The room and bed were lovely, unfortunately the shower wasn't properly attached to the wall but once reported it was quickly fixed. We didn't have the breakfast as we felt that it was a bit pricey.

Room was lovely but noisy downstairs ! A bit disappointed with the breakfast. Could only have exactly what you had preordered the previous day and there was no bacon toast or orange juice for us on the 2nd day as they had missed our order for 2nd days breakfast .

Nice, clean and safe hotel. Far from city center and food/sight seeing options. If you stay here be prepared to walk, take a bus or cab to main parts of town. The room was really hot and ventilation could have been better.

Absolutely delightful. Check-in was smooth. We arrived earlier than the check-in time at 11am and got into our room by 1.30pm which was much appreciated. Due to the redeye flight, we were so tired that the staff prioritized getting our room ready. The property is conveniently located, not far from the downtown core we wanted to visit. It’s nestled in a quite neighborhood and our garden suite was lovely and peaceful at night.

Very good value for Edinburgh

About the only decent hotel in Edinburgh which seems to offer rooms at anything like normal UK prices. Rooms are very well equipped and comfortable if a tiny bit dowdy. There's a big free off-street private car park and an excellent bus service into the centre of town (we never waited more than a minute or two and journey only about 20 minutes) and to other parts of the city. The free bottle of wine for OneKey members was surprisingly decent though I did need to mention it at checkout to get it. I'd certainly stay again if back in town.
