Very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was in decent condition. Some small toothpaste or soap stains on the bathroom floor and the radiator was a little weak. But had a good stay nonetheless. The location is nice and quiet. Not too far to drive to the city centre

Very good

Very good stay with no complaints. The breakfast was amazing, free carpark and closed to all amenities. Around just over half an hour walk to the castle of Edinburgh and there's also a bus stop right outside to get us to the centre. The check out should be at 12pm and not 11am... Apart from that, everything else was good and I will stay there again.

Average

The room was spacious but also freezing cold. I put on the electric heater which was not of much help. The central heating stopped at 10pm and didn’t resume til about 7am. Breakfast was served at 8am but I had a meeting at 9am meaning I skipped it and had something on the go.

Perfect for what I was looking for

Loved this hotel, my room gave me the wow that was looking for. If I had to pick at it I could only say that it just needed a bit of DIY, but over all it was just WOW
