The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit problematic due to being cold and draughty with a strong allergic dust reaction, but redeemed by an excellent new bathroom and a lovely, spacious, and comfortable bed. The service was a mix of shouty encounters and friendly and attentive interactions. The location was decent, offering proximity to various attractions and amenities. The dining experience was okay, with limited availability and offerings during specific times. Facilities were standard with no standout features.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a few minutes walk from Waverley station, with many eateries nearby. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. However, the room on the 3rd floor was dusty and triggered my allergies, which was a major downside. The dining experience was average, with a basic breakfast. Overall, a mixed experience but the great location and service stood out.

The hotel felt more like a hostel due to the cramped rooms, lack of central heating, and awkward sink setup, but the friendly service and good location were redeeming factors. The dining options were subpar with instant coffee and no decaf tea at breakfast. Overall, the experience was acceptable, but not worth the high price tag.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms were small and cramped, with no central heating and only an electric heater. The layout made it difficult to move around, especially being at a basement level. The tatty decor and awkward sink setup didn't meet the standard for the price charged. The room had three single beds, two pushed together, which was not ideal for a family of four.
Service

The staff were friendly and helpful, with the owner being particularly nice. However, the overall service was not exceptional but decent.
Location

The location was convenient, close to the center and in a nice neighborhood, but being near staff toilets and cleaning equipment was a downside.
Dining

The dining experience was disappointing, with only instant coffee available at breakfast. The advertised amenities were not up to standard, needing repair. However, surprisingly, the food quality was good despite limited options.
Facilities
The hotel facilities need improvement, especially in the dining area. It felt more hostel-like than a hotel in terms of room setup and amenities provided.

The hotel is ideally situated in the city center, making it very convenient for exploring and accessing nearby restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets. The rooms are a bit dated and small, lacking privacy, with a limited time window for breakfast. The service was friendly and accommodating, with a convenient location just 5 minutes from The Playhouse and Edinburgh Waverley station.

The hotel surprised me with its quirky charm but lacked in some areas. The rooms were comfortable enough despite feeling a bit impersonal. Climbing 63 stairs to the 3rd floor with no lift was quite the workout, but at least the amenities like hairdryers and power showers were there for convenience.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms, although not perfectly clean, were comfortable enough but had a touch of impersonal service. The climb to the 3rd-floor room with 63 stairs was a bit exhausting, especially with luggage, but the room had handy features like hairdryers, power showers, and tea/coffee facilities.
Service
