We stayed here and used as our base for Kiltwalk2025. I have stayed here in 2023 and knew I’d be back again. Amazing room. Spot on. High ceilings and spacious rooms which we loved. Staff are lovely and full of knowledge. Beds are soooo comfy. Bathroom was huge. Will definitely be returning for a third time next time we are in Edinburgh!!

Had a good time here, staff cleaned room everyday. Cant complain about that. A room was comfortable but over crowded due to size. Easy to get ro town many options with buses and never had to wait long . I think a little more orientation of the place when checking in wouldheld didnt dind the garden untill ready to leave . Could use a safe in room do to being on ground level and window was broken. Good convenient place ro lay your head down . Thanks

Location. The bus stop into town was only 150 metres from the hotel. Numerous route options. Staff were very pleasant, offering help with luggage up the stairs. Novelty of naming rooms instead of numbering. The bathroom hot water took ages until warm enough.

Do not stay here

Horrendous manager / owner - completely ruined our trip to Edinburgh. Cancelled our room infront of us with no proof of refund given. Criminal actions to be honest and reporting the hotel to governing bodies.

Having to give my bank card details even though everything is already prepaid is very off putting and unwelcoming. Was told it was in case we used the mini bar or damaged anything. I insisted that they removed everything which is charged from the room. I never had my credit card so had to give my debit card details which I would never normally do. Was told I could not check in if I did not comply. The room had previous damage, cracked panes of glass in the window, both bedside lamps. Nothing stopping them from charging me for the damage that was already there. I am not comfortable with this at all. We booked the superior room which was a 4 poster bedroom and the room was also sent to us in the confirmation email. The room was not the same and there was no 4 poster bed. 2 people staying for 2 nights Yet, 1 hot chocolate and 1 bottle of water, 1 pack of biscuits. Surely it should be a minimum of 2 of each item. The shower mouldy and the fittings are damaged. One has come off completely. Clean room apart from the en-suite. Particularly the shower and very dusty radiator. Very comfortable beds Nice big room Pleasant reception staff despite my frustrations. They dealt with me well and were fully understanding. I would not stay here again due to them insisting on your bank details giving them the ability to charge you for things in the room.
