We packed 5 people into a 2 bedroom suite and were very comfortable. Great spot with bus stop right out front and near so many neat places to eat and shop. The walk to Old Town is a little over a mile, but so worth it. We had a drink in the Cumberland pub and had a nice chat with the help. Would stay here again!

Property itself was very pretty. Our room accommodated 4 adults w 4 beds which was nice. Nice little bar open until 11, and good breakfast priced reasonably the next morning. The only thing I didn’t care for was the automatic light switch in the room- particularly in the middle of the night. Far too bright and stayed on too long disrupting sleep.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I found that everything was as advertised. The continental breakfast wasn't quite what I expected but I appreciated the convenience of eating on site. It was close to the tram & train stations and right across the street from a bus stop so very easy to get around. I would stay again on a future trip.

Staff was friendly and room was clean. Bed was comfortable but pillows could have been softer. There were 2 tesco stores within 5 minutes walk and haymarket train station was 10 mins walk. There was a bus station right outside the door and the airlink stopped there so it was easy access to airport. (about 20 min run for about 5.50 pounds). It was a good place for the price we paid.

The photos looked intriguing of the exterior, but we found ourselves walking through a maze of hallways to get up to a very inconvenient now stairway. I expected two twin beds as it was booked as a double deluxe instead, it was one single bed in a small room . Breakfast was not included. There were spiders in the room when we asked to change the room, the proprietor said there were no other rooms available. I found that hard to believe as the parking lot was half empty at 12 o’clock at night.

Outside is beautiful, inside is tired, dirt smeared high traffic touch points. Needs an update. Bathroom light is motion sensor activated. 6 pot lights in bathroom and 9 in the main room. Brightest hotel room I have ever been in. Needs a good cleaning but bedding was clean.

Very nice, decent room, perfect for our needs, close to city center and airport. The only thing was that the fan in the bathroom and the little fridge were very noisy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very basic and dowdy with a very steep and very narrow staircase to climb to get there. The small toilet had a small shower cubical and the shower did not work properly, The toilet seat needs fixing too. There was a running water noise in the room all night which was not coming from the toilet. The carpark charge was a surprise and the £200 in total for the night was not even close to being value for money. I wouldn't even contemplate staying again.
The staircase is the only access to the room.......
