At Breakfast they refused to serve the two of us, ie two coffees,one poached egg on toast and scrambled egg on toast. The choice was either full breakfast or Continental breakfast.As we are in our 80s,too much food and expensive! Reception and staff disinterested.

I really enjoyed my return visit to this hotel, it gets the important things right. In particular excellent service from the staff, from the reception, restaurant, cleaners all only too happy to help. A special mention to Liane (not sure of spelling) who went above and beyond to help me. Strongly recommend!

Weekend in Edinburgh
Great location for visiting Edinburgh, bus stop almost outside the hotel - very short walk. We decided to walk into town which was close enough if you enjoy walking and meant we saw more of the city too. Ate at the hotel the first night - very nice food, quick service which was good. Hotel decor is a little tired in places - needs some TLC, otherwise decent place to stay

VERY dated and no temperature control
The room itself was spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom clean. The heat was incredible, like sleeping above a furnace. The whole place needs some repairs and a lot of decoration. Breakfast was disappointing, lots of options one normally would expect simply weren't there. I didn't use the restaurant as it looked to be the same menu and still as overpriced as my last visit when I realised it was not worth the price. I really want to like the place as it is so handy for future use but it is so, so dated - I've stayed before and hoped this would be better. The staff are great, so friendly and helpful but the hotel is basking in its glory days of old.

Good location, short bus ride out of the centre.
Really good location, short distance from bustling Morningside, and not far from central Edinburgh. Bus stop across the road. The Hotel is impressive. We got a cheap deal, so our room didnt have a view, but more expensive rooms are available. Room was a little tired, but comfortable and spacious enough for a short stay. Communal areas were spacious, comfortable and clean. Enjoyed our stay.

The property is old. Our room and bed a bit worn. However the bus stop was right outside with easy access to downtown so we did not have to use our car. The evenings were lively and fun and staff friendly. If you don’t mind an older hotel with a few quirks and the price is very reasonable then this is for you.

Pleasant Stay
It is not a 5 star hotel, but it is warm, comfortable and friendly and is in a great location - away from the city centre but bus stop nearby and a 15 minute taxi journey.
