Clean, comfortable and good location
Pros:

Good location, staff were lovely, especially the lady doing breakfast. Room was comfortable. Need to know this is a pub, so expect loud music until late at the weekends.

Cons:

No hot water, so ended up having cold showers. Difficult to find staff during the day, other than in the bar.

Avoid if you want a good nights sleep.
Pros:

Stayed for 2 nights, in room 2, mattress was horrible felt springs coming through, not comfortable at all. Room was okay, TV, tea/coffee okay size however the noise from the pub was ridiculous they didn’t stop till 11pm and was like sleeping in the bar. It’s more a pub than accommodation with only 6 rooms so it’s like an after thought.

Pros:

It was very clean, all staff very good

Cons:

The bed was very uncomfortable, mattress very springy , with twanging noise ever time you moved. No bath mat in the bathroom, and wash basin very slow to drain. Breakfast was very disappointing and very pricey for what you got .

This hotel does not belong on your portfolio,
Pros:

Nothing really
I advise people not to stay, the Ship on next door a lot better

Cons:

The overall appearance is very scruffy, it was very cold as the heating was not turned on and in March you need it as very cold in Edinburgh. No breakfast offered and was told that they don’t serve it anymore, the bar area looked like a home for the unemployed.
