No 6 West Coates is not really what i would consider a hotel, it's more like an airbnb. We recived our room key via emailed instructions, and we never saw any staff the entire time we were there. This hotel was was bearable for the two nights we spent there, but if we had been staying in Edinburgh longer, I would have found other accommodations. The building is old and in need of renovations for the prices they charge. The room was ok, but not the cleanest. The bed was also not comfortable. I like a firm mattress, but even I found it too hard. There's no air con, which we expected, but the windows only opened about six inches and we had to find something to put in them to keep them propped up so air could get in. There was no fan in the room, so I wouldn't recommend staying here in warm weather. The bathroom was fine, but again, had to prop open the window to let steam out. The room did not have any lamps or fixtures with USB ports, so make sure you have a plug adapter if you're traveling from outside the UK. We had to go to the Tesco Express down the street, and luckily they had one. No mini-fridge in the room, but there was a refrigerator in the common room on the ground floor. The location is pretty good. The tram and train station is about a 10 minute walk, and the main part of town is about 20 minutes. Might not be convenient for someone with mobility issues. Overall, for 300£ for 2 nights, I would not stay here again. There are nicer options for the price.
