Rooms were clean the room we had did not have a room and was very hot
Stayed here two weeks ago and had a lovely stay breakfast was at 7-00 till 10-00 and we went down at 7-00 and the hot and cold buffet was excellent. We stayed there last weekend on the 7th of march and was told the breakfast was at 7-00 till 10-00 we went down at 7-00 and was told the breakfast was at 7-30 as our train was at8-00 we left at 7-20 to catch the train the coffee machine wasn't even out need to get there act together and tell us the right time for breakfast
It was a decent stay. They were slow to provide room service. We had to ask multiple times for them to finally do it. The walls are also pretty thin so keep that in mind. The location was pretty good as well
Staff was kind and helpful
Room was clean- no maid service during stay but could go to front desk for more items
Breakfast is buffet and was not kept very hot
Only one or two outlets for charging
Rooms and hotel was dirty, smelled like mold, rooms were like a dungeon. It was a awful hotel. Only thing nice was the very friendly staff. I will never stay there again.

Was comfortable and clean enough. Fairly well situated for access onto Princess Street. Enough parking spaces.
Could do with a few more comfortable chairs for anyone using the bar.
It suited my needs for a one night visit.
The property was such a 'vibe' honestly, its a relief having a hotel window with a gorgeous view of a forest and river to wake up to! Also, an excellent working shower....not as common as it should be! Can't fault the venue and am so eager to come stay again asap

I liked that this hotel was not in the heart of the city so it was quieter (as well as more affordable). It also was easy to get rides from and back to the hotel.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
There were some issues with the room we were originally put in however the staff were amazing throughout the entire stay m.
We loved our stay. It’s basic, beds were comfortable and shower was great. Huge breakfast options included in our stay and was cheap! Bus right out the front but a taxi service was available through the front desk. £8 to the heart of Edinburgh. But can be walked in about 35 mins. Will definitely stay here again
Location was fine, short walk from haymarket, facilities werent great, but all functioning, hallway stunk (saw a binbag with waste in there, left overnight, more than likely the cause). Reception staff were really friendly and helpful. Was only an overnight stay so served a purpose, anything longer and i wouldnt have been impressed.
