The first time I stayed here I had no issues so I came back the following week. When we came to check in, their system was down and they weren’t able to activate our room keys, the front desk was required to bring us up to our rooms. We asked her if we can add breakfast for the next day and she said she can’t because the system is down but it shouldn’t be a problem. So we get into our rooms and there is a black dark stain on the carpet near the bed. We ask front desk if we can switch the room because we are not comfortable with that stain. She said that a lot of rooms have it and if she changes our room we might get another stain. So we just left it as that. The next day we go down to eat breakfast and the woman at the breakfast bar say our room number is not written down saying we pre booked breakfast so she said she will give us a receipt and we can pay after we eat. So we get the receipt and it shows 12.95 per persons I went to the front desk and spoke to the male with the glasses and I told him it should be 10£ per person not 12.95 and he said no because we didn’t pre book the day before. I explained to him that was because their system was down and the girl at front desk said it was ok we would still get it for £10. The guy was not friendly,, he just kept repeating the same thing and we ended up having to pay £12.95/person. He was rude and not understanding at all. I would not recommend coming to this hotel

Service was good as was parking. Room smelt slightly of smoke and every time the toilet was flushed there was a loud cistern noise which lasted for 1 minute, this noise also applied when other rooms flushed there toilets. So as you can imagine very noisy during the night, so we didn’t have a good nights sleep.

Staff aren’t the most friendly ones around, barring the Reception staff. Not a service with smile. They barely greet you or even smile when greeting. Wonder if they are all overworked. The room was hardly stocked, even basics like tissue boxes were empty. Some basics like cutleries (spoons) were not available in the room and had to fetch everything from the reception.

First hotel in Scotland with ac, it worked well. Room was clean and housekeeping checked it daily unless we put the door card out. Had a small fridge. The frosted glass door to the bathroom was a unique touch! Nice for a night light Elevators were in working order and readily available. The food at the restaurant was good, Breakfast was a well stocked buffet. Nice to have as no other restaurants were nearby. It was sometimes difficult to find a server to pay the bill. Bus stop to the city was a short walk and buses came by frequently.

Ideally situated for what we wanted to do in Edinburgh. Staff were excellent - helpful and friendly. Rooms we booked were superior and had all the usual items for this standard of room. Parking good right outside the hotel. No complaints.
