Good Value

Good hotel. Staff very helpful. Bags may be left, before or after check in/out time but for a small charge £1 each bag. Free at other hotels. Check out time of 10am is early compared with others. Good value. Parking is chargeable. Optional breakfast charge is a bit high compared to other hotels.

We liked the location and cleanliness of the room. However the duvet was very thin and I was freezing. The receptionist was not very welcoming. Breakfast was awful. Food was lukewarm or inedible due to being over cooked. No bread or rolls available. Extremely poor

I really enjoyed my stay, coffee machines not working in breakfast. Staff very helpful and friendly. My room was clean and comfortable. My friend paid the same room rate for same type room but didn’t get the same facilities as me in the room. Breakfast was good but once on the plate it went cold quickly. Plenty of choice. Easy walking distance of princes street, trams and busses. I have stayed before and I didn’t enjoy it. 2nd chance and it was really good for cost and I will book again.
