The receptionist, Anna, was extremely helpful and gave great recommendations. We arrived at 8am and asked to store our baggage but instead they checked if our room was available and let us put our stuff in our room. The bed was super comfortable. The hot breakfast was tasty, a little small, but very good. I would not have paid extra for it, but I was happy the breakfast was included in our booking.

Room/bathroom was very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable! Great location, about 10-15 walk to attractions and centre! Was very happy with the breakfast - options of hot and cold food. Comfortable seating and friendly staff. The reception and cleaning staff were fantastic! Very friendly and helpful - stored our luggage no problem and the cleaning staff went above and beyond.

Rooms were extremely small with only room for one desk chair, so no relaxation unless you sat on the bed, which was not easy as the window restricted the height of a headboard. TV reception was poor in both of the rooms we saw, with only a few freeview channels available. The reception was combined with student check in to apartments. There was a room in the hotel building that could have housed a separate hotel reception. No lifts.
Breakfast was excellent and the location was OK if you don't mind being in the middle of a very multicultural university student-land. Very clean and well maintained.

Considering it was only around 13 degrees Celsius while we were here, the room was very hot & stuffy at night even though we left our window open all day, and no way to cool it down. Lots of noise from delivery lorries which woke us at around 5am each morning, and noise from ventilation units outside 24/7.
Great location, only a few minutes walk to the centre of the old town and all the attractions. Bed was very big and very comfortable, along with a good size powerful shower. A great choice and variety of food for breakfast, have as much or as little as you want. All the staff we had interaction with were very friendly and chatty. No noise from neighbouring rooms at all, but could hear people in the corridor and closing room doors occasionally. Overall a great place to stay for a short break close to the centre of Edinburgh!

Room a bit noisy with early morning deliveries to the Sainsbury's behind. Carpet had not been hoovered and so there were crumbs and plastic bits from bottles etc. on floor. Breakfast a bit disappointing (e.g. poached eggs not runny, only decaf coffee was freeze-dried sachets...)
Room was comfy and bright, and breakfast staff were lovely.

Room was quite small even did not find a place for putting our suitcases. I think hotel needs to concern get lift as we had some difficulties when we carried all our suitcases to 3rd floor:( That was the worst thing related with our accommodation at hotel.
Breakfast was quite nice! I would strongly suggest that hotel ONLY for breakfast!
