easyHotel Edinburgh

"If you are looking to build your fitness levels this is the hotel, steep stairwell with reception on 1st floor. Rooms are compact (couldn’t open the shower cubicle door fully) and very basic. Not sure if I picked the wrong dates however certainly didn’t feel like budget prices. Location is good which is why I picked it however in retrospect I would book somewhere else in the future and happily walk a bit more to the attractions."

"Booked this two months ago. I live in the countryside and trains not leaving late enough to return. Stupidly , I booked a room without a window. But for £188 I thought it couldn’t be too bad. I was wrong. It was very bad. I felt fortunate I was a healthy BMI and 5’8” woman. You can’t swing a cat. Anything bigger you’ll struggle. Certainly if you’re tall. Bed v short. Room dark. If you’re brushing teeth in bathroom you are standing in half the circular shower tray. There was no sink plug. Putting on makeup near bed ( nowhere to put anything in bathroom),I could only have one product at a time on minuscule shelf 5cm in depth. People will say here that you get what you pay for and location etc but for £188, a solitary confinement experience and first impressions associated with a mild attack of anxiety in walking into room was really awful. No lift. I don’t mind stairs, and am fit, but the stairs were steep. If you are not in good physical shape,you’ll struggle with stairs. I had a backpack , but good luck if you have even the most minor of physical ailment. Any heavy suitcases would be a nightmare unless you are an Olympic weight lifter. I misjudged this hotel and own that fully. If you’re thinking of booking, get a window or don’t stay. Yours, erstwhile cell mate."

"The room is ideal for a young single person or young couple who stay out clubbing all night as its just a box room with no window and standing space for 1 only the shower and toilet is small but usable, there is a bright green light on all night that i had to cover with my pants !! but for a couple reaching 60 yrs old it was a nightmare ruined our break that we was so looking forward too after working hard in our jobs , thank god for a Popeyes restraunt next door where you can sit down on a chair have a coffee and look out the window ! There is no lifts to the rooms neither so again better suited to the young and fit and able bodied , only compliment is it was fairly clean"
