Pros:

Location was good

No breakfast available, no toiletries in bathroom that was mouldy round the shower. No working wifi in room, very noisy fans/air conditioning from downstairs. Bed was ridiculously too soft.

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.

Excellent solution for an overnight stay.
Pros:

Warm comfortable room. Lovely bathroom. Great central location.

Cons:

Essentially a pub/event space which also has rooms. Got keys from the bar. Offhand rather than welcoming. Left to own devices largely. Could do with more staff. A pity because rooms were very nice.

Would not recommend and very bad value for money.
Pros:

Central location for the event we were attending.

Cons:

The rooms are very small and cold. I had to go and ask about the heating at 6.30 on a January night to be told it was on a timer and that they would put it on boost…surely the timer needs to be set earlier. The bed was very uncomfortable, old sunk mattresses. And although the bathroom seemed recently fitted there was an unacceptable amount of black mould in the shower.

It was ideal for the one night stay we required.
Pros:

The room was small, but clean and tidy. The en suite bathroom was well appointed although the toilet needed to be flushed a couple of times. The shower worked well.

Cons:

The service in the restaurant was slow, we had to wait a long time for our meal even though the restaurant was not busy. The food was very good though.

Cons:

I stayed here during a night with temperatures at minus seven degrees. There was no heating in my room. The room stayed cold the entire night and I could not sleep. No one was at the reception and no one answered the phone. This made the stay uncomfortable and unsafe. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.
