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.

Meh

The bathroom wasn’t very clean and there was mildew (I hope it wasn’t mold) all over the ceiling in the shower and in some of the grout. The window didn’t open at all. It was very hot. The glasses were smudged. I expected more from a four star hotel. Pluses: clean and comfortable beds.

Pros: The staff are friendly, helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. The location is very good, quiet, near many dining options. Cons: It would be better if the room has a mini fridge or microwave. The mattress of the sofa bed is too soft and does not support 2 people well. I hope the sofa bed mattress can be improved in the future. Overall, we like the hotel.

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.

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.

Outdated but fine stay

Decent location, about a 15-20 min walk from the hot spots. Quiet but very small room for two people. Suitable for one person. Rooms are pretty old and outdated and look like it - specifically the bathroom which shows quite a bit of wear which makes it look dirty. We did not sleep well here due to the small size of the bed and fact that the bathroom light switch is on the outside so if someone gets up in the middle of the night the bathroom light is quite bright.
