First room had a leak around the window. Staff quickly switched us to another room. Wifi wasn't working we reported this to staff but nothing was done. We reset the router ourselves by unplugging it and then wifi worked fine.

This hotel was perfect for our visit to Edinburgh, room was very warm, clean, bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. The hotel had a bus stop down some steps that took you into Edinburgh, the buses were very regular. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will return.

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice spacious room - quiet and comfortable. Adequate breakfast - good hot food although bread offering could be better. Lovely staff at breakfast but reception staff could be more professional. Told nothing could be charged to room as ‘ this is a business and people could leave without paying ‘ - quite an insult.

The bedroom is tired needs TLC. Room could have been cleaner the wall paper in the bathroom management should decide if it is appropriate in this climate. Staff excellent. Evening meal and breakfast excellent. Outside needs attention as some of the decking is requiring maintenance. Parking good. Staff knowledgeable of surrounding area. When you first enter the property it looks good but as I said some parts need TLC this includes the parts of the building you see from the bedroom window.
