Pros: Nice place in center of Edinburgh to stay for a few nights

Pros: Nice place in center of Edinburgh to stay for a few nights. Kitchen facilities and showers good, and a nice common space with some sofas to sit on. Staff were helpful. Cons: Some of the laminate floor panels were loose so a almost fell over a few times ! Could do with a little updating.
