The only reasonable fact about this âhotelâ is that there is a bus line between the city centre and the docks, without the bus it is a 20-25 minute walk to princess street which was fine for me. I understand my stay was during the Fringe Festival and I had made the booking the week prior, however there is no excuse for the quality and level of service of this location compared to the price. It is more accurately a glorified hostel.
Pictures show a reasonable clean and modern room with plenty of white paint, which is not false, but the reality doesnât hide how cheap the materials are. There were 2 small bathrooms (toilet/ electric shower and sink) shared to at least 7 bedrooms, I didnât count for the ground or top floor bathrooms, thatâs if they even existed... shower was dirty and bedsheets were certainly not âspotlessâ with a large mark on the main sheet. In the room you are offered a kettle, a cup, a glass and a very small selection of tea/ coffee and sugar. No shower soap available which to me is a standard provision and a necessity for someone who packs light. Even a refill installation in the shower would be the least that could be provided. Breakfast was included but finishes at 09:30, which I was not aware of at 09:55 and told to look in the fridge if I wanted... Actual service was non existent. I was handed the room key and that was it. I wonât be returning or making any recommendation regardless of price.
