Really close to the airport which was expected. Noise from the planes taking off was pretty consistent. Otherwise all good.

Decent for a late stop, but overpriced

We stayed here after arriving on a late flight and just needed somewhere to sleep — for that, it did the job. The room was a decent size, as was the bathroom, and check-in was easy with friendly, chatty staff. There were a couple of downsides. There was a noticeable smell as soon as we entered the room — it seemed like a drain smell — and although the floor was marked as non-smoking, there was a definite cigarette smell lingering. Breakfast was included and was okay overall. The only small issue was that the milk function on the coffee machine wasn’t working, and it wasn’t clear if or when it would be fixed. At around £250 for the night, it did feel expensive for what it was, though that does seem to be the going rate for hotels near Edinburgh Airport. All in all, it was fine for a quick overnight stay, but a few details could be improved.

This is an older property with great views of the airplanes taking off and landing. The staff was wonderful - so welcoming and helpful! There is a restaurant/bar with a nice little menu. We had a relaxing time preparing for our very early morning departure. Shuttle driver was also friendly and helpful. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Edinburgh, we will stay here before our flight home.

My only real complaint was the bathroom floor. It was filthy. When the floor towel got wet and rubbed the floor the towel became filthy. It needed to be swept and washed badly.

Heat wave

Well, Scotland was feeling a heat wave and the hotel wasn’t prepared for it. Rooms had a small occilating fan …no AC. Not really their fault..but with climate change, think they will have to keep up
