The hotel had a mix of experiences, with comfortable rooms and decent service but some issues with the location and dining options. Rooms were a bit cramped but bright and had what we needed, while the bathroom was consistently clean. The service was clear but not very attentive, lacking a personal touch for the price paid. The location was central, albeit a bit of a trek, with some cleanliness concerns. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with limited options and room for improvement. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel had a friendly atmosphere but was dirty and not fully secure. However, it provided an unfinished experience. The service was nice overall, with a few moments of rudeness. The location was great for exploring with easy access to the city center. The dining experience was a bit iffy, with overpriced options. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is in a beautiful location near all the most interesting attractions of Edinburgh. The rooms are generally clean, warm, and cozy, but there were some stray hairs on the duvet covers and it can get a little stuffy at night if the window isn't left open. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff and various amenities available. The dining experience was lacking, with sparse options and not very appealing dishes. The hotel facilities were adequate, though the stairs looked a bit worn.

The hostel is big, clean, and everything in Edinburgh is big and clean, so no wonder this hostel would be the same. However, rooms were a bit small with 2 triple beds and no AC, making it hot and stinky in summer. The noise from loud closing doors in the hallway affected sleep quality.

I was quite satisfied with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were very spacious and clean, offering a comfortable environment. However, the room setup with 10 beds and only one toilet could be improved. The staff were friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location was convenient, providing easy access to transportation options. The dining experience was lacking in variety and seemed overpriced for the quality. Despite that, overall, it was a decent hotel.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but surprisingly quiet and extremely clean and tidy. The service was still amazing, although there was a minor confusion during check-out. The location is excellent for the city center, and the dining experience, while good, could offer more variety. Overall, a great value for what I needed.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The location was great, close to the city center, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. However, the room was very small for six people, and the lack of regular bin emptying was a downside. The dining options were decent but could use improvement in terms of variety.

The hotel has a good 9-bedroom room concept, although the rooms are really dirty and too hot. The service from the receptionist and bartender was very friendly and welcoming. The location is convenient, close to Dean Village and within walking distance to the city center. Despite the kitchen closing, the free dining option with super helpful staff was appreciated. Overall, there are positive aspects to the hotel, but it needs improvement in cleanliness and room temperature control.
