Location, location!
Stayed for the long May day weekend & got a really good deal at this hotel compared to some of the others. The location was perfect for what we were looking (is very central to some great restaurants, clubs, etc) and is a short stroll to where the Airport bus link is situated making for easy and cheap transfers. The staff are all very friendly and we had a lovely receptionist that assisted us with some top attractions to see and was genuinely very helpful. The one thing we were not aware of was the noise, being in a room directly above the courtyard I'd be lying if I said our sleep was not disrupted but this was partly due to the window that did not want to close.. Room was clean and tidy so could not complain in that department. All in all a great weekend, but the noise could definitely turn some people off.

Excellent customer service
Stayed overnight here with my partner. Was slightly alarmed on arrival as I realised the hotel was attached to a pub with very loud music. Customer service was second to none however really lovely people working here. The room overall was nice and clean. One worry I had was that a socket was hanging off the wall and the electrical safety sticker advised it was due to be tested in 2010!Noisy until around 0200 however I understand it is a city centre hotel and it didn't bother me too much. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast is served in the bar attached to the hotel, very good quality Scottish breakfast however not so pleasant was the aroma of a typical bar toilet. Despite the couple of negative points I would probably stay here again

A Park Bench Would Have been preferable!!
This has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, dirty, TV didn't work, half the bulbs out, mould all round the bath, shower so powerful that it was unusable. The carpets were sodden with drink and other things I don't want to think about. Reported TV they said they would sort , but did nothing. I contemplated getting train home again it was so bad. Very Noisy also which I could have lived with if room clean and not like it was about to be demolished

Great base ..
I stayed here last month as I was going to see the Rocky Horror Show at the Playhouse & it was a fab wee hotel. We never got much time here as we had a problem finding parking - Edinburgh is a nightmare! We parked at the Radisson, about a 5 minute walk and it was ¿¿19 for 24 hours parking. I think there is cheaper in conjunction with the hotel but we ran short of time. The hotel has a great courtyard which I can only imagine is great when it is busy! The receptionist was really helpful in organising a taxi for us and made our check in as hassle free as possible. The room was the furthest away room in the hotel which wasn't ideal in our situation but it was ok, 2 comfy beds and a massive bathroom! All in all I would return here & I would recommend it as a good base for a night out in the Capital.

Room and food reasonable, noise not.
Stayed overnight on business and clearly chose the wrong hotel. My room was above a student bar which remained open until 0100hrs making work or sleep impossible. By the time I realised the extent of the problem it was too late to do anything about it. What I found so incomprehensible was that staff must surely be aware of the difficulty but failed to mention it or ask if it would be problematic on check in.It may be that other rooms are better although the building seems to contain two bars and discussion with other guests from other parts of the hotel suggested similar complaints.Room reasonably well appointed and clean. Food was good but won't be staying there again, despite cheap rate.
