9.5/10
Amazing
SsilkwormNice little room but still with more space than I had expected. Decor is tasteful. Love all the quality products. Love the 'Do Not Disturb ' cat. Underfloor heating in bathroom was great to start with but it gets too hot when you stand in front of the wash hand basin for any length of time. Bed is good and spacious.

RRocks tripsA last minute booking as my flight was delayed and couldn’t make connecting train, everything was fine, bottom bunk a little short on headroom but fine for sleeping, everything clean but energy saving toilets often didn’t flush but thats just down to water power, Perfect location could’ve better placed with its own bar and 5 mins walk to train station and city centre

YYinbaoThere is no free internet available, you need to purchase it for 3 pounds a day for two devices. It is a 12-minute walk from the train station and a ten-minute train ride to the center of Edinburgh. There is no hairdryer in the room. You can borrow it from the front desk or store your luggage. The hotel staff is friendly.

Ssib-elThe room itself was clean, but the surrounding areas were not as good. The showers on my side were not even there so we had use our neighbors and there was one day in which there was no hot water at all. The one bathroom we had in our area had to light and was smelly most of the time. Again, the room was clean and did not smell, it was also huge so everyone had plenty of room for everything. The staff was super friendly I can’t complain about that and they also had the best washing machines and dryers ever. The location is pretty central but there is no elevator so if you get a room on the 4th floor that’s gonna be rough.

TTong PengFrom airport, take airlink100 and alight at haymaker.
Cross the road and walk back and look for street sign COATES GARDENS . Walk up the slope till you reach the end, there you will see travel lodge right in front of you. Most attractions are walkable and you do not require to buy any bus tickets. Hotel main door facing south east, if you book rooms above main hotel door direction, you will catch morning sun and take beautiful pictures.

AAzibasuam LilianI loved the location as I had access to the park for the children and to the shop. I loved that the room had enough beds for all of us (5 people). I would have appreciated if we could get plates, as we came with food. It was great the room had a microwave. There was plumbing issues that delayed our shower time. But stay was good.
6.0/10
GGuest UserIf you are looking for a room in Edinburgh with no frills but affordable this hotel ticks the boxes . It’s not much dearer than a dormitory but far more private with a room and shower . It’s also a fifteen minute walk to the centre and ten minutes to holy rood park and palace and opposite a pub and restaurant . It was very peaceful there and ideal for a budget friendly city visit
