Very good

Helpful staff, good breakfast. Easy bus connection to the center of Edinburgh. Some glitches: inside of teapot was disgusting. Room could use a second chair, so we could share a meal. We waited over 1 hour for simple order of fish and chips.
Upon arrival the room was hot and stuffy (24C). No windows to open and aircon not working. Difficult to sleep and a really stale smell. There was a big stain on the carpet and the paint was peeling around the sealed windows. Very expensive for what we paid. The only redeeming features were the comfortable beds, nice shower and excellent breakfast
It might only be 1.5 miles away from the heart of town but it’s 20 minutes by taxi. There’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel but had I known I would have stayed much closer.
It was not bad but I don’t like it because going to city center with taxi cost me too much money and bus was very limited and takes too much time.at my room light bulbs didn’t work and after 4 days finally no one change it. As a whole I don’t go back there next time . I didn’t like it.
