Angelia, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff are great, they really look after you. Was disappointed that the hotel is not doing brakfast anymore, but other than that all good.
Peter, 3-night trip

8/10 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.

8/10 Good

Room was a bit cold but it was very spacious with a large and comfortable bed. Unfortunately, no breakfast on weekdays. Dinner was good and not overpriced.
Trish, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was busy for drinks and food when we arrived to check in. Unfortunately no breakfast available. The room was massive , no noise ,and we had a great sleep. I would recommend it if you could do without breakfast. Fairly quiet at night with the bar closing at 10. We enjoyed it though and would go back.

Mrs R M, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Wonderful except mattress was uncomfortable
Stacy, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

I’ve stayed previously but won’t be back . No hot water for shower and unable to make a hot drink due to faulty kettle. No breakfast availability either as hotel not staffed overnight or early am. I stayed Sunday night. I know it’s a budget hotel but if it says you are able to make tea/coffee then that should be the case and hot water is not a luxury

Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room decor is good and new, shower excellent. Breakfast cooked fresh and service great. Evening meal was ok, again service good. Areas to improve, mattresses, felt very well used, lumpy as were pillows, did not match room standard. Room cleanliness needs some work, cobwebs, eyelash on floor, bed not made when out of room. Live music Friday and Saturday night quite loud in room as was post clean up staff voices till well after midnight.
