stopping outside!).

The breakfast was nice, the staff helpful and the room clean. I wouldn't have paid the rate on the notice in the lobby (£99 per night, I think) but assuming that you're visiting the city and not the hotel then I'd recommend it at £40 per night!
