Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some issues with the room, such as a broken window, curtains in poor condition, and a bad smell. Breakfast was only served in a basket, so no full English available. However, the service was prompt and efficient in addressing problems like Wi-Fi. The location was good, with easy access to the city center and attractions. The dining experience was average but with room for improvement in portion sizes. Overall, some positives mixed with some negatives.
The hotel had mixed aspects with a spacious room and friendly staff but lackluster maintenance and cleanliness issues. The location was convenient for amenities but difficult for parking. Dining offered some nice touches but also had slow service and unpleasant food. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel was small but very clean and light, with a good shower. We found the honesty bar to be a thoughtful idea and well-stocked. The breakfast was an additional £7 if booked.
I found this hotel to be a great choice for my stay. The lovely twin beds and spacious closet in the room were a nice touch, but being right next to the neighboring apartment block wasn't ideal. The service was fantastic, especially with the help in arranging the romance package. The location is good, not perfectly centered but within a walkable distance to the old town, and the dining experience had a good healthy selection despite some underwhelming items. Overall, a decent value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, the location was great, offering a balance between access to the city center and a quieter environment. However, the room size was a bit disappointing, and dealing with a lingering odor was definitely a downside. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel had clean and spacious rooms, but noise from outside was noticeable and no storage for suitcases. The location was great, within walking distance of main attractions, but surrounded by student residences. The dining options were good, but the seating was uncomfortable. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.
I found the hotel to be a delightful place with some small drawbacks. The rooms, though cozy, were a bit smaller than expected. The service was friendly and helpful, but the dining experience had some room for improvement. The location was convenient for exploring the city, and overall, it offered good value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and train station, offering comfortable rooms and friendly service. However, noise from the laundry room can be disruptive, and the breakfast quality may vary. The proximity to key attractions makes it a good choice for a short stay.
Staying at this hotel was such a cozy experience with beautifully decorated, relaxing rooms and a well-stocked honesty bar. The service was top-notch, with helpful, friendly, and professional staff. The location, while a bit aged, is quiet and within walking distance to the city center. The dining had its ups and downs but ultimately offered first-class French toasts. Overall, a lovely stay.
The hotel is conveniently close to the city center, offering a bit of tranquility at night. The rooms were comfortable and a pleasure to relax in, even after a sleepless flight. The service was exceptional, with courteous and helpful staff throughout our stay. The dining options were good, although some basic choices were missing from the menu. The location, with easy access to bus stops and both the old and new town of Edinburgh, was a great advantage, despite ongoing construction nearby.
