Pros: Price was great. Our room slept 5 and was quite large for a UK hotel. Area was mostly quiet and felt safe. Blackout curtains were great. Walkable distance to a Tesco, Papa John’s and so many other restaurants (check out Lioness of Leith!). Shower was great (water pressure excellent and plenty of hot water). Easy drive to Old Town attractions.
Cons: other than the shower, the bathroom could use some updates - the whole basement level of the hotel looks like it’s maybe in the process of a remodel? Our room was next to the stairs and I could hear them squeaking throughout the night as people came and went. Car park had limited space, but parking out front was free.
Overall it wasn’t anything fancy, but it met our family’s needs, was quiet and felt safe. If you’re on a budget, this is an excellent option.
