Terrible.....

I have been travelling all over Europe and the UK for the past two months and this hotel has been the biggest disappointment of my entire stay. I was aware that it was on the nightclub strip and could be noisy after reading these reviews, but I am not a light sleeper so wasnt really worried about the noise levels. As it turned out this place is directly on top of a pub, and the noise from there kept me up until about 2-3am in the morning. There is no soundproofing whatsoever. Then just as the noise dies down I was drifting off to sleep when I was suddenly woken up by a hell of a clatter - I think it was the pub staff ditching all the empty bottles in the recycling bin - it made such a noise at 3-4am and I sat bolt upright I got such a startle! In hindsight quite a few reviews mention this noise and I think it is unlikley to be rubbish collection day on easter saturday at 4am, so it is probably a nightly occurence once the pub shuts down in the wee hours of the night.
The room is ok - stained carpets but at least fairly spacious. The bathroom is probably the oldest I have stayed in but white and reasonable in appearance. There was a used cigarette butt floating in my toilet when I arrived so that doesnt say much about the cleaning staff!
After the worst night's sleep I have had in a while (i stayed in a hostel for the next 3 nights on a backpacking tour and this was far quieter!) I got up expecting a nice hot shower. And I got it! The water was scalding hot and there was no way of turning the temperature down no matter which direction you turned the temp dial! I could barely get my hands under it. I rang downstairs where the staff happily agreed that he had noticed a similar thing that mornign, and happily admitted he had no idea how to fix it. I asked for a shower in a different room, or for soemthing to be done to fix it, and he said the manager was coming in 10 mins and he would call me back. I never heard anything from them, ended up washing my hair in the sink, and had to leave in a huge hurry to make the pick up time for my backpacker tour. Unfortunately I had pre paid for the room - big mistake!
The temperature in the shower may have been a once off problem, but it was dealt with incredibly poorly - i paid for a hotel for a good nights sleep and a nice hot shower before I left on my backpacker trip - and i got neither! I wouldnt recommend staying here at all.

Top Local Tips for Edinburgh

Hop on and Hop off Bus If you interested in learning about Edinburgh and its history definitely take a hop on and hop off bus. Not only does it give you an idea of where to go in the town but it allows you to spend as much time in each place as you want.

Browns Definately go hear for a meal - try the warm chicken salad its very very tasty

Eating + Drinking Rose street is best place - lots of cafes + bars so they all competing in price.
