4/10 Fair
Aug 24, 2024
I would not have booked here had I known that the doors don't lock. There is one key for all the doors, and everyone receives a copy of this key. Anyone can open the door to your room at night or while you are out. There isn't even a safe in the room to secure your valuables. Ridiculously unsafe, how hard could it be to put locks on the doors? It is also not staffed at all at night.
Further, the listing did not say that there was no bathroom for the room. There is a bathroom across the hall (again no lock) so you have to take all your clothes and toiletries with you into the common area to use the bathroom. Some rooms have a bathroom, but you have no way to know beforehand what you're getting.
The room is hot with no way to ventilate other than a window with no screen, letting in moths and mosquitos.
No breakfast items which are pictured in the listing.
Location is not particularly walkable. 35 minute walk to Royal Mile and the castle. This would have been fine if the price reflected this.
You pay hotel prices for what is less than a usual hostel experience. At least the room was clean.
