Great short stay stopover

Comfortable, close to shops and restaurants, away from centre and hence less busy. Staff were exceptionally helpful especially Romik.

Staff were friendly and breakfast was served nicely. Rooms were appointed well. Close to airport. Sheets were not fresh/clean. Window did not close. Hard to stand up in bathroom. Toilet function was a challenge. Front door was locked and buzzer needed to alert staff to open. No lobby, just breakfast eating area. Advertised as three star not two star as it clearly was. Remote location of ‘motel’ to shops.

Friendly staff and good location with free parking

If you are looking for somewhere to stay on a budget just out of central Edinburgh this property is in a good location with buses every 15-20 mins to edinburgh. It typically took us 45 mins door to door to anywhere we were going in the centre and parking was free which was really helpful. I wanted to make a special shout out to the host that we dealt with throughout our stay, I’m so sorry but I don’t believe we exchanged names, but I know that he is originally from India. He was very respectful and friendly and told us interesting stories about his journey. He also let me use the bathroom at 8pm before driving back home - a small thing but greatly appreciated thank you!

This hotel is on a bus route straight into city and was definitely a great value for money option. It has a new owner who is working hard to make it a great destination. He was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good too - small buffet but fresh and tasty. I’d definitely stay again.

So-

The room was good. Clean and comfortable BUT it was very noisy late at night and early in the morning with people walking about on VERY noisy floorboards in the room above ours. Couldn't get to sleep for ages and then was woken at the crack of dawn. NOT GOOD!! The hotel manager was super helpful and very courteous, nothing was too much trouble. The building itself could do with improvements making as first impressions aren't good 😕.
