Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Service was good as was parking.
Room smelt slightly of smoke and every time the toilet was flushed there was a loud cistern noise which lasted for 1 minute, this noise also applied when other rooms flushed there toilets. So as you can imagine very noisy during the night, so we didn’t have a good nights sleep.
Staff aren’t the most friendly ones around, barring the Reception staff. Not a service with smile. They barely greet you or even smile when greeting. Wonder if they are all overworked.
The room was hardly stocked, even basics like tissue boxes were empty. Some basics like cutleries (spoons) were not available in the room and had to fetch everything from the reception.
First hotel in Scotland with ac, it worked well. Room was clean and housekeeping checked it daily unless we put the door card out. Had a small fridge.
The frosted glass door to the bathroom was a unique touch! Nice for a night light
Elevators were in working order and readily available.
The food at the restaurant was good, Breakfast was a well stocked buffet. Nice to have as no other restaurants were nearby. It was sometimes difficult to find a server to pay the bill.
Bus stop to the city was a short walk and buses came by frequently.
Ideally situated for what we wanted to do in Edinburgh. Staff were excellent - helpful and friendly. Rooms we booked were superior and had all the usual items for this standard of room. Parking good right outside the hotel. No complaints.
I was very pleased with the accommodation! The staff were friendly and professional, the hotel was very clean and the restaurant was great. Absolutely would recommend this hotel!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The only downside is the very poor shower and the evening meal was mediocre.
