We found the hotel to be on the doorstep of the local transport bus and tram. there was a shopping centre with resterants and shops. The hotel was not the best as you had to pay £10 per night to park at hotel. we had to park in multi story carpark at shopping centre over road which was free. I am disabled. Also we had to leave a key card in room to keep heater working, however we returned to room to find key card removed and room cold. The second day we returned to room to find door key card missing from room, The cooked breakfast was slightly below avarage quality wise.

We had an issue upon arrival they couldn’t find our booking which was booked and paid in full 5 months before, I was actually charged for someone else’s room until I seen the cost was wrong and then found my receipt this was refunded back . They did eventually sort the booking and gave us free parking and a couple of drinks at the bar as a good will gestur.

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.
