Bearing in mind this is student accommodation, I was pleasantly surprised. OK, the rooms are small so you wouldn't want to spend much time in them but we just needed somewhere to crash for the night. For that purpose it was fine but I wouldn't want a week's holiday here.

We had booked a double but found that it was just a single room with a double bed in it so there wasn't much space at all. However, we felt that the furniture could have been re-arranged to create a bit more space. Also the bathroom is a typical student all in one wetroom and once two of you have had a shower in it, it's then pretty wet underfoot if you are trying to use the sink or the toilet

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and it is an ideal location about 10 minutes walk from Waverley station.

Our room was at the front overlooking a cobbled street so traffic noise was quite bad during the night - not a lot of it but what there was was very noisy due to the cobbles and there was traffic all through the night with no quiet period.

Breakfast is served in a separate building next door. There was a choise of cereals, rolls and pastries etc and then a full cooked scottish breakfast. Much better than I had anticipated

Overall for £64 it was good value but I would have to say that if you can get a good deal at the Travelodge/Premierlodge (had we booked early enough there were rooms for £80) then the extra £10 or £15 might be worth it for that little bit extra comfort.

I would definitely stay here again if I just wanted somewhere to crash for a night.

This hotel is a hidden gem in Edinburgh"s Old Town. There is no website for it & it is not mentioned in any guide books I have seen. But what a great find! We stayed in a double room with an adjoining bathroom & shower, & compared to other rooms of the same price ($135.00 per night w/ taxes & fees--can't beat it!) it was quite roomy--it had a desk, several chairs & a wide cupboard. Tea & coffee making facilities were in the room. Breakfast was also a nice bonus--they cook it to order for you & also give you a buffet of continental food to choose from. It's also very close to the Royal Mile. Very nice indeed! I would most definitely book here again.

Good location , less than 10 mins walk from Royal Mile. Rooms basic but comfortable , friendly staff. Breakfast was great - you can have a continental and a fried breakfast if you want. Which is nice...

Room was clean and tidy. The ensuite is a bit on the small side ,more of a wet room but no problems. Bed was cumfy,with clean sheets and pillows. Wardrobe for your clothes and chest of drawers ,plenty of space .Price At £60.00 for a Double room/night (not per person) includes a great breakfast of continental buffet and a cooked breakfast that will set you up for the day.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Restricted parking in the street but free parking a 10 minute walk away at the University car park.
No lifts in the building and you could be on the 4th floor.
The town centre is a short stroll around the corner. You are also not to far from the Park.
It can be noisy but thats down to the less considerate guests rather than the hotel.
All together if you are after an inexpensive trip to Edinburgh try this place out.
Recommended.

This appears to be a converted university halls of residence. The rooms are small, and the en suite facilities are basic but functional. It's cheap, clean, the staff are friendly and breakfast was great in the morning. They also offered free parking about 5 minutes down the road (although there was plenty of spaces available in the metered parking on the street outside). It's on a quiet street, so there's no problem with street noise overnight.

Overall, this was fantastic value for money, and I'd definitely stay there again.
