Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not very well-thought-out, and I was initially concerned about noise being by the front of the hotel. However, the room itself was warm, had a comfortable bed, and was spacious with everything I needed.
I had a cozy stay at this hotel in Edinburgh with very comfortable beds, and the convenience of free parking was a rare bonus.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room with a nice small bow window onto the garden was lovely to look out of, but unfortunately, it was dirty, including the walls, and the WiFi didn't work. However, the view of the back garden was pleasant. The service I received was excellent; the staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially guiding me to my room up the sweeping staircase. The location of the hotel was brilliant, just a 10-minute walk from the center, but the continuous humming noise from the boiler rooms was a downside. The dining experience was fantastic, though it would have been great if it had started earlier on weekdays. The facilities were good, but it's a shame the electric locking system didn't work properly.
My stay at the hotel was nice overall. The room was clean and spacious with good decor and comfortable bedding, although the shower was a bit small. The staff was helpful, especially with organizing a taxi for us. The location was convenient, with easy access to the city center via a regular bus service nearby. The dining experience was a mixed bag, with some dishes not meeting expectations, but the cafe downstairs was decent. The facilities were satisfactory, offering what was needed for a comfortable stay.
