Do not opt for a “windowless” room. The rooms are in a maze in the basement. The hotel is not in its prime and its in a residential neighborhood not close to any places for food or drinks. Hotel was very overpriced for what was provided.

This hotel was a long way from any public transport. The rooms were extremely dated. The hot water went from hot to scalding and stayed that way. Staff were friendly. There was nowhere to eat at night within walking distance as hotel restaurant was closed due to inability to get staff.

For a reasonable priced hotel for edinburgh compared to many others it was absolutely perfect for what me and my wife wanted and needed. Its obviously not going to be the ritz 5 star because f the price but it was clean, tidy, great parking and central location. When coming back to edinburgh again we will definitely be back inthe future. Dont be put off by some other negative reviews
