Check in was quick and service was very friendly. Parking handy although we were lucky to get last space. Room small but nice. Noise from function room not ideal when trying to get to sleep. Lovely location.

The rooms in the hotel are nice and clean. It was a bit noisy with a singer on in the bar, his volume was ok it was some of the guests who were enjoying themselves that were very loud. Breakfast was fantastic, lovely fresh hot food. Shame there was no orange juice. Will certainly recommend and stay again if the opportunity arises.

Cute place

Really nice location if you are looking for a place to stay around Edinburgh and parking was a plus. The rooms were clean and cute, however the water in the shower was nowhere warm enough and during the first night there was a lot of noise coming from the adjacent room (every time someone opened the door next to our room it felt like they were coming into our room instead which made it difficult to sleep) although all ok the other nights

It’s an ideal place to stay to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including Portobello, being far enough out of the city for a bit of peace and quiet. Everything you need is easily within reach. Dinner was tasty enough and the beer went down well. Staff were very friendly and there if you needed them for the most part. A fantastic price, easy to get to, I would be happy to stay here again no problem.

The hotel was busy for drinks and food when we arrived to check in. Unfortunately no breakfast available. The room was massive , no noise ,and we had a great sleep. I would recommend it if you could do without breakfast. Fairly quiet at night with the bar closing at 10. We enjoyed it though and would go back.
