My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were noisy and the sheets on the bed were paper-thin, but they had a cute and clean feel with a home away from home ambiance. The state of the room was disappointing, with cracks on walls, holes on doors, and various damages. The location was convenient for accessing the city center, although not the best. The service was friendly, and the dining experience, although good, could have offered more variety on the menu.

The hotel is in a good spot with easy access to the city center by bus but further away than expected. The rooms were clean but smaller than anticipated.

The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms, overlooking the kitchen and with a few maintenance issues like a non-working heating system and limited lighting, were just about okay for us and our daughter. The service had some perks like a good breakfast and proximity to bus stops, but the staff's behavior at breakfast was not the best. The location was convenient with free parking and easy access to the city center and Leith. However, there were noise issues with extractor fans. The dining experience was average with limited options despite conflicting information about the closing time. The hotel lacked impressive facilities, yet it was a decent stay overall at a reasonable price.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the room I stayed in was in a disappointing state, with cracks on the walls, stains on the duvet, and a broken mirror. The noise from traffic outside made it hard to relax, and the view overlooking the kitchen wasn't pleasant.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the bright side, the room was spacious and very clean, but it felt a bit dated and cramped. The constant smell of fish and chips from the kitchen lingered due to poor ventilation. The service was a mix of friendly staff and some difficulties like food running out during breakfast and unhelpful attitudes at times. The location was a bit tricky to find initially, but once settled, it was convenient for getting around the city. The dining experience offered a continental-style meal, which was decent but nothing extraordinary. The facilities were sufficient but nothing exceptional.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms; however, the abundance of furniture and smelly carpet were minor drawbacks. The service was super friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. The location, although initially confusing, turned out to be conveniently close to the historical center. The dining experience was subpar, with a disappointing breakfast. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel's rooms, while not aesthetically pleasing, were still comfortable. However, they were dirty, poorly lit, noisy from the street, had unclean sheets, and lacked toilet paper. The actual rooms looked very different from the advertised pictures. They seemed outdated and in need of renovation. We paid €160 for a two-night stay with basic continental breakfast, feeling that better value could have been found elsewhere; however, the proximity to the city center was a plus.

The hotel location is ideal for easy access to the city center and Leith, with excellent shopping nearby. The rooms were adequate, clean, and fairly quiet despite needing a bit more airflow. The service was courteous overall, but the breakfast experience left much to be desired. The dining options were not the best, with some value concerns. However, the easy bus ride to the city center makes up for these shortcomings.
