"PROS: Clean, neat, staff are amazing, literally impossible to get closer to the convention center. CONS: Tiny rooms, no storage. DETAILS: I travel a lot and in my experience most people are pretty nice, but I don't think I've ever encountered hotel staff as unbelievably kind, cheerful, and welcoming as this. Some of it is Scotland (almost everyone I interacted with was just so sweet), but even then. The staff welcomed me, found me a room early because I was so jetlagged, helped me with my self-inflicted power problems, fed me coffee, and generally made me sorry to have to check out. Otherwise, this is a standard European budget hotel. Everything is quite minimalist, but well maintained, bright, and clean. The rooms are super tiny and the "workspace" is pretty unusable, but the lobby is 24/7 and has lots of power and comfortable seats. My only real problem is that there's essentially no place to unpack stuff; you're living out of a suitcase. Overall, I would stay again in a heartbeat."

"As a young, female solo traveler, this hotel was perfect. Good location for the bus and proximity to the city center. The staff was very friendly and at the desk 24/7. And the room and amenities are good for the price. "

"Friendly staff, clean room"

"Great hotel, exactly what we needed as a family of 3. Good selection of food for our 3 year old at the restaurant. Great location for visiting the zoo next door and easy access to the buses (bud stop straight outside hotel) "

"Staff and room were truly excellent. Really loved the staff!"

"Loved it!!! Will definitely be back! Great location, friendly & helpful staff, plus loved the indoor pool & steam room. "

"The room smelled permanently of dirty drains. The reception staff were excellent and eventually moved us to another room. If you are a coeliac don't even consider staying here. I rang the hotel to check they actually did gluten free food before I made the booking and was told they definitely did. When I went down for the evening meal and asked what gluten free was available I was told a salad because they don't have many coeliacs staying. Enough said. "

"The staff was so kind and greeted us right away assisting with our bags and offering us a beverage upon arrival. We were exhausted after the walk from the train station and they helped us get settled and take our bags so we could settle for a bit and then sight see till our room was ready. Loved our stay and loved the room. "

"Great location and comfortable room with small kitchen and cooking supplies for preparing meals. Conveniently located near to the train station ( EDB ), about 8-9 minutes walk and right on the Royal mile. Groceries, coffee shops and restaurants are readily available nearby. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again."
