We loved our stay. It’s basic, beds were comfortable and shower was great. Huge breakfast options included in our stay and was cheap! Bus right out the front but a taxi service was available through the front desk. £8 to the heart of Edinburgh. But can be walked in about 35 mins. Will definitely stay here again

The hotel services the room every 7 days unless you pay extras. There was no toiletries, the decor was tired, staff in need of training on what good customer service looks like. and cleaniness was definitely dubious.

Would recommend

Overall, a positive experience. Although check in was slow and our room was not ready, we were accommodated nicely with a very quiet room, thank you to the man on reception who calmly sorted this. It was not nice or professional to hear him being told off for how he dealt with an issue with an other guest.

Great Location, Stunning Views, and Excellent Staf

⸻ Great location with a stunning view of the river, and a beautiful little park and village nearby with lovely architecture. It’s only about a 25-minute walk from Waverley Station, which was very convenient. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful – from the reception desk to the cleaning staff, everyone was excellent. The hotel itself was very clean and we had a really good stay. Some areas, such as the toilets, are starting to look a little dated, but overall it was well kept and spotless. Absolutely satisfied with the experience and would happily stay again.

Stayed in the windowless room - the sheets had a suspension red coloured mark on them, yellow stains on the floor around the toilet (which I wouldn’t normally care about). But the constant banging of doors that felt like they were right next to our heads as we “slept” was too much.
