No6 West Coates

This was our first experience in an automated no-service no-staff hotel..we stayed 2 nights and did not see a single member of staff. the room was not cleaned and the breakfast was basic and only continental. For the price we paid, I expected a little more. the hotel is an old converted Georgian house and looks nice from the outside. Would I stay here again? No !

When we arrived there was no code to access the key. For some reason it hadn’t been sent. However after much checking of their records the owner managed to get our key. But as we had no code we couldn’t access the key safe when we checked out so just left the key in our room. Breakfast was terrible!! One of the worst I have ever experienced in all my years of travelling. The choice was a packet croissant or a selection of 3 cereals. No fruit, no bread to make toast, no hot food, just awful!! In fact one guest tipped cereal on the floor then spent the next few minutes kicking it under the fridge!! On our 2nd of 2 nights, we had an early start next morning so tried to go to sleep around 10pm. Shortly after 10, outside our room which was on the ground floor, a lot of drunk women started shouting and yelling and popping champagne bottles. The loud chatter continued for over an hour when they then decided they couldn’t get into their rooms as they had misplaced their keys. This went on and on until it got a bit too rowdy and the swearing started and we thought a fight was about to break out!!! But the hotel owner occupies a room on the ground floor and did nothing to help! Awful, horrible hotel that doesn’t give what it promises. To be fair on one point, our room was spacious, but advertised as a ‘Business Double’ I think is a bit OTT. I’m sure a businessman/lady wouldn’t have wanted to stay here.

Main road under renovation and good location

I like the area it was situated . Really nice and clean room . In the morning , the batteries of the outside door were on floor as if someone close the door too hard. We try to put it again but the lock was not opening . So we left earlier because it would not have been possible to return in the hotel .

Lovely, clean room & bathroom with ample amenities for our short stay. Complimentary cold breakfast had plenty choice and was an added bonus. Only minor issue was the room was extremely hot but we simply turned down the radiators. Excellent location for walking into the heart of Edinburgh.

The room was clean and oke. There was supposed to be breakfast but this was only cornflakes and prewrapped croissants. It would have bin better to have a clear idea what to expect before booking. The fridges we’re not clean. Towels etc we’re not automatically changed but can be taken from some closet downstairs.

Since its my 1st time to have found a hotel that’s not big w/ not that much staffs, It was indeed such an experience for me. The guy who works for this clean & quaint hotel is, very nice & helpful & accomodating. He has made my stay quite memorable. I think, I’m okay to recommend this hotel for future reference.

Stayed in room 15. Rooms need updating, things were falling apart and general wear and tear is not repaired. Mattress was not comfortable and shower being an electric power shower meant water was tempermental, being scorching hot or cold and issues with the water pressure. YH There was as an issue with checking in as hadnt been sent my code to open the lock box to get key to the room, this meant having to ring customer service. Continential Breakfast is ok pastries, coffee, fruit juice if you are not gluten free as no gluten free options available despite making a request months prior to our visit so had to bring my own. Location is great, about 1 mile walk into the centre of Edinburgh. No parking at location but parking about 0.3 miles away. No member of staff seen except at breakfast. Little changes could make this place so much better
