Great stay

Lovely room, ideal location. Breakfast was lovley and staff are very friendly. The room was clean and in very good condition. The radiator was on when we arrived however and it was so incredibly hot! Luckily it was easy to switch off and the window and fan helped cool the room down.

From Yorkshire to Edinburgh :)

We stayed for our anniversary and we didnt actually realise until bed time that wed actually been upgraded to a queen size bed, which was absolutely blissful! So thank you for this. We spent half our holiday in bed. Cannot fault the cleanliness or room. Spotless. Had all the facilities we needed: kettle, tea etc, ironing board, luggage rack, hairdryer, towels. I did ring down to reception to ask for room service but other than for towels etc, they dont do this. I wanted to order some drinks but they dont do any food or drink room service or any service, other than purchasing pop or hot drinks at reception. If they had food and drink this would definitely be a fantastic 5 star review. Maybe look in to this? Even if its just sandwiches and crisps? The room was perfect. I did have trouble falling asleep though. We were room 304 and theres no view other than a uni builiding or something behind which has massive generators whirling all night. Even with window closed and curtains shut it was so noisy, but I got used to it after the first night. The queen bed definitely helped as I was too comfy to complain. If you have children or a light sleeper this side of the building isnt good for noise. I was extra cold the 2nd night and asked at reception for a blanket, 5 minutes later they brought a queen size blanket up which was soooo comfy and warm. Heating is controllable in the room. Nice and toasty. Great shower. Bed is in a great position for the TV. Breakfast fab!!

Lovely stay, staff were very accommodating and friendly. Rooms could do with a little refurb but can’t really complain given the price we paid to be in Edinburgh so was really good value for money. Breakfast was spot on too.

It wasn’t OK stay. It’s central, and the Room had everything I need. Not giving this five stars, because the cleanliness could’ve been a little bit better. There was a hair on my shower wall and some places where the facilities were clearly weathered. Skip breakfast IMO.
