The room was clean, but very cold when we arrived at 5 Oclock. Itcwould have been good if tge heating had been on for our arrival.We had a meal in the restaurant, it was very nice and staff were friendly. When we got back to our room at 7 oclock the heating was on and room had warmed up. The bed was 2 singles put together unfortunately one of the matresses was very uncomfortable the other matress was good. We were in room 5.

The rooms in the hotel are nice and clean. It was a bit noisy with a singer on in the bar, his volume was ok it was some of the guests who were enjoying themselves that were very loud. Breakfast was fantastic, lovely fresh hot food. Shame there was no orange juice. Will certainly recommend and stay again if the opportunity arises.

Cute place

Really nice location if you are looking for a place to stay around Edinburgh and parking was a plus. The rooms were clean and cute, however the water in the shower was nowhere warm enough and during the first night there was a lot of noise coming from the adjacent room (every time someone opened the door next to our room it felt like they were coming into our room instead which made it difficult to sleep) although all ok the other nights

8/10 Very good

It’s an ideal place to stay to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including Portobello, being far enough out of the city for a bit of peace and quiet. Everything you need is easily within reach. Dinner was tasty enough and the beer went down well. Staff were very friendly and there if you needed them for the most part. A fantastic price, easy to get to, I would be happy to stay here again no problem.
