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

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.
