Good but could be better. Expensive for what we had but that was driven by Edinburgh Festivals

Liked:Breakfast was good. Location was further away from Edinburgh than we wanted, but it was August so we were not spoilt for choice. Overall though the area was good and the restaurant choice in walking distance nearby was very good.

Disliked:Beds are quite hard. Had to ask for toilet rolls. Appreciate that rooms are probably aimed at business travellers but very little storage space for two people’s clothes for four nights. Would prefer a proper wardrobe and some drawer space rather than a hanging rail and one small drawer.

Great location, but Inconsiderate Staff

Liked:Spacious rooms, good access into central Edinburgh via the buses. Easy parking

Disliked:Room location next to the cleaners cupboard meant there was constant slamming of fire doors and chatter outside our room. Waking us up every morning before 7am. The door next to our room opened and closed constantly every 3 minutes, slamming and banging.
