Pros:

The room was spacious and quiet. The beds were comfy. The location was very good - we were able to walk into town and found some restaurants nearby. The proprietors responded quickly to our request for extra pillows and fresh tea cups.

Cons:

The breakfast was cold items only although we could make toast and coffee was available. There was no protein except for yoghurt. The water pressure in the shower was poor. The pillows were very flat and uncomfortable.

Pros:

The excellent location. The porter kindly carried my suitcase up to the top floor as I was tired. Lovely clean hotel. Breakfast arrangements were a bit odd but manageable. I would definately stay here again though.

Cons:

Even though the breakfast was delivered to my room. I had to tramp down three flights of stairs to get the milk for my breakfast and go back up to my room. Also the breakfast list had to be handed in by 10pm which meant another ardous journey if you forgot to hand it in before you left for the day. A small fridge in the bedroom would be better.

This place felt more like an upgraded hostel than a hotel to us.
Pros:

I agree with comments made by many previous posters. On the plus side, the hotel is in a super location for exploring the centre of Edinburgh and the price is reasonable given the location. It has a very nice lounge for guests. Our room was quiet, a little "tired," but it had everything we needed and the bathroom was fine. The bed was very comfortable. On the downside, there is no staffed reception desk and there are a lot of posted notes telling you what you may and may not do while in the hotel. Rooms are on three upper floors with no elevator, so you might have quite a climb to your room. However, the biggest disappointment for us was the breakfast. We found it quite bizarre. As others have mentioned, guests are asked to fill out a form the evening before, choosing up to 10 breakfast items from a list. A bag with our chosen items was left outside our room door at 10pm each night. We got the sense that this protocol had been put in place during Covid and just never changed. Everything about the breakfast was mass produced, prepacked and "disposable." It was OK but felt cheap and a bit sad We would probably have rated this hotel more highly if there had simply been no breakfast "service." If you want a comfortable night's sleep near the centre of Edinburgh, this hotel will fit the bill but you might want to plan on eating breakfast somewhere else.
