We stayed for 3 nights as a family. Our room overlooked the car park which was very noisy at times. We all bought ear plugs after the first night. You can hear everything from the rooms either side and corridor noise. The staff were helpful and breakfast was ok but I wouldn’t recommend it for a stay. Certainly not somewhere for 3 nights away of little sleep and the room was very tight for space.

Great location, 15/20 mins walk into town, all flat or 10min bus ride, various options all very frequent and cheap. Staff were amazing couldn't fault them, helpful, knowledgeable and nothing was to much. The room was as you'd expect and although on the street side of the property very quiet. The food was standard to say the least on the first night, but redeemsd itself on the second. Breakfast was well organised and plentiful. The biggest thing for me was the pool and changing rooms, both looked very tired and run down, and could do with alittle tlc, but usable and clean. All in all and excellent hotel, close enough to the city but just far enough out to be away from it all and dead handy for the zoo and Murrayfield. Would recommend.

Perfectly located to the city - a bus ride of around 6-8 minutes to Princess Street/main visitor attractions/Castle etc - parking also available at hotel. The outside of hotel is not very appealing but once inside it is very open, well lit and decorated - lovely relaxing feel about the place. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable - would certainly use this hotel again.

Nice hotel but could use an upgrade

Front desk staff was great. Super helpful and accommodating. The lobby of the hotel is great but the rooms don’t really match that. They are pretty old and my biggest hangup was the cleaning. Stray hairs and left over soap in the bath tub tells me the cleaning was lacking.

As an IHG member and avid traveler I am appalled that this hotel has such high ratings on your app. Beautifully lobby and restaurant area and that’s about it. The corridors look like hospital corridors and smell of must and mold. The rooms are drab. Apparently mine had been recently refurbished but you could never tell due to the old looking bathroom and carpet. The sad looking kettle didn’t work either. Walls are paper thin and doors slam hard so we were woken up at 6am I had booked months in advance for the Oasis show at a time where I could have gone somewhere else but trusted IHG. I cannot believe I paid 1300 for 2 nights for this when I could have had so much better. I feel robbed. This place felt so dirty.

The lobby and restaurant are really nice. The hallway to the rooms is unbelievably terrible. The hallway is dirty and very very worn. The trim around all the doors is scuffed and chipped and the doors are dirty. Our room wasn’t great, the toilet didn’t work properly and there was a set of odd looking keys left in one of the pillowcases….totally weird! The motion light outside our room kept trying to come on at about 3am. Every minute a loud buzz sound would go off. Finally went downstairs to the lobby at 3:30am and told staff. They managed to turn it off about 30min later. At about 6am there was another strange sound. The hotel is beside a zoo and some exotic bird was making some crazy loud whistle sounds. Between all the noises and the keys being inside a pillow case and the toilet it didn’t make for a very enjoyable stay, especially the night before a long haul flight. The wifi also didn’t work in the room. On a positive, the staff was great and the lobby and restaurant were really nice.
