Bearable, but empty cigarette packs left in the drawers, previous occupant's mmmm unflushed in toilet, just generally didn't want to touch anything in the room because it looked so dirty. Very small room, a bit of a hike into town, but not too out of the way (half way down Leith Walk). To be fair, the bathroom was quite new,... More

As soon we pulled up outside I could tell it wasn't going to be fab. Very dated looking. We had 2 single rooms on the top floor. One was bright but the other quite dark and a bit pokey. The bedding was clean and the bathroom was fine. Just remember if you are on the top floor and showering early... More

Booked in for 3 nights expecting budget accommodation but the skips and rubbish in the garden along with the unwashed curtains, and very shabby interior was not quite what I had hoped for. Had we not stupidly paid in advance we would have made a very sharp exit. The bed linen was clean and the bathroom also. The breakfast served... More

Well after reading the reviews I wasnt too enthusiastic about staying here but I was on a budget and this was the cheapest place i could find (£77 for 2 nights). When i got there the receptionist was helpful and directed me to my room. I was down in the basement and there were a lot of stairs to get... More

Okay, so for the amount I paid for the room (£22!) I wasn't expecting luxury. And indeed, the woodchip wallpaper in the room wasn't hip hop style. But the room was clean, the bed was comfy, and it was £22 well spent. If you're looking for romance and escapism, I'd advise elsewhere - but if all you need is a... More

I stayed at the hotel and my first impression was that it was pretty clean. There was building work happening but this was during the day. I didn't really inspect the room when I arrived as I just left my bags and went in to Edinburgh. On my return in the evening I noticed that there were ants all over... More

The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The bathroom was nice with a great shower. The place is a bit dreary with no communal areas and after we were given our key we weren't shown to our room - surprising for a small B&B. They turn the heating off during the day anyway so this is not a... More
