Dated rooms.

The hotel is well located for the zoo, city centre and airport with very good bus services to and from the city centre. The breakfast was good and the staff friendly. However the rooms are very dated, particularly the bathroom which urgently requires refurbishment and modernisation. We had a ‘premium’ room which, was not very premium.

Overpriced for our stay

Not impressed really at nearly £200 we had no Wi-Fi, one large bath towel between us. The smart tv obviously didn’t work due to the fact we had no Wi-Fi. Wouldn’t of cared that much but wife was poorly on the day of the trip so we only went out for a few hours in the afternoon and thought we’d just relax in the hotel. At £195 you expect the minimum or Wi-Fi and a full set of towels. It’s a great example of when hotel prices are inflated in the area you end up massively overpriced stays for average hotels. All in all the hotel is fine, I just wish I didn’t bother on this particular weekend as i don’t feel the hotel/room was worth anymore than £120 max! I work away and stay in hotels most of the week so I know what fair prices are for average hotels

The hotel is ideally situated between the airport and city centre. It’s about 15 minutes by car into the centre of Edinburgh, however there is a bus stop directly outside the hotel on the main road which takes you directly through to Edinburgh Waverley station. We wanted to visit the zoo so it was a perfect choice for us. Check in was quick and easy, the front desk is friendly and very helpful. Our rooms were clean, quiet and amply stocked with tea and coffee. Towels were abundant and housekeeping did a light clean of the room everyday. We had a decent sleep, the hotel itself is fairly quiet however our rooms overlooked a car park and occasionally we would be disturbed by the sounds of work vans in the morning- we had the windows cracked open so you can always close them and turn on the a/c if needed. Breakfast was standard with hot and cold options available. The hotel also offers a selection of Starbucks coffees to purchase and these are available all day. Overall our stay was very pleasant and I would recommend to anyone considering this as a place to stay.

"Very noisy – the room has poor soundproofing, and I could hear the neighbors talking until midnight. The room is small, and the bathroom design is inconvenient – water splashes out easily when showering. The corridor looks old, lighting is dim, and there’s no fridge in the room. Overall, it feels more like a 3-star hotel. Staff were not helpful or friendly."
