Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our suite here was amazing. Tons of space, beautiful soaker tub, and overall, we had such a wonderful time here. It was nice to have the couch and table and chairs for sitting and the mini fridge was great for keeping some snacks. Would absolutely recommend. The only small downfall was the Holyrood suite faces the street on the first floor and with our window open to keep it cool at night it was a bit loud for such a quiet area. We absolutely loved the location. Walking distance to the main heart of the city but just outside so it was quiet and away from crowds. Dozens of fast food and dining places. Would stay here again.

Good value accommodation

Pleased overall with our stay. Ensuite was rather 'tight' but plenty of hot water and toiletries. Large double bed was a bit too soft for us. Overall well situated with easy access to the city with an excellent bus service. A big bonus was the free parking.

Old and dirty hotel.

Run down and dirty. The matress was sunken so badly that I felt like sleeping on a tub. Got up with very bad back pain. Definitely not worth the money.

The hotel is in a good location in south Edinburgh, with car parking and frequent buses into the centre. The rooms are fine - as expected at this price. The staff are polite and helpful.
