Also know as 29 Guest House. |When we arrived, our room had been given to another family. The person in charge that evening proceded to kick the family out of that room and move them to the room they were supposed to have. …

After an awful 10 hour drive (not the hotels fault I know). I received a text to tell me my booking had been cancelled. This left me and my children stranded with nowhere to stay, on one of the busiest weekends in Edinburgh. …

This hotel is around a half an hour walk from the city centre which is not too bad. Unfortunately, this was pretty much the only decent thing about this hotel. Requested early check in, and never got a response. …

Cheap you get what you pay for. Room was clean. The bed was old and flat I pushed my hand and touched the wood board under the bed. Toilet is a closet with the sink in your chest. Literally. The shower is a closet. No private toilet so wait your turn. The breakfast was fruit, yogurt, and croissants. The tea pot had be plugged in on the floor. The sugar packets were from subway. And the window only opened an inch. But it was clean up stairs. Down stairs smelled of mold.

Not good, would not recommend this place to anyone. Definitely not stopping there again. Breakfast was a joke! Sorry guys! Needs a complete refurb! Miss-matched furniture and bedding. Stained mattress protector and something up the toilet door.

Considering the festival it also went well for us. Strange hotel, unattended, they receive you, they give you 2 codes for the entrance door and for the room and disappear. …
