Guest sentiment
- Cleanliness5.5
Mixed comments: several guests said rooms and bathrooms were clean and functional, but multiple reviews noted poor drainage, a leaking vent, and at least one report of unsatisfactory cleanliness and dated fittings, so cleanliness is below average.
- Service7.5
Generally positive: staff described as friendly and helpful with useful local tips; one case of slow resolution (TV fixed partially after 3 days) lowers the score slightly but overall service is a strength.
- Location8.0
Consistently praised: close to bus links, good access to Edinburgh city centre, pleasant park nearby and quiet neighbourhood—location is a clear positive.
- Room Quality6.0
Mixed: some guests found rooms cosy and comfortable, others described tiny, dated or unrenovated rooms (1980s), warm attic rooms and basement rooms—average-to-slightly-below-average room quality.
- Amenities5.5
Several amenity problems reported: non-working TV and Wi‑Fi in some rooms, shower issues, no AC in attic rooms, limited parking. Although basic amenities exist (microwave access), reliability is an issue.
- Value for Money6.0
Mixed perceptions: a few guests felt the price-quality ratio was good, others felt it was not good value given room condition and amenity issues, so value is slightly below neutral.
- Food and Beverage6.5
Hardly mentioned directly; one guest recommended a nearby café for breakfast. No major positives or negatives about hotel F&B, so assigned the target/neutral score.
- Overall Experience7.0
Overall impression is mixed-positive: many guests appreciate location, cosy feel and helpful staff, but recurring maintenance and amenity issues (showers, leaks, TV/Wi‑Fi) reduce satisfaction; net experience slightly above target.
Guest reviews
The room was clean beds were so comfortable. Complementary tea and coffee that was replenished each morning with housekeeping. The shower was huge with good water pressure. Was even able to store our luggage after checking out as our flight was later in the evening. Great value for money.

On entendait trop les voisins de chambre du haut parler très fort à partir de 1h du matin et le bruit du plancher et de la douche, on n'a pas pu dormir.
La possibilité de changer de chambre pour ne pas monter les escaliers. Personnel arrangeant et aimable. Chambre pas très grande et propre mais c'est suffisant pour une nuit. Salle de bains très propre. Les matelas très confortables. Vue sur le jardin, le matin on a pu voir les écureuils !
