I booked here for one night. My room was so dirty that my feet were black when I washed them in the shower. The small suitcase lift didn’t work. So it was unclean and I would never return. For the price paid - diabolical.

Rachel S. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

The staff were so friendly and patient despite a busy check-in time during Edinburgh Fringe. The hotel is in a fantastic location and I felt safe and happy walking to all of the Fringe venues from there. The breakfast options were great (I’m veggie so can be limited) and my room was spacious with everything I needed. The only thing was there was no view from the window but I could see outside to check the weather before leaving for the day

Dear Rachel, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our fantastic location, which indeed makes it convenient for guests to explore the Edinburgh Fringe and other attractions in the area. We appreciate your kind words regarding our staff.

I had a pleasant experience. The room was comfortable, but the bathroom had an odor to it. That was a little unpleasant, but as long as the door was closed, it was fine.

David W. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Unfortunately the mattress on the bed was the worst I have ever experienced. Very soft with dips either side. This made for a very uncomfortable night's sleep. The staff didn't seem that concerned in the morning when we were checking out. We got back to the hotel room late the night before. Only stayed one night. Both my wife and I woke up with backache and neckache the following day. For the money we paid I expected so much more.

Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We truly appreciate your comments as they provide us with valuable insights into our guests' experiences. We're pleased to hear that you found our location to be convenient, as we're indeed located right in the heart of the city center. However, we regret to learn that your experience with the mattress did not meet your expectations. Comfort is a priority for us, and we understand how crucial a good night's sleep is for our guests. Our reception team is available 24/7, and should we had been given the opportunity to rectify the issue at the time, we could have offered a room move (subject to availability) and ensure your comfort. Our friendly team is well known for their excellent customer service, and it's surprising to hear that they seemed unconcerned once the issue was reported on check-out. Regarding the cost of your stay, we continuously review our pricing to ensure it reflects the value we provide, especially during peak times such as the Fringe Festival. Thank you once again for your feedback. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with an experience we aim to offer.

Esta C. H. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

A very expensive and grubby cupboard in a good location. Had I known it was SO basic, I would never have booked. I am a gold member of Accor, so had no idea that they had such inferior establishments. Apparently this is a budget hotel. Lord help you if you are a person of a certain age - because you are supposed to "scan" on your phone how to do things.. like get the heating on and off ...Their hospitality is a small bottle of Irn Bru and a packet pf crisps. I had to ask for more towels.. and for my shower to be cleaned. There is a very dangerous step between the shower and the room and i fell and banged my head on the luggage rack... I couldn't phone anybody for help... managed it myself eventually. When I told reception of it - they told me I should have booked "an accessible room". How did I know I was going to trip and there was no phone for emergencies in the room. No tissues, no water, no alarm clock, no phone ! Elizabeth , who works there wearing a T shirt that says Welcome Home, tried to help but this is no more than a Hostel.

Dear Esta, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. It is always our priority to ensure that our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and we genuinely regret to learn that this was not the case during your visit. Your concerns regarding cleanliness are duly noted and will be shared with our housekeeping team, as it certainty does not reflect the standards we aim to provide. Please note, our hotel is a 3 Star hotel, and we provide all amenities as per IBIS standards. Additional amenities can be requested in our 24/7 available reception team. We would like to inform you that our reception is always reachable via WhatsUp, or by visiting our reception desk. Should you require any further assistance throughout your stay, it is advisable to inform our team upon check in. We are very disappointed with the issues encountered during your stay, and we are glad to know that Elizabeth was able to assist you once we were given the opportunity to rectify them. We truly value your loyalty with us as a Gold member, and we appreciate all feedback provided as it will help us identify areas for improvement. Should you decide to give us another chance of welcoming you back, we'd love to have the opportunity of providing you with an experience we aim for. Warm regards, Myrto Front Office Supervisor

Really well located and a comfortable room but incredibly loud with a thumping baseline in my room at least until well past 3am when I stayed in August. If you are a light sleeper this is not the place for you.

The location was good but, obviously because of Fringe and other festivals, it was extremely expensive for what we got (or didn't get). No fridge or water, poor drainage in shower, badly positioned power points. Reception staff were lovely, but bar/restaurant staff did not seem very experienced.

Dear Christina, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We appreciate your comments about our central location and the helpfulness of our reception staff. We understand that festival times can lead to higher prices, and we strive to provide value during such busy periods.

Additionally, we do provide a fridge in our reception for medication use only. Your feedback regarding the water drainage and the position of power outlets are duly noted, and will be shared with our team in order to enhance our services.

I got disturbed and woken in the small hours of Wednesday morning. An English sounding lady was shouting and swearing at the top of her voice. This went on for over 30 minutes, surely the staff could have dealt with this quicker. A broken night’s sleep not good.
