Comfortable and friendly
Staying for a few nights whilst my bathroom is being renovated. Excellent facilities and friendly, helpful staff. Only issue was the shower, not particularly powerful and the temperature control was temperamental. But overall very satisfied and going to stay again for a few nights. Very convenient for work and home.

Comfortable stay
All in all a comfortable stay. Not much space in the room but perhaps if I had paid for a superior room space would have been greater. My wife had an evening meal which she said the Moules frites were nice but that the sticky toffee pudding was a bit of a disaster. Good price for what was on offer.

Stay was good, service in the bar was ok, food was not nice. I had the mussels which was in a nice sauce but the mussels themselves were dry and tough, the ham and cheese toastie was dripping in grease and the pizza had far too much cheese on it so was greasy and soggy

Fantastic Hotel!
Wonderful & friendly service! The location is perfect for easily and quickly traveling by bus to the tourist area of Edinburgh, without having to stay right in the middle of the crowds. Our room was clean and modern. There are plenty of outlets available, but bring your own adapters.
The breakfast was amazing, with so many options! We ate dinner there on two evenings. The food was fresh and delicious.
We would definitely stay here again!

Good room, paper thin walls
It was a little hard finding it but worth it. Disappointed that cash payment not available for food and bar and very disappointed parking was not included, discount offered though. Clean room but the noise from two rooms was very disappointing. No we didn’t say anything. We just had an extra early morning.

Very helpful staff
The room was lovely and clean. I had a problem with the parking machine but the staff came over and helped me.
Breakfast was plentiful although I only had two slices of toast plus a coffee.
Well worth the visit.

This property is situated out of the city but is on a bus route which is very convenient.
Rooms very small but that seems to be all of UK & Europe, difficult to open luggage because of lack of space.
As a single traveller I managed but not sure how two people would get on.

We were given a disabled room/bathroom, I have no recollection of requesting that when I booked online. The room had a strange smell which was like one of those candles people burn to hide tobacco smoke

Chose a room with a city view. Really lovely view of the city. Added bonus was capturing a rainbow over the city on camera on our last evening. Conveniently located for the retail park. Good bus service into city centre.
