Good
Location, friendly staff.
Being honest, for the price we paid i was expecting a lot more. The entrance area is lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. But generally this hotel is of need of a serious upgrading. Cosmetically everything feels worn out, from the decor in the rooms to the chairs in the restaurant. In our room which was spacious it just felt really tatty and in need of some modification.

We loved the location with easy access to downtown. The staff and building were great, very clean facilities. The room was spacious and the bed was big and the view facing Edinburgh castle was amazing.

Poor
The non-city centre location.
Unquestionably the worst value hotel I've ever stayed in. Run down and dingy throughout, and charging a rate that's frankly delusional - I'm relieved that we were only there for a single night. In our room, the cloudy old windows were full of condensation and rattled in any light breeze. There was only a single wardrobe door, no TV remote, and the nasty old headboard and mattress divan were both inexpertly covered with ancient and poorly applied sticky-backed plastic (yes, really) that was peeling off. The bed sheets did not fully cover the mattress, which is disgusting, particularly in a hotel that has the audacity to charge £180 per night. Breakfast was unremarkable. A full cooked breakfast was available (apart from eggs for some reason), but it all had to be eaten from a small side plate. There is a pervasive air of neglect throughout the whole property, with worn furnishings, carpets, and paintwork visible in both the rooms and all common areas of the hotel. The hotel requires a full refurbishment and as such, it's very overpriced. There are many positive reviews of this place online that are obviously written by AI. I do wonder whether they may, perhaps, have been bought and paid for.

Traditional hotel in great location with wonderful views in outskirts of Edinburgh . Easy access to city centre. GOod for car drivers as close to ring road and plenty of free parking. Very large and comfortable room . Hotel has nice bar, restaurant and grounds

Poor
Parking on site Included buffet breakfast
Poor decor - peeling wallpaper, scuffed paintwork, Bottom sheet on bed too small to tuck in. Our room was very noisy due to constant banging on the window from loose tiles or wires or similar. Unable to sleep. Changed the next night to a much smaller room which was very shoddy but at least was quiet.

Disappointing
Location was good for our needs and parking was acceptable at front of hotel
Rooms and general hotel in need of maintenance, very tired looking interior both in the general area and room. Items within room missing i.e. TV remote control battery cover missing hence batteries kept falling out, picture from wall missing, windows of poor quality and wardrobe doors not functioning properly. Bedding of poor quality. Breakfast was basic and of poor quality, dinning area chairs and tables are needing replaced as worn & scratched.

Disappointing
The lady at the front desk was lovely. She got someone to assist me in carrying my luggage to my room.
There was no A/C and we were on the top floor furthest away. Lots of stairs to get there since there is no lift. There wasn’t even a fan provided like other hotels had without A/C and it was very hot and stuffy. There were no black out curtains and light was coming in at 3:45am from the early sunrise. The water pressure was horrible! Pillows were super flat.

Beautiful, old and quaint. Nice staff! Nice buffet breakfast!
No elevator, no AC but staff provided fans. A little far from train station but worth the price.

The breakfasts & the evening meals were good in both types of meals with a good selection. Presentation of the evening meals was very good & looked very professional. The room was nicely decorated & the shower unit with the big head worked very well I would like to give Izzy a special mention as a receptionist she had the perfect manner for the job, a friendly smile & always smart dressed . A receptionist is the first person your guests see when they walk in & so therefore their job is an important one .
There was no lampshade on the ceiling light. The bed base looked very dated & scratched. Unfortunately when I got off the bus I was faced with the ordeal of climbing all the concrete stairs leading to the hotel from the main road with my case .

Location and parking excellent.
Room was rather small considering we had been upgraded. The window hardly opened, which in a heatwave was inconvenient. Breakfast was rather ordinary and not that hot.

Connie the housemaid and the location
Far too hot - the heating system is on all day to also heat the water - the hotel badly needs urgent investment in its heating system
