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 Room was large with good sized bathroom but was outdated and in need of some repair.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 ❤️

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

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.

The bedroom was noisy due to poor condition of the window. The shower was really small. The carpets are thread bare. Lack of amenities. Breakfast was good. Location is a short Uber ride or a 40 minute walk.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

It was good, not far from the center and comfortable. They were so strict for checkin, happened 3 pm exactly although we arrived 1 pm. I feel they could be more helpful for those situations to look or prioritise the room to be ready, but they didn't. Also the room has no view at all, very bad view. The good thing was cleaness of the room and the bed was comfortable. The bus station is so close also.

Don't waste your money! ~£150/night for a dated, shabby (without the chic),small attic room. The 'shower' was more of a dribble! Poor food service, over-priced bad beer selection. Watch out for the automatic 10% service charge on the food bill too!
