We were only staying for the one night. Found the staff very attentive especially the guy on the reception desk. Good parking. Convenient for a short taxi ride into town. Finishing off with a good breakfast in the morning.

Pleasant Stay
It is not a 5 star hotel, but it is warm, comfortable and friendly and is in a great location - away from the city centre but bus stop nearby and a 15 minute taxi journey.

A bit of a mixed review. Room was large with good sized bathroom but was outdated and in need of some repair. Also quite stuffy with windows unable to be opened fully. Plenty of parking available and a local bus just metres away. A nice bar and the beds were comfortable

It was cute, quaint, picturesque, and smelled nice. The staff were wonderful, especially the guy at the front desk. He made me laugh a lot and he was fun to talk to. It was a super welcoming and safe feeling place. The view of Edinburgh was also very pretty. And they gave me shortbread cookies several times. And they had a hotel cat that I got to pet, it was adorable. Loved it ❤️

The hotel is currently being refurbished, this was not made to us at time of booking, which was disappointing. The room was large, with a modernish bathroom. While the room was clean, the carpet was in a very poor state and the curtains were ripped. The bed was uncomfortable as were the pillows! The price that we paid certainly did not reflect on the poor state of the furnishings.
