Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
My room was clean, acceptable and the bed was comfortable but had no heating upon arrival and for the first night. While the staff did find me a fan heater and then an electric heater, along with an extra quilt upon request it was not ideal. Also the walls are paper thin as I could hear next doors antics in the middle of the night, as well as people shouting and drunk. The second night he had got my heating working but was also extremely noisy all evening people arguing next door.

The check in was pretty easy but the staff could have been more friendlier. All the expectations in the room were good but I wish there was a microwave at least downstairs for us to use. Room service was good.

Please do not be put off by the negative reviews. I was worried after checking the reviews after booking the reservation, but the hotel and room were clean. Fresh towels and sheets were provided. There is an electric kettle with supplies for making quick tea. There is good parking at the back, and a bus stop right in front of the hotel. It was not noisy. The staff and other guests were polite. The hotel also has a lovely little dining room. It is clearly stated that towels and bedsheets are replaced every other day, which we were fine with. The check-in and check-out process was quick and hassle-free. Overall it was a good deal.

I like the surrounding of tranquility but recycle bin is at the reception area & not near to accomodation. So, we need to drive there to clear the recycle bag & put it back to accomodation isn't an easy option as we stay there for 3 nights.

Unexpected good hotel

Self check in and check out with detailed procedure by emails. Female staff on our first day of arrival told us the ways and directions of going to town centre. Free parking was available. Transport to town centre is just outside hotel and is very convenient. A shopping mall is just around corner. Restaurants just a short distance from hotel.

The single room was adequate for my needs, I had travelled up from south England to pick up a daughter from uni and stayed 2 nights. Pluses: comfortable bed and decent shower (despite it seeming to only have one setting: hot) - which is all you need really. Nice location. I like walking so was happy to walk the 25 mins to daughter’s place / 50 mins into the centre and back. Very easy - basically one road. Negatives: my room was at the front so quite noisy and noises from either side of me sounded like an extremely old cistern or pipes every time someone had a shower or went to the loo.

It was easy to check in. I was in room 14 on the first floor, room facing the rear of the property. Good sized room. Bedding looked clean and fresh and so did the towels. Bathroom was clean. I only stayed one night. My wife in ERI. I had previously stayed in Travelodge which is about 4 doors away. Far cheaper than Travelodge but also an older property. When I went to bed, I heard someone knocking on a bedroom door on 3 occasions and hoped that I wouldn’t be in for a night of it. Fortunately it stopped and I had a very good sleep in the comfortable bed. Complimentary coffee, tea, milk etc in the room. So to summarise, this hotel/guest house did exactly what I wanted it to do. Thanks

Was presently surprised by the hotel facilities and our overall stay. Was nervous, as some of the other reviews were quite negative, but our stay was great , clean room , of decent size , that had everything we needed, and the bus stop is literally outside the hotel , so very convenient location , only 15 min bus ride from town. Would recommend.

The room (sleeping 3) was clean and spacious. It faces the back, so it was quiet despite major road and traffic going by the front of the building. Convenient location: Shopping center with Aldi is in 10-minute walking distance, and bus stop with connection to the city center right in front of the hotel. (You don't need a car in the city of Edinburgh). Staff wasn't overly friendly. The gentleman working at the reception disappeared when he saw my heavy suitcase...So did housekeeping upon check-out. Please provide lock boxes in the rooms and some shelves in the bathroom. Overall, my stay was pleasant and served my needs. I would stay there again (with less luggage...;))

Convenient location

This place was exactly what we were looking for with a grocery store nearby and a bus stop directly in front. It was clean and comfortable and was exactly as described. The lack of AC was the only issue. Although the window was sufficient to let in cool air, it faces a very busy street which made for very early wake ups. Would stay here again.
