My regular spot when I’m in Edinburgh. Great rooms and the staff seem to have become a lot more friendly.
Room very shabby with worn patches on the carpet and arm chair. Good location and friendly staff.

The hotel was even better than the pictures and it had a really great atmosphere! The view is amazing, specially on the last floor and also the restaurant and bar are top notch! In reception, we spoke with "Deep" and he was really careful with us, offering all the details we needed.
Overall the hotel is the best deal you can get in the area for such an affordable price! Strongly recommend!
First time stay but certainly won’t be the last everything was excellent,would certainly recommend 😀

Lovely room but could have done without all the scaffolding. Staff were very courteous but they need to better highlight where the hotel Car Park is! Postcode needs to be changed, as Sat Nav takes you to a private road which doesn't allow access to the hotel!
