I was really disappointed with my stay at Lyncliffe Hotel. The accommodations felt more like a hostel than a hotel. The conditions were not comfortable, especially for the price we paid. It's hard to believe that a place like this can still be called a hotel. I honestly felt like I paid too much for such poor standards.

I was quite disappointed with my stay at this hotel, which was more like a hostel than a true hotel. The room was cramped and shared facilities were not what I expected for the price of £75 per night. The decor was outdated and the overall condition of the room was quite poor. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Edinburgh.

I was really disappointed with my stay at the hotel. The room was cramped and not at all what I expected for the £75 per night rate. Shared facilities were inconvenient, and the overall condition of the place felt very run-down. It’s frustrating because I’ve seen much better accommodations for similar prices elsewhere.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing, as it felt more like a rundown hostel than an actual hotel. The shared amenities and cramped room left a lot to be desired for the price we paid. I really expected more for £75 a night, considering I've stayed in much nicer places elsewhere for the same rate.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. The standard was far below what I'd expect for any hotel, let alone one charging £75 per night. The room was cramped and not comfortable at all, with shared facilities that felt more like a hostel than a hotel. I left feeling that I'd paid far too much for such a poor experience.

My experience at the Lyncliffe Hotel in Edinburgh was quite disappointing. The room was cramped and poorly maintained, resembling more of a hostel than a hotel. The shared bathroom setup was less than ideal for the £75 per night price. The design was outdated and not very welcoming. It's definitely not what I expected for that cost.

I was really disappointed with my stay at Lyncliffe Hotel in Edinburgh. The room was cramped with a shared toilet and shower, which I didn't expect for the price I paid. The décor was outdated, with strange wallpaper and a bed positioned right against the window. At £75 per night, I felt it was way overpriced for the quality provided. I can't believe this place still calls itself a hotel.

My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. The facilities felt more like a hostel than a hotel, with shared toilets and showers, and a cramped room that couldn't even block out the bright daylight. The décor was outdated, making the whole place feel like a dump. At £75 per night, the experience was far from worth it.
