Given the location, I knew the room would be small, but it was much smaller then expected. Very little storage. The bathroom is very small and the toilet is inches from the wall. Not easy to use. Also, the parking garage is a good 1/4 mile away down and inconvenient..

If you’re looking for a place that is close to everything including the Royal Mile, this is it. However, be prepared for zero sleep. It is so loud and noisy all the time. People in the square were yelling all night long. 5 am ppl were still out screaming and yelling making it very difficult to sleep. The rooms are clean but very tiny. The toilet was so close to the wall that someone taller than 6 “ will not fit. The beds are very soft and if you have to sleep on the pull out couch bed, it’s short and feet will hang off the end and the mattress is uncomfortable. The rooms and hotel itself are so hot that you can’t cool down. At one point our room was so stuffy even with the windows open which was hard to improve with zero air movement. If you want a place that has air conditioning this is not it. Even a fan would have been nice to move the air. The staff were friendly which is nice to experience but that’s about it for this place.

The hotel staff was amazing! We had a fast and smooth check in/out. You also can’t beat the location. It’s central to absolutely everything. With that, it was incredibly difficult to sleep at night with all of the noise (recycling glass collection and foot traffic all night long). With no AC, we had to keep the windows open for cool air and unfortunately our window seemed like a heavily traveled road for late night transit. It was loud! The room was clean and comfortable for the most part but could definitely use some stronger water pressure in the shower.

No AC, they have a “swamp cooler”, and remember you are near pubs, so it can be quite loud at night, overall a good, clean place and on the royal mile.
