    The man at reception was super friendly and helpful. The room was perfect and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was OK but when asked if I wanted coffee only filter came even though there was a proper coffee machine. Needed to know if there was an option even if it cost extra.

    The room and bathroom were huge! Loved the big soaker tub n the comfy bed. The fancy old school mansion style was also nice. Also enjoyed the breakfast. Location was just on the outskirts of the city center so it was nice n quiet but did require us to take a bus into the city center.

    The TV was super small and kinda far from the bed. So definitely need to upgrade the TV to match the size of the room n maybe relocate it because the bed frame post was in the way also.

    Clean. In a beautiful building . Fabulous continental breakfast. Parking space outside . Quiet . Comfortable.

    Nil but I missed the personal touch of having someone in reception to check in with . Had to use a self service check in system as no one on reception . Demonstrates the importance of the human !

    6Carly1985Posted on: 12-30-2025

    Ok, so for the money it was fine. A little far out from main attractions, but we knew that. The room had a fridge and toiletries were included... even a toothbrush.

    The bed. On the first night I had the worst night's sleep I had ever had. I almost booked another hotel for the second night, but then I read the reviews and someone said their bed was uncomfortable because the hotel had taken a mattress topper and folded it in half. That is what they had done here... took that off and the second night was fine. Breakfast was not good. Hot water was problematic the first night, but strangely ok the second night. But like I say the price is reasonable, so you get what you pay for.

    Perfect location for visiting Edingburgh University. A big room, with a comfortable bed and several seating options. Lovely breakfast.

    Part of one of the window frames was broken and the curtain was hanging off the rail. Also a dead plant on the outside steps on arrival. Just a little bit more attention to detail needed for a 4 star hotel rating.

    Staff were just lovely. Room was spotless and comfortable. Breakfast was first class.

    9WilderPosted on: 12-18-2025

    Friendly welcome with lots of information given. Nice, clean comfortable room. A really good selection for the continental breakfast that was included. Restaurant staff helpful and attentive.

    As older people we found the hotel a little too far from Edinburgh centre and had to rely on buses to get back and forth.

    I would have preferred the option of a cooked breakfast. This is what I thought we we getting when I booked . After booking it stated it was a continental breakfast

    I've never slept so far away from my husband. Two single beds put together with mattress topper over them, one soft mattress and the other firmNot what we expected. Plus side there is iron and ironing board in room , shower was amazing and they do provide shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. There are also sealed toothbrushes with mini toothpaste and a razor .The staff were all very nice and welcoming . Just expected a little more from our room for the money we paid. We purchased our own snacks and wine for the room as theirs were over priced.

    The venue was a really nice comfortable place to stay. The breakfast staff were friendly and attentive. The room was a good size and really nice. The location is about a 25 minute walk from the main centre for tourism but extremely accessible via bus transport. This venue is right beside Arthur's Seat which is a definite plus.

    Given the value for money there isn't anything to dislike.

    5EllaPosted on: 12-14-2025

    The location and beds were comfortable.

    There was a blood stain on the mattress and mold in the shower. There was a light missing with tissue stuck in the whole and felt like the whole place needed a good clean.

    Good location and friendly staff at breakfast

    Sadly there the room was filthy, the toilet hadn’t been cleaned (skid marks in it) and the sheets were dirty and ripped

    Location and the availability of drink and food in the room

    Dated and needs a bit of redecoration. Our shower head was broken.

    Breakfast, very little choice and ran out of food

    The location was amazing. Very close to the center of Edinburgh, only 10 minutes by bus.The breakfast wasn’t something special but it was exactly what you need to start your day.The staff was very helpful, answered all of our questions and also they provided us with new towels everyday.

    The beds are in need of improvement.Also the room , especially the bathroom wasn’t very clean.
