The room was great for our family of 5. The room was nice and warm for our arrival and was in a fantastic location for getting the tram/buses.
Plenty of eating places nearby. Would highly recommend to any families wanting to stay somewhere central.
Easy to find.Good area.We parked at omni Q car park which was easy enough to get too.Then we got tram to take us to a stop near B&B.5 minute walk from Tram.Tram took us to Princess street to Christmas market.The B&B was clean.beds where very comfortable.Had a great night sleep.thank you.
We had a great stay, reception staff was very attentive to our needs.
Place was clean, and we had quiet nights.
Would stay there again.
Breakfast was offered but we didn’t expect it to be. Price was right for our budget and that’s what was important to us.
Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.
This hotel is safe and very nice. Price is affordable and worth. Bus stop is nearby. Dinning room was supported and huge. I would give this hotel 5 stars.
Good location. Everything fairly clean but very tired. Easy entry. Stains on white duvet and shower went from hot to cold to hot (no in between). Just ok

Convenient location
The location is central to all the tourist sites. The employees are friendly. The hotel is clean. The main problem is insufficient water pressure in the shower.
