We have a few complaints about our stay. The room was dirty, with lots of dust, cobwebs, and a dirty toilet. I ordered room service only once in four nights, and it wasn't very good. The positives include the comfortable bed and the friendly and helpful staff.

If you’re planning on visiting the Royal Mile or surrounding area don’t book here. It’s too far from anything. Taxi will be £14 at least. There’s a restaurant in the hotel, which was good, but that’s your only option. The beds were comfy. Our room heater didn’t work so they brought us a portable heater that took the chill off. The shower was nice and hot but the tub was really tall. If you have any mobility issues it’s hard to get in and out. And it’s slippery. Front desk staff tried very hard to make us happy. We wouldn’t stay there again because of the location.

Bra kommunikationer nära hotellet. Skippade frukost då matbutik fanns precis utanför hotellet.. Lukten av "heltäckningsmatta" fanns överallt men hyfsat rent men slitet badrum.

We have stayed in the family room with two children. They had two beds next to the 2 person bed. It was clean and basic but good. There is a good bus connection to the center or you can walk to it through the park. The staff was really nice and the food is good.
