We had a wonderful time in Edinburgh. The hotel was in a great spot, close to the city centre and a retail park. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were very helpful, always willing to assist and made our stay really enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a great time!
Had a fantastic weekend getaway! The room was perfect, and the view was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful, location was easy to get to city centre
A great base for exploring Edinburgh. The hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to the city centre by bus. Breakfast was tasty and the staff were exceptionally helpful. Would definitely stay again!
Great service! The staff really went above and beyond to accommodate our early arrival, even offering us breakfast and luggage storage. Lee at reception was especially helpful and friendly. The room itself was decent, a little dated but comfortable.
Really enjoyed our two-night stay! The location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh; the bus into town was easy and convenient. Our room was comfy, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good too!
