Nice staff but an uncomfortable stay

All staff I talked with at reception were really nice and friendly. And yes, the location is super central. But overall, unfortunately, it was just not a comfortable stay. The bed was short (and I’m really not a tall person at all), the bathroom pod inside the room was just so tiny (think airplane bathroom but with a shower) and the walls must have been made of paper because you could hear absolutely everything from the other rooms. I tend to go for inexpensive basic when I pick my hotels, but this was beyond basic in my opinion.

Wonderful for a solo traveller

Great location and wonderful view. I had the double room with castle view. It’s very small for 2 people but lucky I was travelling alone. Very little room for two people to move around. Very small bathroom as well. Disappointed that I was charged a fee to mind my suitcase. That was disappointing. But the young lady receptionist was super helpful and delightful and made up for it. She was great.

The room is way too small, wifi is flickering and is very noisy. You can hear others room conversations, when they’re showering m, even when they use the toilet. Location is good but it’s overpriced.

2/10 Poor

Such a poor stay

One of the worst stays I've had in decades I clearly and politely asked months ago at the time of reservation to try and get a quiet room with window. I was given a room with a view to a highly trafficked high street, ambulances, noisy revellers shouting until late at night, cars, heavy trams and it was like being in a transport tunnel from early morning to late night. The window had no phonic insulation, there was no mention of such huge noise when I booked so I couldn't get my eye mask and ear plugs. I told in the morning at reception and was given mm ask and plugs but of poor quality. Useless. Even worse when I checked in and reminded the person about my request I was met with rudeness and the impression that I was asking for something special. I was there for work, I needed to study and read. I couldn't sleep more than 2 hours in 2 nights, I performed badly at my business activity. Just awful. They could've told me about such conditions. I wasn't there to see the castle!

Meh hotel.

First off their is no elevator in the building their is no indication when booking the hotel that they have no elevator. I have mobility issues and had no idea I'd be humffing my back up three flights of stairs. The rooms are tiny, their are other hotel rooms in Edinburgh for the same price or near that have much larger rooms and elevators. Their was no point in being given a key card to get into the building because after tapping your card, you still had to wait to be let in. Says their is Aircon, their was no controllable aircon so ended up cooking in the tiny room. Staff however were very pleasant and polite.

Rugby weekend stay.

Room was tiny although we were aware of what we were paying for. Not really a hotel more hostel like. Theres no lift so if your not fit forget it. Was very cold as its a listed building with bed up beside window. Staff were helpful and got us an extra duvet. Grand for short stay not long.

Avoid if possible

I'm all for low cost accommodation in a great location. Stayed here for 2 nights and was very uncomfortable but again, expectedly uncomfortable. What I can't put up with is no water for showers. Two days and two nights without hot water (or any water) for a shower. When I asked about if it was coming back on, I was told it was an old building and it happens. There is a Premier Inn a few doors up. Have a look there instead.

Fine if you are a heavy sleeper

Budget hotel and conditions to be expected. The windows may as well be wide open as the noise from the traffic is so loud and it's single glazing, fire safety light stays on all night. Definitely worth investing in a nicer hotel but staff are welcoming and location central.

Cheap (for Edinburgh) stay

My first ever Easy Hotel stay. Clean no-frills small room. It's a pod dropped into an old building so there was no window but as I was literally arriving, leaving a bag, going out for a gig, coming back, sleeping and leaving in the morning a window was not needed.

Small but comfy city centre rooms

The first thing I will mention is the elephant in the room. The rooms in an Easy Hotel are small. They are essentially just a bed and a shower/toilet room. I've stayed in an Easy Hotel before and that is perfectly fine for me. I'm only going to be sleeping and showering there anyway. Edinburgh Easy Hotel is much like that but it is also smack bang in the centre of Edinburgh. You can literally walk out the front door and see the castle. Tram and bus stops are right there too, as well as cafes, other eateries and shops. The only thing I might mention about the Edinburgh Easy Hotel is that I could hear people talking in the rooms next to mine. If you are a light sleeper then you may want to bear that in mind. Me, I wouldn't hear a nuclear bomb! Overall I was very happy with my stay. The staff were pleasant, the room comfy and warm (in a very cold January Edinburgh) and it was cheap. That gave me more money to enjoy beautiful Edinburgh.
