Decent and inexpensive hotel
Pros:

A bit out from the centre, but very easy access to main bus routes into the city centre taking about 15-20 mins (and out to the airport). Got a good sized room on 1st floor, clean and plenty of space, but facing onto the main road which has a bit of traffic noise. Helpful staff at checkin and breakfast. Some building/refurbishment work going on during the day. Slightly old-fashioned appearance, but some updates have been done more recently, like USB charging points near the beds.

Non merci, plus jamais !
Pros:

Peu de choses

Cons:

Personnel d’accueil assez désagréable, aucune aide pour porter des lourdes valises. Refus de garder nos bagages lors d’une excursion de 24 h dans les Highlands. Avant dû nous rabattre sur une bagagerie privée.

Bien passé
Pros:

Hôtel calme, personnel agréable

Cons:

Le cabinet de toilette très petit, chauffage d appoint car le chauffage ne marchait pas, la lumière au dessus du lit ne fonctionnait pas. Le petit déjeuner pas très copieux pour le prix payé. Hôtel cher pour le niveau de qualité

Pros:

Локация, беше точно до спирката, от която да си хванеш автобус до центъра или до летището. Хотела е с много автентична атмосфера , а стаите са изключително големи

Cons:

Беше много студено в стаите, въпреки, че работеше парно, но пък в банята беше топло

Handy if you don't expect a lot
Pros:

Location for getting into the city was ideal, free parking on the side street, leave the car and hop on the 26 or 31 bus with a day ticket, we can't all afford a euro 6 vehicle. Also a great location for events at Murrayfield.

Cons:

Continental breakfast choices were very limited for the price, could do with more cold meats, cheeses, fruit, etc, croissants were cheap items from supermarket and limited in number

Okay.
Pros:

Stayed here before and it was great. This time a different room, noisier, more traffic noise and really didn't sleep well. Also the sink in the bedroom not the bathroom one leaked. Just didn't live up to my previous experience. Last time stayed 2 nights and was actually glad this time that it was only 1 night. However still a very convenient place near to airport.

Cons:

Plumbing and the window in bedroom had some gapping and hence more traffic noise.

Good quality for money
Pros:

Breakfast was limited but tasty. Rooms were adequate but they do not make the beds or clean the rooms while your stay. Personnel was very kind though.

Good
Pros:

Nice and basic, did the job. Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere close to the city but not in the city centre. Great transport links

Cons:

The shower kept switching between too hot and cold and it was chilly at night.
