hub Edinburgh City Centre - Royal Mile

The location is great, close to royal mile but away from a lot of foot traffic so the rooms were quiet. Check in and checkout was smooth. The wifi didn't work at all for 2 out of 3 days of my trip, and the room I had didn't have good mobile signal either, so I had no internet at all. The room smelled musty but was mostly comfortable. I was given no instructions at all during check-in and discovered on my own that they have free coffee and tea on the ground floor for everyone. I appreciate the sustainability effort of not washing the towels every single day, but it would have been useful to have two bath towels in the bedroom instead of just the one. Overall was an ok stay!

Coffee and tea for free. Well located next to the royal mile.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The rooms are very small but that is to be expected in downtown areas at this price point. The breakfast was nice and the common areas were very comfortable. We enjoyed the selection of snacks and light meals available. Location was great; close to the train station, a block off the high street and walking distance to all the tourist locations.

Nice hotel close to the train station. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was good. Be sure to schedule in advance if you want an early check in, I mistakenly thought you could just pay on the day to check in early and that wasn’t the case. But they do let you leave your luggage. The gin distillery is right across the street as well as one of the Islander UK workshops. I partook in both! And there’s a little chocolate shop around the corner. The room is small but cozy and I had a nice little view. The staff was friendly and checking out was just dropping your key card in a box!

Rooms were very very small And it seemed as they didn’t want you to stay in the lobby

Very clean and modern with a great location. But rooms very small. Like a cruise ship. Parking garage was down the next street. 22 pounds a day. No option for early check in but they do offer luggage storage .

This is an extremely small room, with access to the bed limited to one side only as the other 3 sides are jammed against the wall, and it is difficult to get up into the bed as it sits above storage drawers. The "living space" is a narrow aisle which is impassable if a drawer is open. The only place to open a suitcase is likewise on the narrow floor, or unhygienicly, on top of the bed. The mattress was not too uncomfortable, but was covered with only a single unfitted sheet not suitable for restless sleepers. I awoke several times laying directly on the uncovered mattress as the sheet had slipped out from under me -- gross. There is also a duvet provided, but no top sheet. Whomever sleeps next to the wall cannot easily exit the bed as their companion blocks the path. Also, the electrical outlets for phone chargers are inconveniently located causing the wall sleeper to become entangled in charging cables. Some of the outlets were also inoperable. The room felt stuffy and the air controls not effective. The carpet seemed sticky. At least the bathroom and shower were good, and towels were exchanged upon request at the front desk. Breakfast was adequate, and coffee and tea were available at all times.

It was adequate for one night. The room is teeny, tiny. We had to pay to check in early but they will let you leave your bags for free. The location is the only real reason to stay here. It’s near everything.

Stained sheets and walls, very small room, wish I stayed somewhere else

The room was small but nice. When we opened the room we were immediately in the face with a musty, swampy smell. The room was swampy to begin then the AC was turned on - this helped with the odor that took our breathe away each time we entered the room. Once on the AC unit dripped non-stop onto the carpet which is what I think caused the smell. We had to put the bathroom trash can with a towel under the Ac unit which was above the door. The can filled up over night but no one was at the desk when we would come and go due to the self check in kiosks. Minus this the room was ok, but we would probably not stay at this location again.

Room was very small, shower not very clean and a/c made awful noises all night. On arrival there were 2 pillows and one towel for two guests.

Lovely accommodations in the heart of the old city. Convenient to explore the city and easy to access from trains. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Great breakfast. Definitely will book again.

The room was certainly not up to the same standard we received a few days earlier when we stayed. The room had the neon chair that had a wet stain on it, so we couldn’t use it. Floor looked in vacuumed. Most importantly there is black mold bottom of the glass shower door. We were extremely busy this time out and couldn’t deal with it at the time.

This hotel was incredibly dingy and dirty. The room had piles of dust on everything, stains all over the carpet and chairs, and there was a small dried drop of blood on the comforter. I didn’t ask for a new one because clearly they are not cleaning things throughly. I slept with a hoodie on instead. Even the bathrooms in the lobby are disgusting. This might seem to be the cheapest option, but cheapest is not always best. The room was ok enough just to sleep in, as I was out all day everyday; however it was still gross. I should’ve spent the extra money somewhere else. The only redeeming qualities this hotel had was the coffee/tea bar, and most of the staff was pleasant.

Friendly staff, clean rooms and great location. Thank you.

The standard vs. the price was not acceptable. The room first room was not clean. The second was better. No ventilation in the rooms so the air was very bad. Went next door for breakfast after the first morning. Could not get a 15 min extended check out. Not going back.

Aircondition did not work. Moisty room. Staff was helpful with fixing a fan.

The breakfast had a limited selection, but what they did do they did well. The croissants were some of the lightest/flakiest I've ever had, and they made an excellent coffee for you, all unlimited, and all for 6 pounds, which can't be beat. My negative review is due to our room, for which the temperature was hot and which could not be adjusted. There were electronic controls for requesting daily cleaning, which made no sense since the option was to NOT request a cleaning, but the default as posted was that you had to specifically request a cleaning. This was confusing, as you had to go to the desk to request a cleaning. Finally, there was little shelf and hook space to put stuff, and the desk was just a small fold-out from the wall. In short, high potential, but poorly executed for the room design.

Very clean and modern with a great location. But rooms very small. Like a cruise ship. Parking garage was down the next street. 22 pounds a day. No option for early check in but they do offer luggage storage .

Bed was too small, soft and saggy. Bathroom was adequate. Very good breakfast selection except no eggs.

The room are extremely small, bit its very convenient location and work for us just needing a bed to sleep at night. So we are happy about our stay in Edinburgh.

Staff was friendly, good location. But it was the SMALLEST room Ive ever stayed in. It was WAY TO EXPENSIVE for 112 sq ft of space. I had to leave my luggage opened on my TWIN bed because there was nowhere else to put it. I had to sleep on one side of my TWIN bed. That room should be about $75 a night. Even in the US that room would be about $40 a night

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was a problem for them. The breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious. I am gluten free and they made sure I had gluten free toast. I can’t rate the service a quality of room high enough. Thank you for a great staff. We wanted to stay longer.

The front desk staff was very helpful

Our A/C unit kept dripping, and power was on and off in the headboard unit. Staff was wonderful, however.

Friendly staff, clean rooms and great location. Thank you.

Awesome location. Wonderful staff were very helpful. Bed was AMAZING. We slept so well. Conveniently located in the heart of the old town.

Ran out of toilet paper. Ask the reception to clean up and go over my room. They gave me clean towels (that I didn’t need), didn’t clean, and I had to pick up toilet paper in the reception.

It’s a perfect location for travel to Edinburgh. The train station is less than a 5 minute walk, and you’re also in the middle of the city where restaurants, museums, shops and cafes are all within walkable distance. The hotel room was small, but more than adequate for a good night’s rest.

Coffee and tea for free. Well located next to the royal mile.

Fun, modern hotel room. Very close to train station and the Royal Mile.

This hotel is perfect for a quick stay in Edinburgh. It is a short five minute walk from the train station and another short five minute walk to the Royal Mile. The rooms are not big, but the bed is super comfortable. It is well priced clean and the staff and other accommodations were perfect. You can also get the option for an included continental breakfast, which was delicious and very well priced. 10/10 would recommend and would stay here again.

An easy walk from the Waverly train station. Walkable to all of the local sights to include the Edinburgh castle! 10/10 would stay again!

Excellent stay; convenient location for Royal Mile shops, pubs, restaurants. Excellent bed, great shower. Substantial breakfast. Great personnel. Thanks again.
