Well situated clean and friendly hotel.
Lovely clean hotel, run by friendly attentive staff. Great location on a main road.
A brisk walk gets you into the West End of Edinburgh in 20 minutes.
It’s an ideal spot.

The staff were lovely, but the stay was not worth the money. There were many woodlice in my room, the bed was uncomfortable, with a tough pillow and thin duvet, and the bed cover was old and stained. I paid £90 with parking but without breakfast. Would not stay again for that price. Location was suitable.

We packed 5 people into a 2 bedroom suite and were very comfortable. Great spot with bus stop right out front and near so many neat places to eat and shop. The walk to Old Town is a little over a mile, but so worth it. We had a drink in the Cumberland pub and had a nice chat with the help. Would stay here again!

Very nice, decent room, perfect for our needs, close to city center and airport. The only thing was that the fan in the bathroom and the little fridge were very noisy.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I found that everything was as advertised. The continental breakfast wasn't quite what I expected but I appreciated the convenience of eating on site. It was close to the tram & train stations and right across the street from a bus stop so very easy to get around. I would stay again on a future trip.
