Very helpful staff at reception. Attentive to our needs. Excellent area to stay with plenty of eating places and supermarkets in area. Warm rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast is available but is a limited buffet style with lovely staff. Car parking available. Excellent value for money.

Hotel and staff were lovely. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms the shower pressure was a bit naff but that’s to be expected in a big house.
Breakfast was okay, I didn’t realise the cold breakfast was to be paid after our stay. If I knew this I would have eaten else where as I don’t think it was worth the money for what I ate.

We really enjoyed staying here. Spacious, comfortable room and the bed was super comfortable. Friendly helpful receptionists. Very close to Arthur's Seat and an easy bus ride or walk to the centre of the city. A good continental breakfast available. Lots of restaurants close by. A great little hotel.

Staff were very pleasant and efficient, very helpful. Room was quiet and spacious and offered us the rest we needed from a long overseas flight.
Dining area and bathrooms in hotel were down a level with steps and uneven floors. Also luggage had to carried up and down stairs to enter and leave the hotel!
Great walking location!!

Great choice to stay out of old town. Easy access to the bus and Holyrood Park. Rooms are nice but the shower temp does not stay consistent. Bathroom is cramped but thats expected in an old hotel.

Noisy and somewhat tired
Had a dreadful stay at this hotel. We were downstairs next to the fire door. It had a note on it to tell the residents to be quiet but squeaked and creaked every time it was opened and then banged shut. This went on until the early hours of the morning and then started again for breakfast. The cleaners cupboard was next to this and after a restless night, we were woken at 7am with the cleaners moving all the vacuum cleaners out of the cupboard. Other than that, the hotel can best be described as we were in the morning, "very tired"
