Booked during the marathon weekend and the price was relatively cheap compared to others in the area - breakfast was also included so that makes it even better. Good place to stay to get into Edinburgh as the bus stop was right outside so overall a very nice place to stay.

Had a really nice experience. Friendly welcome at check in, lovely cooked and continental breakfast and a nice time in the pool/sauna and steam room. Would say the hotel needs a little TLC in places, but had a really nice experience overall.

This was an amazing hotel to stay at. First time in Edinburgh, this hotel had great history and beautiful grounds. The staff on reception were very helpful especially Chloe who went out of her way to upgrade our rooms & chat to us too! Also really enjoyed the leisure facilities. Didn’t want to leave! Our beds were very comfy- I will be back!

We were just here for one night before flying out of Edinburgh. It was a great alternative to higher priced hotels near the airport. There is a bus stop right outside this quaint spa-resort. It was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. I would recommend.

The whole property needs cleaning, renovating, refurbishing. The paint peels off the outside wallls, the windows need renovating, the bathroom had mould in msby places, the carpet in the corridors is worn. We were on the second floor and nobody offered help to carry luggage. The restaurant was advertised as gaving scottish food with a midern twist, but it was standard pub food, 50% indian dishes.

Being our first time in Scotland, I booked this hotel based on the authenticity and heritage of the site and building. The grounds are beautiful! I have nothing to say about it My disappointment was really for some of the service and amenities aspects and the condition of the rooms. I recommend adding a small fridge and coffee/espresso machine in the rooms and easier access to ice etc...The rooms could be renovated as they were worn out. Other than that I enjoyed the stay. Thank you! Hamlet
