Staff was super nice and accommodating. The room just didn't feel that clean and it's not really within walking distance from where we were everyday. The price was convenient and I feel like we definitely got what we paid for.
Very close to mass transportation, bus stop only 2 minutes from property. Very convenient to walk to King Arthur’s Seat and Sheep Heid Inn as well as Duddington Kirk. Overall a very good experience.
We have stayed in the family room with two children. They had two beds next to the 2 person bed. It was clean and basic but good. There is a good bus connection to the center or you can walk to it through the park. The staff was really nice and the food is good.
The room was clean
But there was no AC the room was very hot and there was no air
Other than that it was okay

We have a few complaints about our stay. The room was dirty, with lots of dust, cobwebs, and a dirty toilet. I ordered room service only once in four nights, and it wasn't very good. The positives include the comfortable bed and the friendly and helpful staff.
If you’re planning on visiting the Royal Mile or surrounding area don’t book here. It’s too far from anything. Taxi will be £14 at least. There’s a restaurant in the hotel, which was good, but that’s your only option. The beds were comfy. Our room heater didn’t work so they brought us a portable heater that took the chill off. The shower was nice and hot but the tub was really tall. If you have any mobility issues it’s hard to get in and out. And it’s slippery. Front desk staff tried very hard to make us happy. We wouldn’t stay there again because of the location.
Um bom hotel, mas as fotos não condizem com a realidade.
A localização é aceitável, longe do centro, mas com transporte acessível.
Os funcionários não são simpáticos.

Hotel antigo e com manutenção precária. Aquecedores dos quartos não funcionam e não existe internet nos quartos
La chambre est super et correspond tout à fait à ce qu’on attend de ce genre d’hébergement. Literie très bonne. Le petit déjeuner est vraiment extra même si le bruit de la porte de la cuisine est dérangeant. Certains personnels sont très serviables et gentils, d’autres moins.
In 4notti in struttura mai cambiate le lenzuola nè mai è stata pulita la camera, sempre gli stessi asciugamani per 4 giorni. Mai aggiunta la carta igienica. Stanza fredda, il riscaldamento non andava mai oltre i 19 gradi. Colazione scadente. Per quella internazionale bisognava aggiungere 10,99 sterline. Che dire….. tutto pessimo.
