Overall, this hotel exceeded expectations in every way. It’s a place we would return to without hesitation and confidently recommend to anyone visiting Scotland, whether for relaxation, sightseeing, or a special occasion.
Yes breakfast was fresh and parking was easy x The room was huge and very nice but a few noticable stains on the beautiful carpet and on the settee which i would have thought easy to remove. We thoughly enjoyed our stay x Staff were very friendly and helpful xxx
Very clean hotel. Friendly staff. Nice big car park and only a few minutes taxi ride into Edinburgh. Was a good location for going to the corn exchange. Only 2-3 miles away.
I was very pleased with the accommodation! The staff were friendly and professional, the hotel was very clean and the restaurant was great. Absolutely would recommend this hotel!

Nice hotel , good amount of parking .
£25 per head for breakfast is very steep especially when everything has run out
Hotel was clean, rooms were spacious. The toiletries provided were great quality! Breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Could have done with a bit more choice. Right near the bus stop which was a 25 minute spin into the heart of Edinburgh. Staff were helpful. WiFi was a bit dodgy and there were occasional loud noises during the night.
This hotel is fantastic, nice & quiet, neat, clean & the staff were lovely.
As it it positioned on the edge of Heriot Watt University campus it is ideal for students & family.
Friendly greeting. Lovely room, spotlessly clean. Plenty of lifts to get to floors. Bar staff chatty and approachable great choice of drinks and food . Fast with both. Free parking (what a bonus) bus stops just around the corner although taxis were quicker to get into Edinburgh town. Would highly recommend and use again. Loved Scotland!!!
