Lovely spot. Friendly staff. Just need better lighting in the room. Dark in the day. I get it-can’t put ceiling lights on high ceiling, but put a lamp next to the wall in the middle of the room !

If driving, sort out parking before you arrive! The hotel has a discount code if you pre-book in the Q-park Omni. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the car park so would recommend briefly parking outside the hotel when checking in and unloading suitcases.

All of the staff we interacted with could not have been more helpful, especially the receptionists. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed breakfast in the terrace in the morning and the bar in the evening! It’s perfectly located to explore Edinburgh and has loads of easy transport links nearby. Would definitely recommend.

The rooms are large and spacious. It was a long steep walk from Edinburgh Railway station to the hotel therefore not suitable for people with mobility problems. There are many dining options within 500 m of the hotel. The breakfast was quite adequate.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The images in the listing are very misleading… I was extremely let down with the state of the rooms when arriving in person, they were dated and not worth the price. The room had a heavy odorous smell to it which made staying in the room unpleasant. We got to experience a fire alarm at 12:30 in the morning which forced everyone out of the hotel and on the street in whatever clothes they could manage to put on and the following morning there was no hot water to shower before an 8hr flight home.

Location good for shopping areas and for the bus tours start point.Not too far to walk to most of the top attractions. Room big but tired looking . Curtains hanging off rail , carpets stained tea stains on the table. The kettle couldn’t be used next to the tea making station -no socket !The door difficult to shut and lock. The bed big and comfortable. Breakfast hit and miss - no plates , no bowls, coffee machine broken supplies of bread fruit etc not quickly replenished- mostly had to be asked for. The last day we were there a different breakfast crew that were much more attentive. Overall average with some good points.

We were traveling for our anniversary and a bucket of sodas on ice was sent to our room! It was a nice touch, and the front desk staff had so many helpful suggestions for activities and meals. The property was just slightly out of the way of how busy the city is, which was also nice.
