    Bed mattresses are not so comfortable. Zero frills. You get what you pay. You have to close the window at night - else won’t be able to sleep because of the noise from the main road. No free room service.

    Great location. Helpful staff - gave us a fan because it was too hot when we traveled. Visited in times of fringe - so expect to pay a heavy premium. Space is enough for 2 people. Good toilet. Room was clean

    Would not let you check-in physically standing in front of them. You had to fill out this obnoxious online form while the reception watched you.

    Clean, nothing exceptionally wrong with it. Wifi was great, able to take video calls and play online games without issue.

    It was actually student accommodation which I was originally trying to avoid and something a few people seemed to be complaining about at reception. I was actually pleasantly surprised however and there wasn't loud music or the like that I might have expected from students who might have been staying over the holidays. That said, I think it would have been better to have been open about what is being sold in order to manage expectations. A kettle would also have been nice :)

    Pretty good location, a short walk from the centre and also on the tramline so easy to get to most places. Clean room and friendly helpful staff.

    Everything could be cleaner: the room floors, the towels, the bathroom. Our en-suite was for disabled people, which I did not particularly enjoy because of the shower area. There was not an extraction fan and the smell of humidity and some damp was not pleasant.

    The location was good. Staff was nice and let us leave our luggage after checking out, which we really appreciated. Despite the room facing a noisy street, after closing the window the noise was not excessive and we could sleep well.

    Very expensive for what it was - £184 per night during the festival, and for not much more I could get a private flat with a full-sized comfortable bed suitable for two, and a separate bedroom, which is what I did for the second half of my visit. The gym that tempted me to book was very basic and unventilated, making it somewhat smelly, and other shared facilities were not as good as they looked on the website, which was reflected by the fact they were totally deserted during my visit. Would not stay again unless price was significantly lower.

    Basic but clean accommodation with a good personal kitchen. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    Street noise was very loud and the room had no air conditioning so we when it was hot the windows had to be open. The bed had a sharp metal bit where the mattress wire had snapped and come loose.

    Didn't get a chance to use the pool table and movie room, but I liked that they had it on offer.

    - No good ventilation or air conditioning. So hardly possible to sleep with closed window, and very noisy ones you pen the window. - No cleaning/trash collection. - To expensive for such size and service.

    - Comfortable location near New City. Close to tram station, railway station, pubs and restraunts. - Big enough room well equiped, nice view to the city - Nice welcoming personal - Small gym and home cinema available for free

    The bed wasn’t great (and had a spring coming out of the mattress). The heat was unbearable, we requested a fan and it made no difference to the room. We left the window open for some cool air and it was so so noisy outside. This really is college accommodation.

    The staff were friendly, and the property was a 15/20 min walk from the centre

    A good location & accommodation.

    As we knew this was student accommodation - effectively unfurnished and without "hotel" facilities, it would be unfair to compare it to hotels or B&Bs which is where we usually stay in holiday breaks, so the relative lack of in-room facilities is hard to mark down as a "dislike". The shower cubicle was definitely on the tight side - apologies to our neighbours as I bashed by arms on the sides every morning. The double bed was a fixed base unit with one person against the wall - again, cue some knee & arm bashing when turning over, so keep this in mind if you're used to a bigger bed or are a messy sleeper.

    The accommodation was probably better than we expected (knowing it was student accommodation and with my previous experience of student accommodation) with a bright, good sized room which had plenty of storage space and as we chose a studio, we also had a small ceramic hob, microwave, kettle and sink/basin. Staff were friendly & efficient and we had no problems with noise from other rooms. As locations go, this was fine - 15-20 mins easy walk to Princes Street & Waverley Railway Station, a tram stop at the door and bus stops within about 50m - but also plenty of local food/drink, shopping right outside the door.

    Too small bed, not that convenient and comfortable, value for money is not justified.
