The pool lookes nice,even thogh i didn't use it It was nice to get cookies and tea in the room
The first room they offered us was a family room without windows(!!!l) at the 2nd floor.we wanted to change th room and got another one on the 7th floor. It had a window but small one. The floor was broken in the bathroom..the door had so many skratches on it which was very weird. The table lamp wasn't working The breakfast was nice but small.nothing to write home about Not worth the money we spent

This hotel was a fantastic value. Great location... spacious rooms.... comfortable... and the price seems quite reasonable. If I was going back to Edinburgh, I would instantly try to book here again.
Honestly, no complaints.

Poor
Bathroom was upgraded. It was the only positive thing. Service staff, in restaurant.
Worst Hôtel in our two weeks stay in Scotland. It’s promoted as an airport hotel but it is not convenient at all. There is no shuttle service to the airport. If it’s raining, it’s a brutal walk over to the airport. Carpets throughout the hotel are stained. Phone did not work to call reception. Internet did not work they forgot initially finally had to go down to the front desk. Apparently there’s a code that you have to get, but they never mentioned it. Does not work using your Marriott member number. Heating system did not work. Our room was very cold. We turned the heat up only to learn two hours later that it had been locked out. Had to make two trips down to deal with the heating. Within went to have some dinner. We were told there was no room for an hour and a half to two hours because there was a group tour coming in. Really at an airport hotel, unable to have dinner. On a positive note after I made a bit of the bus after all the other issues they did accommodate us. Meal was OK. And the service staff in the restaurant were actually very good.

Great location.
Mold in the bathroom reported, no water pressure in the shower, generally poor maintenance. Complaints about the mold not addressed in a timely manner, then inadequately cleaned. Window stuck in open position. Closet so narrow there is barely any room to hang your clothes. 3 hangers provided. This property is certainly not a 4 star hotel

- Nice hotel in a very good location. - Within easy walking distance of all the main tourist attractions. - There’s also a mall right next to the hotel with plenty of restaurants, which is very convenient. - Overall, a hotel I would recommend.
- Nothing that particularly comes to mind.

Great central location, comfortable bed.
The shower wasn’t sloped right and ended up flooding the bathroom when you used the shower, the street out front was blocked off and we spent so long trying to get close because no one said anything The staff didn’t say anything when we brought it up. Overall expected more for what we paid.
