The room had a bad smell , booked a double room and had a small double bed , the shower constantly backed up and was either freezing or boiling and had no water pressure and made a loud rattling noise whenever it was on and was also filthy. You could hear everything in the rooms around us and the could hear the people above us walking round the room all night.

Stayed for a few nights here and was meant to be a superior room, basically this just meant a bigger bathroom with wheelchair access. Sink was tiny and had a deep mirror rite above it so couldn't wash your face or have a wet shave without hitting head off the mirror. Was frustrating all coffees etc were kept in mugs, so if wanted hot drink had to empty all the contents out and only wooden sticks no spoons. Bar was great and staff good. However noise from bar was quite loud in rooms, especially pool table which was always used. Sadly not worth the price paid.

This is the type of hotel you’d need for getting your head down, nothing more. Very run down hotel and needs a complete upgrade. I’d say it was a 2*, double bed in room however only one chair, wooded floors in bedroom above and every step or creak heard, no room service during our four day stay except to asking if any essentials needed. There are plenty of hotels around with little extra money. The staff were very helpful and there is ample car parking.

The shower sealant was mouldy. The shower had zero water pressure. The toilet roll holder wasn’t properly attached to the wall and fell off. The door to the bathroom wasn’t the right size and hit the floor when you tried to open it, which is dangerous. The door to the bathroom also didn’t close properly and could only be closed if it was locked.

The mattress was a box spring and clearly at the end of its life because we could feel every single spring throughout the night. The room lacked visible sockets for hair dryer or straighteners.

There was no box to leave the key in when checking out. There was no staff on th desk either so I had to email and phone to ensure the key was received back.

Tracy and Julie particularly went out of their way to make sure my mum and me were comfortable during our stay. The food was good and the pub had great energy. Overall, if you’re okay with a bit of a small room this place is great for the value.

That’s one of the best hotels I’ve been to! What more could you ask for? A clean room, a safe place, a perfect restaurant with tasty food and perfect portions, and all at an affordable price! I’ve received two orders from Shein and thanks to the wonderful staff, they kept them safe and handed them to me upon my arrival! 😊 Literally all the staff are super friendly - the baristas, the restaurant’s waitress, room service, and the receptionist! And guys, they give you a chocolate with mint like a coin, it’s so cute (compliment, actually!) and tasty ☺️ Thank you for the perfect stay!

Good Stay

Good. I was a bit worried after reading the reviews however, it was cheap, cheerful, can’t really complain. Bed was a bit uncomfortable but for the price we paid, it’s hardly worth mentioning. Towels weren’t changed which is fine, but one was taken and not replaced which was a bit awkward. Staff were very helpful and pleasant, can’t fault them. We did require assistance at around 10pm one night and no one was on the desk, however, they may have been at the bar, I just didn’t try there, as it was not important enough for me to go searching for someone. Overall, if you want something cheap, near to the train station, St John’s hospital, and the shopping centre, it’s a bargain. One other thing, they don’t have Uber there because it was killing local taxi companies business, but they do have very cheap and efficient private taxis for around the same price point, the staff were very helpful and provided a few numbers. I would recommended if you’re looking for something affordable and somewhere to rest your head. It’s no frills, but worth the money.

No heat in the room that we could find but the hallway was very warm. We propped open our door and the room warmed up. Lighting on the outside of the building is poor. Luckily I had a small flashlight. Lots of walls etc Painted black so hard to see at night. Not far is a grocery store and Greggs (donuts and hand sandwiches). This hotel is a long ride to Edinburgh by taxi.

Disappointed with this hotel.

Our trip was to visit friends and we booked here to be close to them however the room was small and basic the bed wasn’t very comfortable and we didn’t see any reception staff except the trainee on our first day. Only the cleaners. It felt like a hostel with us having to lock the door when we left our room instead of an electric lock. And having a key pad to get in and out of the block. It was clean but our towels wasn’t changed for the 3 nights we stayed. Also our view was a block of residential flats straight across so we had our blind down all the time for privacy. Disappointed overall. And no breakfast at the hotel.

I booked this properly as it was only 15 minutes back To the airport drop off for my hire car following a 2 week holiday to Scotland, including Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands. The room, bar and restaurant were all right next to each other which was convenient and I was suprised how quiet it was when sleeping which was great.

The staff that served me at the reception and restaurant were all very polite, friendly and efficient and there was a good choice of meals on the menu.

The property is not too far from Edinburgh and the airport but in the close by area there is not much to do near close by to the hotel.

Good value well positioned hotel

2 night stay between flying back from a personal holiday and needing to be in Edinburgh for business so opted to stay locally instead of unnecessary mileage.

late arrival but no problem, reception called me about 11pm to check all was okay as they were about to handover to night staff.

room was overall very good, little tired in places but clean everywhere it needed to be, dusty on tops of skirting etc so some care/time in room prep missing, but bed was comfy, and plenty of room for clothes, reasonable sized bathroom (shower a bit underpowered but was warm and clean).

would I stay again, Yes.

No breakfast was available when I visited, however theirs a chain bakery a 2 min walk or a large shopping centre with fast food outlets about a 10min drive.
