The receptionist (Casey) was wonderful! Other than that, the place was questionable. Our key card didn’t work, and we had to get it reset every day, the toilet was full of brown liquid the whole time, no fan in the bathroom so it got insanely steamy, bathroom had rust, and the bed had hairs on it. It didn’t feel super clean, but for the price it was an okay stay. If you want a budget option, it’s fine just be prepare for some odd things!

I drove eight hours from Plymouth and arrived just after 7pm. I was told the kitchen was closed but i could have crisps or chocolate from behind the bar. My room was ok but i had people next door being very noisy through the night. A green safety light in the bedroom made it difficult to sleep. The staff were pleasant but I wouldn't recommend a stay in general.

Great budget hotel

This hotel has some very unfair reviews, its a BUDGET hotel and as such I have reviewed it as that. Its a little dated and the checkin wasn't particularly welcoming but it was clean and tidy and my room had everything I needed. For £60 for the night for a twin room it was perfect. Bathroom clean and shower/bath good water pressure with plenty of hot water. Excellent proximity to the city centre

Cant give a full review,as was short stay from a delayed flight. Reception on arrival,was good,straight forward and helpful. The price,also good at £42 for edinburgh, Room basic and dated,but then you cant expect much for what youve paid They may have better rooms, For a stop over one night stay,it did the job.

Rooms are spacious but are quite tired looking, our room had very noisy floors so every time you walked they creaked loudly, on 1st floor do not sure if it would also annoy ground floor occupants. Bar very limited , staff cleaning draft pipes at 8pm so no draft available, not a very comfy bar area , no atmosphere. Room did have a fridge which is handy if staying longer and near Haymarket too. Stay was fine but rooms overpriced but all are when the rugby is on.
