We had a pleasant stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a short visit. It's a simple, no-frills place with basic amenities.
Sound proofinf isn't that fantastic. We had some inconsiderate neighbours.
The breakfast was good, with a nice selection to start the day. Continental buffet breakfast set up with cooked english breakfast available on demand.
The location is a little further out from the city centre if you plan to walk. That said, outside the front is a bus stop for the No.44 bus, which was convenient. Ample reasonable paid parking for guests.
A disappointment was that the restaurant is only opened for breakfast and not dinner. There are limited choice of restaurants nearby. You will need to get into the city, nearby Portobello or Duddingston. The bar operating hours also varies. It is generally not opened at night. There is also no coming lounge area to sit and have a chat.
One thing worth noting for international travellers is that air conditioning isn't a standard amenity in many UK hotels, so it's always worth checking before you book if that's important to you. A fan would have been appreciated during the warmer weather. Also, don't assume there will be a bar fridge in the room, as refrigerators are not commonly provided either.
Overall, if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay without the extras, this is a solid choice.
