We booked this place for our one night stay in Edinburgh. As the storm made disruptions to the trains and buses we were unable to travel to Edinburgh and the hotel was so unhelpful in this process and didn’t accommodate change of date or a refund. It’s shameful to have zero understanding of natural disasters and treat them like normal situations. Will not recommend this place at all

We loved this hotel! Perfect place to stay for couple of days. Was very clean and very easy to find. Couple min walk from any kind of transport. So many cafes and nice local pubs and restaurants around. Would definitely recommend.

Poor nights sleep

The room was very small, smallest I’ve stayed in at a hotel. We did not sleep well due to a light flashing from the smoke alarm flashing non stop every minute. We reported this only to be told they knew it was faulty before letting the room to us and told there was nothing they could do. It is hard to understand how the staff thought this was ok, or why they did not have a maintenance team who could fix the problem in a timely way. Having a bad nights sleep is unacceptable. The room was clean enough, the shower was good. The windows where very dirty and there was scaffolding outside the window. I would not stay here again and would not recommend.
