Clean and compact room offers good value for money. Staff are welcoming, and the pub offers excellent meals. The location is not too far from Edinburgh Airport and a pleasant 25-30 minute walk to my meeting at Heriot-Watt University. It's also on the #44 busline for access to Edinburgh, and only a 15 minute walk from a train station where I could catch a local train to Glasgow.

Dedicated free parking at the back & a bus stop out front which takes you straight into Edinburgh until very late. The food was delicious & the locals friendly. Bedrooms have smart TV’s which is miles ahead of most hotels/inns. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone choosing to visit Edinburgh
