I have stayed before . The Hotel is a bit old fashioned but the rooms are very clean ,and warm in winter . Ask for the large room on first floor over the entrance( Windsor?) . It has a 4 poster bed! The Hotel is in a great location on the bus route to and from the airport . there are excellent restraunts close by and an excellent Victorian style pub opposite called Ryries with a great selection of beers

at the moment the Hotel can only accept cash due to fraud.

The reviews that give this hotel less than 5☆ must either be very pickie or after a discount For the price we paid and so near the centre we've no complaints whatsoever the room was spotless the staff couldn't have been any more obliging anything we asked for we got Transport into the city centre is on your doorstep literally 30 second to bus train tram or taxi stops A big bonus was all the eateries within 2 to 3 mins I highly recommend the Argentinian steak house" Los Amigos" literally across the road Falls we can say is DONT believe the review find out for yourselves what a great little hideaway this hotel is

The room itself had a wetroom ,staff,clenliness, location to eateries and pubs , and convenience to transport links into town.

This is a clean, comfortable and fantastic value hotel in the city centre. The communication from the host prior to my arrival was very good and also very friendly. The person who checked me in was very kind. The hotel is just across the road from Haymarket train station and the tram goes right past the front door, so it's very easy to go to the airport, or into Princes Street or on to Leith Shore. I stayed in December and it was lovely and cosy. It was also very quiet, I wasn't disturbed by any noises at all in my room. I had the choice of a room without a window with en suite, or a room with a window with a private external bathroom. I chose the room with en suite and really, the lack of a window was no issue for me at all. Key card access was very easy to use and I felt safe as a solo traveller. Great value, I would definitely stay here again.

The mattress was very soft, but that wouldn't put me off staying again.

The room was decent, clean and had comfy beds. Clean bathroom and nice hot shower. Good location for transport and shops. TV worked. Pleasant staff and it was nice that we could leave our bags at reception after checkout.

Would have been nice if water provided for the kettle or drinking water tap for guests to use. We had to wait till 10am for the staff/ housekeeper to return, to be able to leave our bags with the staff, whilst we went to the city. We had initially planned to leave before 9am

We stayed on the ground floor room was a really big room, the check in was easy, the guy that worked there was lovely couldn’t do enough for us, we appreciated that after hours of travelling, he even made the pull out bed for us. The main bed was huge and just had a new mattress so was so comfortable even sharing with a toddler, I hardly knew he was there he was so far away. Definitely staying again when visiting family.

The carpet needed a clean in the room.

Excellent location. A few steps away from Haymarket Station. A little pricey for what it is but then again hotels in Edinburgh are generally pricey. Staff was accomodation although there is no one after 10. The hotel is an old building but the room was clean despite that it looks dingy from the outside. I like how secure the hotel is at night.

I didn't like that the front garden looks unkempt. Gives the hotel a dingy feel. A bit of reno would greatly help.

This is a fantastic hotel in a central location right beside tram and train station. Lots of amenities on the hotels doorstep. Staff are very friendly and helpful, couldn’t have done more for me. The shabby chic style of the room created a home from home feel. The duck tape used to decorate the room gave a kinky Berlin vibe in the heart of Edinburgh. Don’t hesitate to book this fabulous hotel. Ideal for honeymooners and families with young children.

Loved it all.

Hotel is perfectly located. Literally in front of the Haymarket station. (If you are arriving to Edinburgh by train, Haymarket station is one stop before (we arrived from England). So better to get off at Haymarket rather than at Waverly. Room was clean and as shown in pictures. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There are no stairs but staff took the luggage to the room.

The only problem we faced was with the bathroom door. It couldn't be locked from inside. Would like the hotel to look into this.

Really good location, walking distance from city center, has all the most important buses going nearby plus train station. Clean and good beds.

The devor was a bit outdated but not a deal breaker. No table in the room at all so made it hard to have a place to eat or write at. Only had one really narrow table where you had the kettle etc. But even if there was space there weren't any chairs.

The bedroom (windsor suite) was enormous with a four poster bed that was very comfortable. Bathroom was big too. The hotel is located opposite Haymarket Station and therefore excellent for getting around. The hotel has no amenities: no breakfast, no bar and the staff leave by 10pm. The decor is dated and the bathroom tap was a little wonky. But it is charming in an old school way. And you won't get a bedroom like it for the money anywhere else. Also there is a bar next door at the Scots Guards Club and the Haymarket area is full of great pubs, restaurants and cafes. I'd happily book again.

The bathroom could do with a bit of attention: a sink tap came off in my hand, the shower door doesn't close properly, the loo flush handle clangs against the cistern.
