A nice hotel with an easy bus ride into Edinburgh which saved me from the effort of driving and parking in the city itself. We had one dinner and one breakfast in the hotel. Food was adequate but not particularly inspiring. The room was clean and comfortable. Good value and location for visiting the city.
The receptionist Laura and Therese were very helpful and friendly. The only thing i didn't like was the big pillows crammed into small pillowcases. I had to take them out of the cases as otherwise I would've thought that I was sleeping on a brick. I told the Manager about it. But nothing was done.
Great for Heriot Watt Uni and Research Park, nothing close though if you want to eat/drink elsewhere.
I was allocated an accessible room, it was huge and the air-con was very effective. Clean and tidy.
Breakfast was basic but fine for the price and available until 10am which is handy.
Free Parking a real advantage.
Great place to stay in Edinburgh if you are not wanting to stay in the extreme tourist area.
But it would take you a while to get to those places from here.
It was a fairly good hotel. Comfortable bed and friendly staff. The room was an accessible one (we have no disabilities) which meant it was not particularly comfortable for us. We also had booked 2 nights here on our own and had a third one through a tour company for the start of a month long driving holiday we booked through a third party. Communication was not great and we wound up with the room not serviced at all for our third night. Disappointing.
It’s near/in a beautiful university sight. There’s not much to do as far shopping but you can go for a beautiful walk The staff from kitchen to reception was wonderful and attentive. Breakfast was wonderful. Great bar.
