Everything I Needed

Liked: Great location

Exceptional

Would not stay here again,...

Liked: Beautiful outside areas.
Disliked: The rooms are not soundproof at all and we could hear doors closing and people rolling their luggage down the hall all night. Then at 7am in the morning someone was playing music in the hall and the housekeeper knocked on our door around 9am to see if we had checked out yet- we were trying to get some sleep! And check out it at 10:30am and not 12pm like the booking.com listing stated. We were exhausted. I had additional nights booked and I tried to cancel but it was too late. They gave us a new room for the next night but there was quite a bit of mold in the shower. Exhausting.

Pleasant

Liked: Bed and blanket is tiny. Pillow is old. Others everything good.
Disliked: Bed and blanket and pillow

Good value option to stay...

Liked: Relatively good value during the Fringe festival, right on the doorstep of Holyrood Park / Arthur's Seat, staff at 24/7 reception very friendly and helpful, big generous breakfast, comfortable enough room (a student dorm room) with a sink in the room and shared bathrooms.
Disliked: The dorm room block I was in didn't have any kitchen facilities which was surprising. On a warm day, the room can stay fairly warm without a fan, although the window staying open helped.

Liked: Location was perfect. Easy to find.

Bring your earplugs and a...

Liked: Breakfast was the highlight. Amazing buffet with lots of choices. Location is 2 miles away from the Royal Mile which for us was a good walking distance. Facilities were basic but had everything we needed. Bed was firm and comfy.
Disliked: Noisy - bring your earplugs and your own pillow. Was clean if you don’t look under the bed. We stayed for three nights. Two nights were fine, but the final night was very noisy with a group of school students and we could hear every word of the people next door to us. The walls are paper-thin and banging doors kept us awake all night.
