Hotel was clean, rooms were spacious. The toiletries provided were great quality! Breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Could have done with a bit more choice. Right near the bus stop which was a 25 minute spin into the heart of Edinburgh. Staff were helpful. WiFi was a bit dodgy and there were occasional loud noises during the night.

Friendly greeting. Lovely room, spotlessly clean. Plenty of lifts to get to floors. Bar staff chatty and approachable great choice of drinks and food . Fast with both.
