Rooms were spacious, but it could do better with some renovation on windows , electric sockets and TV. We enjoyed the indoor pool facility and huge garden outside of hotel. There were very limited breakfast options some options in menu were pay based.

Anniversary stay

at check in it was ok receptionist was friendly & polite, Had to walk outside to the annex for our room in which i was not aware when booked. Bar for drinks is very expensive and bar maid kept disappearing, Strong smell of cannabis at reception & bar area in the evening which was not very nice and staff were not interested. Restaurant was like a morgue food was not nice very over priced waited a long time for food to arrive, staff were not helpful had to keep asking .Breakfast was disappointing again had to keep asking, When checking out did not get asked if our stay was ok. Overall the hotel is very tired and NO i would not come back again

Disappointing stay

Very disappointed to say this is Supposed to be a 4 star hotel. The "spa" facilities are very poor, no whirlpool/jacuzzi, steam room was out of order and sauna was packed full of gym lads. Changing rooms were also crowded and unclean. We had no towels on arrival and had to ask 4 times! At reception before finally getting some. Bathroom was not cleaned at all during our stay, would have been nice for cleaners to at least give the sink and toilet a quick clean.
Vanessa, 5-night trip

Booked during the marathon weekend and the price was relatively cheap compared to others in the area - breakfast was also included so that makes it even better. Good place to stay to get into Edinburgh as the bus stop was right outside so overall a very nice place to stay.

A poor hotel and overpriced!!

Room was in serious need of renovation. Overall it didn’t feel like value for money. I ate in the bar and was charged £18.25 for a large glass of wine - what a rip-off!! Gym was also in need of renovation.
