Dropped our daughter at University of Edinburgh. We couldn’t have gotten closer to the main campus. Great location. All major sights were walkable. WONDERFUL buffet breakfast each morning very quiet and clean. 2-room suite type hotel with kitchenette and sitting area in separate room with tv. Highly recommend. Will stay again when visiting our daughter.

Excellent food, plenty of options. My biggest complaint is not having someone at the reception desk who doesn’t have a strong accent. I needed help with a taxi and over the phone I couldn’t understand them and I felt very stranded in a big city

not as bad as the reviews make out

I picked this hotel due to its proximity to my office.
I have to say I was put off by the bad reviews. But I thought I’d give it a try. It was surprisingly ok.
Good points - friendly enough staff, bed was comfortable, room was airy, breakfast was decent and plentiful.
Bad points - pillows were not great, breakfast area pretty rammed in the morning and chaotic, room decent but a little tired in places.
Overall I would stay again, as its pretty decent and a good base for a few days.
