Comfortable and conpetitively priced.

Nice large, freindly hotel. Our room was comfortable and clean and the receptionist bubbly and friendly. Breakfast was expensive and the dinner restaurant menu unimaginative. Fortunately there was a very nice pub close by. Sad to hear that the hotel will be closing shortly.

Meh...

Ok. We seemed to be the youngest guests as all others were about 80. The hotel lobby areas are older but clean. The restaurant was deserted on a Saturday night... Not a great recommendation. Our room was small but ok, but the bathroom was not as clean as I would expect.

One of my best stays yet

The staff at this hotel make it a lovely place to stay, I was only there one night but I had a lovely night and the food was amazing, I didn't realise roast chicken and chips could taste so good, so after that I had to have an afters which I wouldn't normally do!

Comfortable Hotel

I booked this hotel because of the price and also because it had free parking. The room was very comfortable, and it felt more like a bedroom then a hotel room (which I loved). I stayed in the "wee classic" which was perfect because I was traveling alone. The staff was very friendly, and the food in the restaurant was tasty. It's an older property, so the floors creak and the doors stick, but for the price, you can't beat this hotel.

Staying away

Hotel looked good on picture, far from that when got there. Room I had needed updating badly repaired ceiling floor was all marked. Corridor to the bedroom carpet needed changing marks all over it. Just felt upkeep of what could be a nice place was poor.

If only the inside lived up to the outside

The outside of the hotel is lovely and expectations were high. Unfortunately our room was filthy - stained carpet, dirty bath, wallpaper hanging off, stained walls under window - so we requested a move. Luckily another room was available and this was much better. Staff member on duty was very accommodating and polite and the whole thing was handled well, but considering the price of the night's stay it was extremely disappointing. Apparently the hotel is due for refurbishment this winter (2014).

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

very poor considering we booked a "deluxe" room

Arrived 2.30pm and was told our room wasn't ready, we went to the bar and my partner attempted to order "afternoon tea" - the barman's response was "I'm busy". Eventually I managed to order it, stale bread and cakes given to us on a tray with no plates and no cutlery. Rude bad tempered staff who looked like they hated their jobs. Eventually our room was ready at 4.30pm!!! Highlights of the room were - bathroom door handle hanging off, holes in the wall, mouldy wall paper and peeling wall paper. Climate control listed on room description but not present. Half of the ceiling lights not working due to bulbs blown. The desk had a light also not working where also the shade was falling off it. The following morning we went down for our 'included' breakfast, we stood waiting to be given a table as once again service was almost non existent. Overall I felt insulted and offended by the room provided and the overall state of the hotel and their attitude towards their customers. Upon checkout we were not thanked for our custom or asked if we had enjoyed our stay.

good breakfast - rooms ok - great staff

Very friendly and helpful staff, great welcome. Breakfast was good with eggs made to order which was a pleasant surprise- can recommend the scrambled eggs :) Room was what you would expect for rate paid, however my room overlooked the car park which could be very noisy at times - rubbish collection around midnight - especially with window open for cool air. Very spacious room for a single - would stay again as close to all amenities and within walking distance of city centre.

Posizione buona vicino a fermata del bus.

Il rapporto qualità prezzo è decisamente sfavorevole, prezzo da 4 stelle ma camera da 2 stelle. Il ristorante è praticamente non utilizzabile perché si dovrebbe avvisare al mattino di mangiare in albergo. La camera non ha armadio e nemmeno un frigo bar, il bagno andrebbe ristrutturato.

Review based on second room

I was given a room that did not have wifi and a truly horrendously stained and dirty looking bath. The taps were well nigh impossible to use. The duty manager came, looked, listened and tested wifi. He went away and came back to escort me to another room. The room was very good. The public areas of the hotel are very good and comfortable. This is a good looking building inside and outside. Bar and breakfast choices were good. Excellent location for Murrayfield Stadium and the rest of Edinburgh attractions are within easy reach The big plus ....... the staff. From reception onwards every member of staff was friendly and helpful.
