Lovely modern hotel. Nice bar and restaurant. We weren't very hungry when we arrived but wanted something to eat. The selection of sandwiches was good and the ones we had were very tasty.
Good selection of food at breakfast.
Hotel was approx 35-40 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh, with a few things to look at along the way. There are bus stops nearby, but we choose to walk.
All the staff we had dealings with were very friendly and helpful
The Scholar was lovely and the staff were great.
My stay was made complete by the cheerful, glamorous & very beautiful Sophie this morning, she really brightened my morning!
Thanks
Steve
We were slightly disappointed with the building when we arrived however once we walked through the door we were very pleasantly surprised. The staff were extremely friendly, the decor was beautiful, our room was very spacious. We didn’t want for anything with beautiful shampoo conditioners and body wash. It was very peaceful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return.
Thank you to all the team for making us feel very welcome
Nice room, very nice & attentive staff. We had a slow shower drain that was reported and fixed right away. Breakfast was best of our trip across Scotland. Only negative was we had trouble with Uber and Bolt pickups. Everyone would pickup at "reception center" which we had trouble locating and made for several bad transit experiences. We finally found the reception center on our last day and it is a bit of a walk from the hotel desk/stairs where you typically exit daily.
Convenient accommodation for the university area of Edinburgh.
Check in was efficient, unfortunately our room keycard hadn’t been programmed properly necessitating return to reception.
Hotel was quiet but be aware that hotel is within student residential campus so late at night was a bit noisy as “students were being students” outside.
Our room had a couple of minor issues, the floorboards were very creaky, didn’t bother us but may have been as issue for guests in room below. One of dormer windows in the room didn’t close properly.
Brilliant staff and great hotel. I’ve been returning here for years with my wife for our anniversary only slight hick up is that the breakfast is no longer order at the table and it’s a buffet which is only a small change but that does mean you have a more limited menu. Overall however great hotel and I will return
The location of this property was ideal for a brisk walk into Old Town or a hike up Arthurs's Seat. A very clean and comfortable place to stay that I will recommend to people in the future.
