It was the best stay during my UK trip so far. The location being central to all the activities I wanted to do, their breakfast being superb, the kindness during any request I made and the cleanliness of the room. It was perfection the whole time. I’m so pleased.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: -Location is amazing. Within walking distance of a lot of great things. -Cheap Cons: -Floors are a bit dirty. No fan in bathroom means all smells linger. -Could not do early check in. When I went to my room there was the strong smell of poop, meaning it wasn't cleaned well or someone just pooped in the bathroom. -Staff varied. Some staff was helpful and friendly, other staff was weirdly rude. -Cheap feeling. Had the delux room and was near identical to my friends regular room save for the better wifi. Overall - a cheap option in a great location, but it does feel cheap and hospitality is hit or miss.

The location is perfect! The hotel is in the center of all the attractions, and even walkable from the train. However, cleanliness needs to improve. We received dirty towels several times. The room should have been dusted, too.

Hotel is perfectly located on Princes Street with plenty to see and do within walking distance. The front staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast which I purchased a couple of mornings was great value with 2 kids. The room itself was disappointing- while the bed was very comfortable, the room was very basic and grubby.
