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.

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.

Quick stay near airport

Was close to the airport and convenient. Our room did not look like the photos in the ad and was shabby. Toilet didn’t really flush. The walls seemed thin and we could hear people arguing in the hall and in neighboring rooms. The bar was cozy and the food was decent.
Kelly, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a really nice experience. Friendly welcome at check in, lovely cooked and continental breakfast and a nice time in the pool/sauna and steam room. Would say the hotel needs a little TLC in places, but had a really nice experience overall.
