This is the place to stay if you’re not driving. A short walk from the tram that is great from the airport or the Edinburgh express that stops half a block away. A very nice hotel with a decent continental breakfast. Being in the old town is walking the castle is 7 minutes away. Lots of eating options in the area but be sure to make reservations. The bar was a nice retreat if the live music in the pubs become a bit much. Our room was good with windows that opened however there are rooms that apparently can get very hot according to other customers but you can ask the front desk for fans..this was October. Great hotel very comfortable and I would stay here again.

Room was very small for the price and walls were sloped making it even smaller. You have to park your car a ten minute walk away. I didn’t find this out until the day before. Would not stay here again.

I liked this hotel very much. It is extremely well-located, the staff is very nice and responsive, and it has nice views of a park. The motel name is misleading. It is a hotel, not a motel, and very appealing.
