There was a very small parking area to the rear. The property entrance hall and stairwell need refurbishing - large stained areas on carpet. Room was adequate and beds were comfortable. No disturbance but a lingering smell in room, partly a drain smell from shower. Needed a spare key for my son butvthere wasn't one. Good, frequent bus system, into Edinbugh, from stops very close by.

Cheap and cheerful.Clean.Value for money

A nice place to stay for a night. No frills. Clean and tidy. Parking for a couple of cars to the rear, but these are tight spaces. Bus stop right outside will take you into the city centre (about a 20 min bus journey). Tea and coffee/shampoo and conditioner supplied. Breakfast was continental and nice.

Onsite parking was extremely limited. Busy road. Convenient for taking the bus. Bed was comfortable. Room needs some TLC (paint, dusting/mold in bathroom). Difficult checking in if you can’t phone to be let in (out of country phone didn’t have calling in UK).

This property screams for some reparations and renovations. It has good potential, but the current owners must update the hotel like, NOW! And, I feel sorry for the staff. two kind ladies who can't even breath on how busy they are. I hope OYO hotels stop being so greedy and staff properly this hotel and renovate it as soon as possible.

Don’t book here!

The place is in very poor condition. The decor is bad - ripped curtains, ripped carpets, broken lamps, dirty bathroom. There is no one to greet you or to contact. There are police notices everywhere. I’ve had to supply my ID - and don’t know why.

We were not given an access code to get in the front door. The room was tiny and dirty. Throw the cushions in the bin-they are disgusting! Breakfast was ordinary. Very expensive and not worth it. Would not recommend.

A fine old house

People are complaining about house being old, well, it is and that’s fine. You are only sleeping in there to enjoy city. Parking was fine, close to supermarket if you need anything. Check up possible direct with the owner. No problem what's whatever.
