My 3 friends and I stopped at this hotel for a couple of days in the middle of May. We arrived in Edinburgh by train and found the hotel very easily: From Princess Street there are several buses that stop outside the station, 12, 26 and 31, I think, (they run every few minutes until about 11:30pm - ¿¿1.50 single journey or ¿¿3.50 all day ) and stop outside the hotel and it's about a 10 minute journey (longer in rush hour) - look out for Murrayfields stadium on the right, it's a couple of stops later. The bus drivers were vey helpful ...The Zoo is only a few hundred yards from the hotel.The rooms were situated at the back of the hotel and were quiet. Okay, the d¿¿cor is a bit dated, but they were spotless. Breakfast isn't a 'Full English' but was more than adequate: Sausage, beans, eggs, toast, jam and lots of tea and coffee. We were worried about the hotel from the reviews on Trip Advisor, but were very happy with our stay. We booked through a KGB deal and did have problems booking suitable dates. I can't believe that people on the KGB deal are complaining - yes, the chicken and chips dinner was poor, but for a comfortable room and breakfast for approx. ¿¿22 a night in a CAPTIAL CITY what do they expect????On the subject of dinner - we would have loved to have had a proper home-cooked curry alternative to the chicken (if the homemade dhal soup anything to go by, it was superb, a curry would have been excellent).Adam, the manager, and the 2 ladies we met were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful.

We had a lovely 2 nights stay on 20th May 2013. The family was very helpful with lot of interest to help us enjoy our stay. Room was warm, clean and comfortable, hotel is easily accessible to public transport connections to the city of Edinburgh and the Zoo was a short walking distance. Had a great experience great value for money, we shall certainly be staying again.

my wife and I have just returned from this hotel. It was clean and tidy and warm the staff were very friendly. the room was clean the bed was very comfortable we would stay there again. we walked in to the city just took us 20 mins.cant fault this hotel and the staff

This was a trip to celebrate our son's birthday as he lives in Edinburgh. The hotel is run by a friendly family who appear to be willing to do anything for you, however they also appear to be doing it on a part time basis as there was no receptionist until 4pm on the day of arrival. We booked via a KGB deal which included breakfast each day and one day's evening meal. Just before we were to arrive we had a 'phone call saying that we would have to share a bathroom, but when my wife laughed at the suggestion to pay "an extra ¿¿30" an en-suite room appeared for no extra cost.Food:The evening meal was atrocious. We had paid an additional ¿¿15.00 so our son could join us and the cost was no more than ¿¿1. The meal consisted of tinned soup, chicken, cheapest frozen vegetables and chips followed by ice cream or coffee. No other choice.Breakfast was noticeable by the things that were missing. There was no orange juice, no cereal, no bacon, no hash browns or black pudding, in fact it was only one sausage, an undercooked egg a spoonful of beans and a piece of toast, oh and no jam and you had to book the time of your breakfast the previous night, no 8-9.30 arrangement or similar. Next time it will be Travelodge with breakfast at Wetherspoons for better value.

My family and I spent three nights in this hotel during the children's half term holiday. We were booked in a family room which was suitable to our families needs. The kids loved the bunk beds! We found the staff friendly and very helpful. They made helpful suggestions about places to take the children and shopping. We stayed for both breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed our meals and we found the staff to be very accommodating. We will definitely return to stay at the hotel on our next trip to Edinburgh, as it is located on a main Road where public transport is easily accessible. The hotel is situated on the same Road as Edinburgh Zoo which was ideal. I have recommended this hotel to friends and family.
