Staff was pleasant and transport links were great. However next to a main road which wasn’t great and we gave up using the en-suite as it was causing a lot of noise . The communal toilets also had the same problem but not as bad as they weren’t in the same room as you. The room was very cramped and bed was serviceable but not very comfortable I would stay again , but would avoid the en-suite rooms

Place is fine to stay if you’re just using it as a bed or base for going into the city centre/murrayfield. Very easy to get to. The Asian man at the front is very nice and helpful. Only issue I had was the water pressure of the shower, it’s very weak. Aside from that, happy to stay there again

The staff and owners were very friendly and accommodating! They were the highlight of the establishment. They allowed us to drop off our luggage when our flight arrived early in the morning. Hot breakfast was always provided with friendly service. When our activities required us leaving the hotel before breakfast, they made sure to provide us with fruit, juice, and pastries to go the night before. When we mentioned being cold the first afternoon (since we come from a much warmer climate), they brought a space heater and then made sure to turn on the radiator for us for the evening. The gentleman that manned the front desk in the evenings was always prepared to help with any questions we had about getting around to our destinations the next day. The room was clean, though small. There was very little space to move around. The mattresses could have used a rotation, and the shower showed signs of mold, as well as the shower door not shutting properly. Other than that, the room was well maintained. The rest of the property also seemed well maintained. The area was quiet and there was a bus stop conveniently located in front of the hotel, with the return stop just a few minutes walk down the street. This made getting around fairly easy. It was also a short walk to the Edinburgh zoo!

No hot water. But other than that it was a really nice stay. An old Scottish house, lovely. Hopefully they resolve the hot water issue. We will stay there again

The property is easy to find on the main road from Airport to city centre. The small tight car park was not easily accessed for my size of vehicle. The property is dated and very tired. The shared bathrooms and toilet facilities are small and tight. The property would be best described in my opinion as "Any port in a storm". Unfortunately this guest will not be returning.

Stayed for one night as I had an early flight from Edinburgh airport the next day. The member of staff who checked us in was very pleasant. We were unable to have breakfast due to the time of our flight so I can’t comment on the catering. The room itself was in need of a little bit TLC and the bed was very squeaky but for one night it was fine. Convenient for the airport as the bus stop is across the road from the hotel.

Manager was nice and helpful and overall property was clean. We could hear a lot of noise during the night and sounded like someone was being sick. TV didn't work properly and missing lights, We had a double room which was ok for the one night we stayed, however shower was very small with a high step in. This was definitely a B&B, not a hotel and should be priced as such.

The room had far too many beds in it, there was not any room to move at all. This room should only be classed as a double. The bathroom had hairs in the sink and the shower. The bedding had marks on it. Breakfast was very poor we only got 1 slice of and 1 egg. The toast was not even toasted properly. We would definitely not stay here again.

Hotel is rather dated but nice enough for a short stay. Staff really friendly and attentive even made us a takeaway breakfast as we were leaving before cooked breakfast started. Worst night sleep in a long time neighbours returned back to their room at 3am and playing music until 8am … you can’t choose who is in the room next to you but the hotel doesn’t have much soundproofing so if they’re noisy you will know about it.

very convenient for the city, able to leave the car and take a bus ride into the city centre. Fairly basic, but very friendly and had adequate facilities for a short city break. Would regard the stay as good value, and will stay again in the future.

Loved that this hotel was right next to the bus stop which helped us a lot. The included breakfast was also really nice and staff were helpful! The room was a bit small and cramped, but overall met our needs. My only complaint is that the mattress on the top bunk was TERRIBLE. Luckily with an extra down comforter beneath me I was able to sleep, but without that I don't think the bed would have been bearable.
