Incredibly located on the Cowgate, the Stay Central was a short walk to anything you could want to see in Edinburgh. Very clean, updated, and comfortable, I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Edinburgh!

We have been travelling for more than 40 years, and my wife and I both agree, that this is possibly the best place we've stayed. Modern and clean rooms, and a short walk to the Royal Mile. There is also a great bar/restaurant downstairs.

If you’re looking for a party, this is the hotel for you! Music in the evenings, big screen watching of sports events, lots of young people hanging out. If you’re looking for a quiet night’s rest, suggest you avoid this place as the music goes late into the evening.

The hotel was well located, but our room was very noisy during the Fringe festival: their is an outdoor dancing next to the building. We heard music every night till 3am. Our room cards stopped working 5 times during our visit, so we had to visit the reception often. Elevator was broken for a day which meant you had to find your way through a labyrinth of stairs and corridors. Breakfast was OK, but when you went around 10:30 most of it was already gone.

Very noisy until the early hours of the morning with a local disco next door. The double bed was very small

Perfect place to use as a base for exploring. Next door to a very lively bar so don’t expect perfect quiet. Though we managed to sleep no problem.

This hotel is NOT family friendly. The "disco" bar next to the hotel is open until 5am and has no semblance of a decent decibel to their music. No where on any website does it state that some of there rooms are directly above the bar (which ours was). The hotel has agreements with the bar so they inherently have a FLAWED business model. Their answer to the music is to "provide you earplugs". Talk about a lack of care for their patrons. I think they could easily spend a little money to completely soundproof the areas where people are trying to sleep. In addition to the music, we really "appreciated" the bar fight with the bouncers at 345am. If we would have known about the bar or the chance that we would have to compete our sleep with moronic drunk bar patrons, I would absolutely have booked elsewhere. And would recommend anyone else do so as well.

It's a very good Hotel with great location, the Very Very bad thing is that is next to a Disco-Bar with super loud music until 2 or 3 a.m.. It was so loud that our room vibrated.
