Service from the restaurant was brilliant the lady was great went above and beyond. I wouldn’t say vehicles are safe there at night with the boy racers. Car alarms were going off in the night. It was quite noisy in the hotel and the shower gels and hand soaps really don’t smell nice but ok and clean Big shout out to the lady in the restaurant thank you

The hotel was excellent but my big problem was the noise from room next door. They were obviously having a party and after suffering the noise until 1am I called reception and they asked them to turn noise down. They did a little but went onto 3am so my sleep was awful. Apart from this everything else was wonderful

Basic accommodation but did the job for a one night stay. Not good having to check in at the adjoining bar on a wet and windy December evening. Also the staff welcome at check in was not particularly welcoming.

Stayed here a few times. This time i arrived and checked No problem the guy was really friendly Arrived at my room to drop my case off. On arriving back I found the room was cold. Went to shut the window and noticed there was no handle on the window. So it didn’t shut fully. Also the air con unit (I think that’s what it is) just above the front door was making an awful noise the majority of the night.

Very good internet and reasonably priced pub food, Carcery is a must try. The manager and staff were generally pleasant and helpful. There seemed to be a slight communication issue with housekeeping, the bed wasn’t made, and only the tissues were replaced while the used cups and glasses were left behind. It appears we may have needed to inform the team at the dining area directly. However, the staff were responsive and addressed our concerns once raised. Conveniently located near many restaurants. We parked at Dalmeny, free street parking and took a train yo Edinburgh city, just 2 stations away and around 20 min. Convenient if you have a car Very close to bridges, nice visit to Queenferry

Great wee hotel. Quiet, clean and friendly service. Breakfast was really good and made for you; not on a buffet style. It was therefore hot when it arrived. Close to shops and places to eat so fab.
