2.4 / 5 2.4 / 5 Anonymous on 01/09/2009 (Solo leisure traveller)

- Service by staff was excellent - A very good choice at the buffet-style breakfast. - Location within easy walking distance of Edinburgh centre. - It was useful to have wireless internet access.

- Tatty decor and fittings in my room. - Mould round shower. - Bathroom extractor did not work. - Electric shower that got hot enough to scald. Had to experiment to find a way to get a comfortable temperature. - Cheap Ikea furnishings. - Venetian blind that could not be adjusted to cut out the light of the steet light outside. And the curtains were too thin to cut out much light. - The plug on the television aerial had become detached and had been poorly replaced. So there was no TV reception.

Hotel very central to city centre, breakfast good and staff friendly. Bed was comfy and clean and bathroom was clean.

Decor very old fashioned and a little fusty. Room was to have a hairdryer but none was supplied. Reception downstairs from main entrance therefore you didn't see staff very often, security could have been an issue but we had no problems at all.

Overall: Good stay, hotel satisfactory for a short stay, would return for short stay again. If you like walking this is a perfect location for sight seeing.  (107240764)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
