Guests say
The hotel boasts an excellent location, making it easy for guests to explore the area and access public transportation. Many reviews emphasize the spaciousness of the rooms, with some being particularly impressive in terms of size and comfort. However, guests frequently express dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of the rooms and the level of service provided by the staff, particularly regarding housekeeping issues. The inconsistency in room maintenance and attention to guest requests detracted from an otherwise favorable experience.

Pros (+) If you plan on walking or using the bus system to explore Edinburgh like I did, I highly recommend this hotel. Loved the location–less than ten minutes walking distance of Prince and Leith Streets, which makes finding restaurants or tram/bus stations easy. (I visited Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival, and one of the venues was a couple buildings down the street.) I also enjoyed the interior design...
Cons (-) Not recommended if you have difficulty walking or if you're traveling in a car. There is no lift in the building, and guests are expected to find their own parking.
