Room was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The accommodation itself was in excellent place and had a wide parking area so no stress to find reliable places to park car over night. The rooms were clean, staff was excellent and breakfast had a lot of variety and selections with healthy options and was able to take breakfast away too. The staff was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. Overall had a great time and was happy upon leaving.

Good location a short bus ride from the city centre. Helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast perfectly sufficient.,
Great location for City Centre without the CC price. Bus stop just outside that takes you into Princess Street. Breakfast was good with a great selection of hot & cold food and drinks. The room was basic but very clean and the beds were really comfortable.I will definitely stay again
The location of the hotel was very convenient for both bus travel to the City Center and to the Airport for our departure.
Very convenient parking.
Great breakfast and very clean room.
Reasonably priced, easy access for self driving visitors, on site restaurant, quick hot breakfast buffet and large shopping center a short walk in other side of road (.2 to .3 miles including Sainsbury and M & S cafe ) staff was very responsive and helpful

Ideal base for Edinburgh trip.
Wonderful stay. Very clean and the staff were extremely helpful.
We liked the fact that the bus to the city center was across the street. There was a shopping area within walking distance with a Lidl, for our snacks, etc. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The room was spacious.
Great stay. Lica (or Lyca) was brilliant in helping us with early check in for our wedding and also helped with other bits. Great hotel, good breakfast!
