Sadly the hotel was not worth how much we paid. The room was cold, storage heaters meant the heating only came on when you put the card in the slot. We go moved no problem but we paid for a premium room and sadly it wasn’t that. Staff were helpful and dinner in the restaurant was lovely. Breakfast was disappointing being served brown avocado on toast. Breakfast not worth the extra money.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Avoid, hotel stinks and is run down.

All rooms in this hotel have one category: twin, rundown and stinky. We booked a double bed for a higher rate and on arrival were given a twin room. They did not offer to move us to our category or even join the beds, since that's all they offer. Following a claim they also refuse to refund the difference. The smell of mold in this place is borderline hazardous. The fire alarm went off twice in the early morning, with no rush to investigate as it seemed like a common occurrence to staff. There were several broken fixtures, including the handle for our window. Breakfast was standard, but slow.

Hotel is looking very tired. Badly requires an update. Hotel was also very expensive for what it was. Food also very expensive (£23 for a burger and chips) Majority of rooms that we were in were dirty. Not impressed and won’t be staying there again.

Great Stay

Stayed one night as a family before heading to airport. Rooms a little tired but clean and very spacious. Comfortable beds and quiet. There was an event on when we stayed and when we walked to our room I was very worried we'd hear it in our room but heard absolutely nothing. Staff were exceptional and great with the children. Swimming pool which was great too. We would definitely stay again.

Hotel is lovely. Large room. Free parking. Restaurant on site. Perfect for an overnight before an early flight out of Edinburgh Airport. It is less than 7 miles away.
