7.6/10 Good! (944 reviews)
Not dirty but older and worn, building. The room itself was cute and clean, awkward bathroom set up but super comfy bed made up for that! Safe area with lots of food options nearby. Didn’t try the on-site breakfast, appreciated the snacks/bar options at desk though!

9/10 Wonderful! (305 reviews)
Nice room, great people. Shinta on the day staff was very accommodating and very kind. The night staff loves John Waters. The breakfast folks were the right kind of curmudgeons. Perfect location for shopping, local and international eats and for museums and siteseeing. A short walk away from the airport bus stop at Queen Station. Trains to Edinburgh run every half hour from the same station. Perfect home base.

"Until standardisation of weights and measures in the 18th century, a "mile" in Scotland could be a variable distance. Generally a Scottish mile was longer than a mile in England, a fact which was immortalised by Robert Burns in his poem "Tam o' Shanter" - "We think na on the lang Scots miles..." After the Union of the Parliaments in 1701, the standard English measure began to be introduced in Scotland, gradually replacing the Lang Scots Mile. The Lang Scots Mile Walk was created in 2002 on the seafront of Ayr to commemorate the town's historical links with Burns as well as to encourage healthy exercise. It was estimated that a 10 stone man or woman walking Lang Scots Mile would burn off 115 calories and a 16 stone person, 184 calories."
