Lovely staff tired room.

Lovely warm staff, room looked a bit tired, splash marks on the walls, veneer peeling off bathroom units, chipped bath. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Slightly disappointed that the restuarant didn’t serve any Scottish dishes at all or have any cask ales (particularly as it is a Marston’s pub).

The hotel is close to the shopping area of Livingston. It has everything that you would need, from good parking, to fabulous food next door in their restaurant to easy EV charging facilities. The room is comfortable, with everything you need, kettle, TV, free WiFi. Highly recommended.

The staff were mostly friendly. No wash clothes. No extra toilet paper. The front desk is in the restaurant next door so there is no one near by for assistance. No elevator either, so we had to carry luggage up/down stairs.

Pleasant stay.

We had a 3 night comfortable stay at hotel. The room was clean, spacious and well prepared. Had dinner from the pub every night and their food was great and reasonably priced. There wasn't much needed from the staff but they were friendly professional and helpful when needed. We found the location to be immensely ideal when visiting Edinburgh. 6-7 minute to Livingston North train station with free parking, 2 big shopping centres with many eating options in walking distance,Starbucks right in front. I would like to suggest the management to pay little attention to the middle access door to the rooms which is noisy specially when there is a lot of guests movement. Maybe a soft close mechanism would mitigate the issue. Also the cosmetic appearance of the rooms could be improved. It would also be a bonus to provide family rooms with some wardrobe, specially for the ones staying few nights. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at hotel.

Staff at check in were nice and friendly. Id travelled a ling way and was tired. Unfortunately my room was on the ground floor beside the front door and it was extremely noisy, banging all night off and on from the door, there didnt seem to be any soft close or spring to quieten its closing. The bed was very comfortable but the room cleanliness was not great, dirty floor lots of marks on walls and dust. Maybe a refurbish is due.
