Ashkirk Trip

Excelente ciudad y excelente hotel!

Expedia fails in communicating what the Stay Central website does that this property wraps around a very loud nightclub. After sifting through many hotel options, we picked this one to accommodate 4 separate sleeping arrangements. We didn’t click through to explore the hotel’s own website which states that it can be very loud and earplugs are provided. The reality is that music begins in the afternoon and plays past midnight daily. Earplugs weren’t sufficient for me to block the bass and noise-cancelling airpods aren’t comfortable to sleep. So it was a restless sleep during our stay. The second issue was that the wifi didn’t extend throughout our room. The staff was excellent at trying to help but ultimately I believe the owner/manager didn’t believe us. When the provided solution (log into the staff wifi which was also a single bar of wifi that didn’t work) failed to work, we gave up complaining. Because our daughter needed white noise to sleep over the sound of the nightclub, we needed to download tracks while in the hallway or reception. We were in the Large room and I believe the XL room is a similar proximity to the nightclub. Perhaps the smaller rooms that run the length between are more nestled away from noise.

Nice place, nice staff, limited amenities. For amenities you have to go to the sister hotel a few doors down.

Great location in Edinburgh at the top of Victoria Street. Very helpful staff. Lovely modern room with amazingly comfortable bed.
