Feedback about On The Walk Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
On The Walk offers spacious rooms, some featuring a Nescafé machine and mini-fridge, in a very convenient location close to a tram stop on McDonald Road and supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's. Many guests appreciate the easy access using a virtual key, and its proximity to restaurants, coffee shops and a Sicilian bakery on Arthur Street. It's a short walk to St James Quarter and Princes Street, though some guests have found the door handle mechanism a little tricky to use. Being near bus routes, including the no. 16 into the centre, and a short distance from attractions makes getting around easy.

poor cleanlinessineffective radiator
The cleanliness was not good. I found some hairs in the bathroom and under the bed. The room was pretty chilly. The radiator did not work very well. It wasn't a place you wanted to spend lots of time in, especially since it felt a bit dark.

Location good. Maintenance lacking

convenient locationinconsistent temperatureexcessive codes
the location is quite convenient with easy access to nearby supermarkets.
The hot water in the shower fluctuated wildly. it was difficult to set a consistent temperature. It went from cold to scalding with little warning. also, the room required three different access codes to enter the premises. this felt excessive and cumbersome.
