We were placed here by the council while we waited for our homelessness case. From the outside the building already looks scary. You can already  tell the rooms are dark and mouldy. The Inside reeks of urine, flies everywhere, carpets rotting, the curtains falling apart, mould growing in the structure of the building, this doesn't need renovation, this building needs tearing down. Then more shock when I run into families with babies and young children that have been placed into this vile building. My own child a teenager,  my heart ached as she told me she was struggling to breathe in the mould infested, flea infested, urine soaked and damp and putrid air. My initial image of a beautiful city with beautiful buildings and a warm people now totally sqashed and replaced by the knowledge underneath it all, this is how they really treat the homeless of their city, without regard or care. Edinburgh City Council, this is not right!

Edinburgh Councils dumping ground for the homeless

Very handy bus services straight to Edinburgh. Room clean, comfortable and quiet. Own key to front door so no curfew. Breakfast a disappointment as very basic with no trimmings at all. Very friendly proprietor who appeared to be doing it all single-handedly.

2 nights B and B for the Edinburgh Festival and Tattoo

The hotel is sadly in need of some serious cleaning. The inside of the shower glass had thick mould on it.There was no where to hang towels or even the toilet roll in the bathroom. The beds were uncomfortable. The walls and the floors were so thin we could hear the people above and both sides as well as when they were traversing the corridors. The window frames also had mould on them and one of the pieces of secondary glazing was missing. There was a strong smell of cannabis in the corridor and on our second night there was a party going late into the night in one of the rooms. The bar wasn't open and the staff could hardly speak English. The best bit was the view sadly the weather wasn't very good so we didn't get to appreciate it .

One of the worst hotels it has been my misfourtune to ever stay in.

From the advert and photos on booking.com believed this place to be a reasonable and satisfactory place to stay. At best it's a hostel, at worst a shelter/halfway house. Terrible nights sleep and not very clean.
Staff helpful enough, they recommended going elsewhere to get a better and cheaper breakfast. 
Might of been a nice place once but now looks like they've chosen to make their money up from Social benefits clients 

Falsely advertised

Although the reception staff were friendly we wish we had read previous reviews on this place!!! It is more of a life house/hostel than a hotel and at £60 a night for room only definately not a buget price. Felt intimidated on entering and leaving the building by people hanging around outside drinking and smoking what was definately not normal cigarettes and wondering round the cars. There was no hot water at all and tried filling the bath with boiled kettles which didn't stay full due to the plug not fitting. The beds felt like the springs had broken each time we moved and the latches on the windows were broken. 
 We was bitterly disappointed as it came across as a lovely hotel on the site. The only reason we stayed was because we were just passing through on an itinerary.  It is a shame as the location is a beautiful area but cannot recommend it at all. 

Poor advertising 

We visited here this weekend, very attentive landlady, great advice and help for getting around Edinburgh without having to move car! Great off road parking so felt safe leaving car! 

Room was lovely and clean, a bit small but did the job! Bathroom was perfect! 

Lovely breakfast just missed the full Scottish! Very adaptable with times for breakfast and served with a smile! 😊

Lovely, friendly landlady. Recommend highly! 

We will return 😊
