the room was clean, BUT the shower looked grubby and didn't have hot water. we also had to wait ages outside before someone bothered to let us in. since I expected more for my stay, a complimentary upgrade woudl ve been appropriate. I almost thought about giving a good review but just couldn’t.

bus stop access, convenient travel options, proximity to Portobello Beach

The check-in process felt disorganized!!! The bathroom definitely needs attention with peeling paint and hot water issues!!! Add some soundproofing to the rooms, as noise from the kitchen disrupted my sleep experience!!!

the room opened to a lovely garden with singing birds. carpets in the bathroom got wet.

The hotel's proximity to a bus stop makes accessing the city incredibly easy. The friendly staff made my stay enjoyable, although the shower occasionally ran out of hot water. the room was very clean and provided a comforting atmosphere during my visit.

central base for exploring parks and landmarks with ease

the hotel is conveniently situated close to beautiful holyrood park, making it easy to enjoy leisurely walks and incredible views, while being just an almost 2 km stroll from edinburgh old town, where you can soak in the city’s rich history and charm.

I stayed in a spacious Deluxe Single Room with a lovely view of the mountains. The bus stop was just outside, making it easy to get to the city center, and I enjoyed the convenient on-site Indian restaurant with its delightful menu.

Low water pressure.

The warm welcome was nice, small biscuits by the kettle, and a tasty Indian restaurant nearby made the stay fun.

a peaceful retreat near the coast.

delicious indian food, serene garden view

low water pressure

Faced delays at check-in, which left me waiting outside for a bit while the front door remained locked. The mattress was a serious issue—springs digging in all night left me feeling like I’d been in a space battle. The bathroom had peeling paint, a lack of hot water, and no place to hang towels, which made life less convenient. Plus, road noise from the front rooms made it hard to catch some solid sleep. At the price, I expected more comfort and amenities, especially considering it was a trek from central attractions.

It was just a top selection for a hurried visit in Edinburgh with very good value for money. The on-site Indian restaurant had fantastic food that was truly a surprise during my stay. Check in early, as there might be delays later on.
