Excellent service

Very friendly welcome and excellent service throughout my stay. The building is older, with character, so don't expect soulless corporate style.

Good value accommodation

Pleased overall with our stay. Ensuite was rather 'tight' but plenty of hot water and toiletries. Large double bed was a bit too soft for us. Overall well situated with easy access to the city with an excellent bus service. A big bonus was the free parking.

4/10 Fair

Old and dirty hotel.

Run down and dirty. The matress was sunken so badly that I felt like sleeping on a tub. Got up with very bad back pain. Definitely not worth the money.
janey, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a quiet hotel away form the hustle and bustle but right on the doorstep of the same. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was really pleasant and clean and the bed was very comfortable.
Karen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is in a good location in south Edinburgh, with car parking and frequent buses into the centre. The rooms are fine - as expected at this price. The staff are polite and helpful.
