Central Hotel  

Really beautiful hotel and connecting bar/restaurant. Very convenient location, was somewhere I genuinely enjoyed staying in after a long day of sightseeing, strongly recommend this hotel, absolutely fantastic value for money

close to city centre

The room is not bright enough, which makes it like a hunted house. There is dirt on the wall of the shower room.

The location of this hotel was perfect for anybody wanting to visit the castle and the old quarter, also great for walkers as close to Holyrood Park. Close to plenty of good restaurants and pubs, also only 15 mins walk to Waverley train station and the main bus station which give you great access to the rest of Scotland. Mainly for a younger crowd but also very good for young minded mature couples.

The only problem that we had with this hotel was the cleanliness of our room, the hotel is quite scruffy but this didn't matter to us. But, the room was extremely damp and this had not been cleaned off the window or ledge surround, it was just covered by a blind to hide it. They just need to address the cleanliness of the place. Sheets and towels were clean, good shower.

Quick to accommdate and friendly. Everything was as expected.

It wasn't the cleanest of hotels, but we booked in a hurry so we really did not mind.

The reception staff

The carpet and curtains were dated

The shower facility in the room was good.the location was good.

The room was freezing as radiator was broken also the draft coming from window was unbelievable.the beds were so uncomfortable and the towels were like cardboard.it was that cold in the room that we actually had to sleep in our clothes.when it was brought to attention of staff about the radiator been broken nothing was done to help us out not even extra duvet or blanket for beds

The location is very convenient in the city center of Edinburgh. I would recommend it to younger people who come to go out a lot though, as it is next to a bar called Three Sisters, so it might get louder and also it is located in Cowgate, where you will find many bars and clubs.

The hotel needs some refurbishments, as for example the wallpaper was coming down and there was some mould in the bathroom. If one is not so picky about that and just wants a cheap accommodation for a short stay it will be okay.

The staff were friendly, the location was excellent. The three sisters pub was a good pub to sit in and its proximity to the hotel was outstanding.

The rooms were a bit outdated, my room in particlular needed a coat of paint as there were marks on the walls (304) and my friends room was tiny with no shampoo or showergel. My room also did not lock which I reported to the hotel reception but nothing was done about it

Centrally located, friendly staff, inexpensive, nice new bathroom.

The room was a bit run down, the floors were not really clean, and the bed was really not comfortable, which is a shame as the hotel has a very nice location, price and staff.

Location / quite cheap

If its a 3 star hotel it was ok

The staff (two girls on reception) were friendly and accommodating when I arrived too early for check in. They stored my bags which gave me a few hours to explore the city and get my bearings prior to checking in and freshening up. Likewise on checking out they stored my bag again and they again stored my bag allowing me to be free to explore again while waiting for my flight. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends wishing to visit edinburgh

Tv in room didn't work but didn't really need to use it anyway so no biggie

I have travelled south east Asia, India, Bangladesh, Turkey etc., and stayed in budget hotels,but I have never stayed in a hotel as dirty as this. I would not normally be the type of person to review a hotel but I felt compelled to report how dirty this hotel was. The bedspread had dirt crusting on it. The bedroom floor hadn't even been hoovered, or the bin emptied since the previous guests. I would avoid this place at all costs, a hostel would be a better choice if you are on a budget.

Pleasant staff. Affordable. Great location.

It's not luxury but it stands up to the value for certain. The only gripe I would say is there was a slight damp smell to the room. Nothing too off-putting but I think a quick spray of air freshener would have been a nice idea. Otherwise would certainly stay here again.
