Please please please do not waste your money staying here! It is absolutely revolting. No amenities whatsoever. Half a diluted bottle of soap at the sink but no shower gel etc. Mould everywhere. Dust everywhere. I was over charged as the woman on reception said I needed to pay for the booking and after spending 8 hours in the car I paid it. Only realising when we got to the room that I had already pre paid through Expedia. Took 3 days to get them to refund me after threatening legal action the money appeared in my account immediately. Funny that!
To top it all off we left with bed bug bites! Please whatever you do, don’t spend your money with this hotel. Currently still working through Resolver to try and get my money back for this shocking stay!

This property is like a student doss house - no service and you have to work out how to access your room. The good think was the bus service into Edinburgh and the WiFi.
One word sums the place up AWFUL. Inhospitable, dingy, the room was far from clean and the wallpaper was peeling in places. The bathroom was tiny and dirty and there was mould growing in the corners of the shower. I wouldn't touch the place a gain with a barge pole and would recommend that others keep away
The place appears ok. No toiletries whatsoever. Very dusty. Carpet on stairs out of rails and could cause an accident. Terrible handwritten notes everywhere. If this hadn’t been paid with 1 reward night I would complain more
BEDBUGS!!!! Incompetent management. You had to go outside and ring them if you wanted to talk. Answer was: Give me 20 minutes. Window broken and they would not fix. It rained and got my stuff wet. NO furniture other than bed with lousy mattress. I felt every spring in it. A nightmare. THEY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.
It was in a nuce area. The room had dirty walls leaky toilet no plug in sink the tv arieal was faughty no milk yhe garden/smoking area grass was long with broken slabes broken beds rubbish in the corners gapping holes in doorway with large pipes sticking out
Toilet seat loose. Only one fixing. No bedside light, even after asking. Waste bin almost overflowing. When asked to empty NOT DONE!! On second day no provision of tea bags or coffee. Cups NOT CLEANED!!! Shower Cabinet NOT CLEAN!!!! General appearance of property run down with a lot of painting required. Our room not remotely like illustrated.Curtain rails required fixing. Only one pillow had pillowcase. The other spare pillows HAD NONE!!
Would NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. No provision for disabled. No handrail at front doorstep.
POSITIVES: Lady( Owner? ) did carry our two bags up two flights of stairs which as a disabled person was appreciated.
The bedding was clean and ironed.
Will report these facts to the tourist board.
Why was Expedia involved
Propert was a bit run down. Wall papers pealing from the wall. Windows not closing properly. No tea facilities on the toon. Fell more like a rundown hostel to be honest.
