Good - 3.5 out of 5

Corinna Mon, 18 November 2024

Good

Liked: The location was fantastic, right near Haymarket train station, lovely restaurant next door, a couple of pubs across the way and a Black Sheep Coffee house. Just two team stops away from central Edinburgh. The staff were extremely friendly, and the facilities were clean.
Disliked: The rooms were a little outdated, the bedroom window wouldn’t keep open more than a jar by itself which was a pain because the radiator was on full blast and wouldn’t switch off, so we had to open the bathroom window and create a flow through, but the bathroom radiator was on full too. Other than that everything else was perfect, would certainly stay again.

Avoid at all costs

Liked: There is nothing to like about this hotel
Disliked: Very dirty, in urgent need of repair and the fact they are using rat repellent devices in clear view in the rooms says a lot. There is no door for the toilet, walls full of holes, electrical cables for TV, and extension leads on the floor. The shower taps literally hang of the wall. I even found a soap bar from the previous guests left in the shower. The shower door literally fell off on my hands. The bed mattress literally had a slope from being very old and very used. Staff were non existing and by a minute only I would have not had where to stay as the only team member was literally walking out of the door as I arrived at 22:01 although there was no mention of the fact that doors get locked at 22:00 and no staff after that on any email or messages. Booking.com needs to remove this dump from their listing's and the local council needs to shut this down. No matter how cheap it is, it is not worth it. I only did not go somewhere else as it was very late and I was tired after a 9 hour drive
