Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Mattress felt like it was 20 years old! Could squeeze both sides of the mattress together, could feel the bed base when sat on the mattress and could feel the springs when laying on it, both beds in the room were the same and I was offered an alternate room but the mattress had exactly the same issue. Ended up sleeping on top of 2 double duvets folded in half and a thick mattress topper to make my night vaguely comfortable and bearable. Will certainly not be staying here for my next trip to Edinburgh. The Premier Inn next door was far more comfortable, you didn't get any noise from the road and was actually slightly cheaper

Great, maybe a little less accessible which wasn't a problem for me, it seemed like the hotel has air-conditioning for only half the rooms, which I thought was odd.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
There were a lot of steps up and down to get to our room not good for elderly people. There was only one bedside cabinet so had to use the floor and hence there was no reading light on one side. Also, the shower was too small if you are elderly or have limited mobility or indeed are overweight. We did pass our comments on to reception when checking out.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel good for a reasonably priced stay. On a busy road though, with trams and buses going by, so try to get room away from the front of the Hotel.
