Room and bathroom great size. Spotlessy clean. Good quantity of towels. Reception staff very good and we were happy with a ground floor room. Hotel is very close to the car park. As you come out of the car park you can see the hotel across the traffic lights. Very close to Royal Mile. Everything just a minutes walk away.
Breakfast was the only let down. No staff around to seat us or explain what was available. The table was dirty. Cooked food was cold and poor quality. Powdered egg.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and was very satisfied with my experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any request.
The location was very convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the area.It was close to the train station.
It could have had a small fridge

Breakfast was very good.
The mattress could have been softer, probably the firmest mattress I have ever slept on. It wasn’t good for me, rubbish nights sleep.

Our room was really clean and comfortable, the hotel is in a great location just off the Royal mile, it was quiet at night so was able to sleep comfortably. Staff are friendly and helpful. A really nice hotel, would definitely stay here again.
The coffee wasn’t very nice from the machine at breakfast.
