Great customer service on check in and very speedy. Good sized room, good amenities/features (i.e usb sockets, decent hairdryer). Good size bathroom and great feature that the door doubles as a door for the toilet and bathroom as a whole. Bathroom could have been cleaner, some hairs left around the sink. Breakfast on the first day was great, plenty of food, cups, plates etc, however day 2 was a different story. Almost all the food items were empty and not replenished very quickly. The table we were allocated we had placed our drinks on before going to get food, came back and someone else had been reallocated our table. There is a shopping mall near to the hotel but not much else. Good transport connections to the centre of Edinburgh though (bus, tram, not too far for a taxi either).

Limited dinner menu. Ordered chicken kebabs, chicken was very dry. One of the main menu dishes was warm indian salad. Portion was tiny, smaller than a starter. Children had pizza, which was reported as delicious and it looked amazing. Shower cubicle was dirty and shower tray filled up with water in a 5 minite shower. Family room was tiny, with hardly any room for luggage.

The hotel is clean and very close to Edinburgh old town. The tram and bus station are less than a block away and both take you to the tourisric Edinburgh in less than 20 minutes. It also has the royal yatch right in front and a convenience store closeby.

Hotel is well placed and was easy to find. Bus and tram stops were outside the hotel. The staff were very attentive and friendly, especially Jamie, the duty manager on the night we stayed. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet and the provided buffet breakfast had a good selection. We would definitely return!

Hotel was conveniently located walking distance from Ocean Terminal Tram station. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Carpet in the room could use a good cleaning. Buffet Breakfast had nice varieties of items, but the eggs were tasteless and the bacon and sausages were way too salty.

Great hotel - perfect location with bus and tram stop outside. Breakfast was good, bar area was nice fior a drink in the evening and rooms were clean with comfy beds! There is a shopping centre across the road too. It may not be in the centre of Edinburgh but with transport on your doorstep that does not matter! Highly recommend staying here.
