It was really hard to find the room, the receptionist had to take me as she said its needlessly difficult. I couldn't get back through the door to get out of the hotel so I had to go through a separate courtyard into the bar next door. There were several little flies in my room like little fruit flies. The sink had bits in it like it hadn't been cleaned. There was some sort of club in the hotel and it was incredibly loud so also got no sleep. 100% not worth the money I spent to stay here.

The room was not very clean and there was a bar next to it, which was very noisy. The location was good

There is a Bluetooth speaker on the roof, which can be connected to Bluetooth to play songs. The room is very big, very new, well decorated, hygienic and clean, and the bathroom is also very large. The facilities are very complete and overall very good.

The Hotel is amazing! STAY is really well located, the staff is helpfull and the room is great. Also, the bar is really cool to spend some time when you come back from visiting the city. If I'm ever blessed with coming back to Edinburgh again, I will totally stay there again!

Great location, clean and modern, spacious room with spacious shower. Very kind staff. Good breakfast, though pricey (£15). Room a bit noisy because of disco nearby but I still slept well. I would definitely go back.

Very clean and good facilities (loved the free pool/table tennis!) but extremely loud in the rooms - techno/bass music thumping til early morning, and the XL room we were in was only separated from next door by adjoining doors meaning every word could be clearly heard, it felt like we had a family of strangers in the room with us!

The ceiling of the bath room had many damp and mould, water dripping from the ceiling The smell of toilet is very disgusting, circulating throughout the whole room. Lots of noise is made as you step on the wooden floor
