Rooms are spacious but are quite tired looking, our room had very noisy floors so every time you walked they creaked loudly, on 1st floor do not sure if it would also annoy ground floor occupants. Bar very limited , staff cleaning draft pipes at 8pm so no draft available, not a very comfy bar area , no atmosphere. Room did have a fridge which is handy if staying longer and near Haymarket too. Stay was fine but rooms overpriced but all are when the rugby is on.

The staff were amazing. Not only did we get a surprise upgrade but we were also able to check in early. Thank you Fatima. We were also given a few biscuit etc freebies by the night shift receptionist (I wish I knew her name). A really nice hotel with absolutely lovely staff

The shinning

The rooms are extremely dates amd walling through the halls was giving the shining vibes. The room smelt very old and mouldy. Bathroom wasnt very clean. Couldnt even have a shower for our night out or in the morning as there was no hot water. Paid £89 for the night and tbh we would have been better booking a hostel. Front of desk were nice and friendly though being the only good thing about or stay there. Only giving one pillow also which are horrendous

The parking was £7.50 for 1 night. The water is luke warm not hot. The place is in need of a make over. The rooms were ok, bed was hard and could feel the springs. So all in all would not recomend. Pay a little extra and stay in a premium inn or travelodge.

Would not recommend

Very disappointed. The room was dirty and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The carpet was uplifting. No lock on the ensuite door.

Ok for a base for one night.

Good parking available for £7.50 for 24 hours, for Edinburgh I suppose is ok. Staff friendly. Three lifts to above ground levels. Room ok looked clean and tidy but there were various marked around the walls and skirtings, bath panel coming off and flooring in bathroom coming away from the walls. With this all said it was ok for a one night stay and yes I would stay again for a night if I needed to.
