the breakfast had many options for me. a bus stop was very close too that took me to princes street.
the room was to small and i did not work very well with two people and one chair. i have stayed here before and i had a similar feeling about the room size. the price don't reflect the room size.

the bus stop right outside made getting around super easy. i also thought that the variety of food choices available for meals was quite good. the staff were friendly, particularly ethan at check-in and sally at breakfast.
the noise from the pipes was a bit disruptive . it made getting a full night's sleep a little difficult.

The staff are very friendly! I enjoyed a wonderful shower with good pressure. It really was perhaps the best shower I've had in a hotel. There is 24 food availability too.
My room was boiling. I found there was no way to turn heating off. I had to take key card out of slot to turn electric off. This was needed to get some sleep.

The shower temperature was erratic. It kept switching between scalding hot and freezing cold, really annoying (i had to keep jumping out of the way!). this made showering a real chore.

the bus routes into the city were in close proximity. the rooms were simple and well-equipped. i thought the breakfast options provided a good choice (especially the fresh fruit).
the windows desperately needed changing in room 007. they all had failed seals. mould was growing in some places on the inside. the thermostat was locked at 18°c, so it was chilly. i didn't know this was centrally controlled at the front desk until checkout.
