Gorgeous room, and the bus stop outside had direct links into the centre of Edinburgh. The bar downstairs was a bit loud during the evenings but was likely just due to the World Cup! Amazing place to stay.

Our room was large - excellent shower and all clean. Bed was very comfortable, although the base needed attention - looked quite unsightly with chipboard showing. Had an excellent evening meal. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Staff were lovely. Got us into our room as soon as the housekeeper had finished cleaning it. Bed was a little softer than preferred and there was an event in the function room that was quite noisy until just past midnight but otherwise a comfortable stay and convenient bus stops into the city right outside.

Room was kept clean, as was the rest of the building. Access to the restaurant and bar was great. The hotel itself was also nearby lots of other places that was nice for our stay, such as other restaurants, the bus stop, grocery store and the beach. It was a nice place to stay away from the busyness of Edinburgh, but still access the city through a 20-30 minute but ride. Only negative was the mattress wasn't in amazing condition

The accommodation is ok and the room looks nice but then you lay on the bed you can feed very spring etc and makes for not a good sleep. The bathroom looks ok until you need to wash in that basin aka bird bath as it's that small, also quite a lot of mould on the ceiling and window curtains. I paid £100 for the night and would expect body wash/shampoo to be included but it was not to be. Very poor and wouldn't return.

Nice hotel, small but clean room. No bath just shower which we didn’t mind but only had soap so if staying longer would need to bring own toiletries. Staff are nice & friendly and great customer service. Nice pub down stairs with live music at weekend & TV for sports. Close to public transport (bus & train). Free Wi-Fi.
