We stayed in the hotel only for one night. Clean and tidy. Check in wa fast and without any issues. Room with kettle and basic supplies, cofee, tea etc. Towels and storage available. Only downside I would say is the noise. Windows are very old. Wind and noise from the outside is coming through. Bus stop next to the hotel so it is easy and convenient way to travel accross teh city. Shoping centre near by if you want to buy some basic supply or eat outside. Overall, good value!
The room was very comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring! Service was great too. My only minor point is the duvet was a bit warm, and checkout felt a little early at 10 am. ⏱ Overall, good value!
Clean, neat and tidy. Helpful at check in. Rooms basic and supplied with hot drinks, towels and storage. ( Heads up, no fridge. We brought a cooler with ice) Outside noise ( traffic and seagulls, so no surprises) Shower hot, bed comfortable. We took duvet out of cover as it was too hot (August) Easy access to public transport. Ideal for what we required.
Set back from a tree-lined road, this relaxed, traditional hotel is a 6-minute walk from Cameron Toll shopping centre and 2 miles from Edinburgh Castle.
