We stayed here for two nights. The room was a bit old fashioned, but nice enough and very clean. The furniture was a bit rickety but comfortable. We had a last minute deal and found the hotel to represent good value for money. The breakfast was lovely and included in the price of the room. The hotel is well located... More

Stayed here for one night this last weekend. The location was great for the city centre, we parked our car in the hotels free car park and got a bus from outside the hotel which took a few minutes into princes street. As a couple, we ended up with the room for 5 (room 7) as our originally intended room... More

Stayed one night in Feb 2013. Room was clean and the beds were comfortable, although due to the size of the room and being in Scotland in Feb, it was cold and could have done with bigger radiator on the wall. Excellent location. Room had a TV and breakfast was hot and tasty. Staff friendly,helpful and accommodating, excellent stay for... More

Rooms were appalling. Breakfast was also rank..... very very rude manager. It was £160 a night! we had given credit card details so they would have charged... More

This hotel is well located for going into town, catching buses, train or going to the airport or Murrayfield. It offers parking which in Edinburgh is a luxury, that been said, is limited and you need to maneuvre very well. Its a budget hotel, so dont expect it to be top notch, albeit is clean, well decorated (traditional) and has... More

Stayed for a long weekend. I won't say its the best, but for a 3 star at these prices it makes a long weekend affordable in what is a great city. It is close enough to the centre and attractions and the staff were most friendly and welcoming, especially George :). A 20 minute walk gets you either into the... More

The room would be good for two people, but not so great for three. There is a double bed and a single in a small room with a tea kettle, wardrobe, table, chair, small television, and heater. Be sure to get up early as they stop serving breakfast at 9:00 but start as early as 7:00. The breakfast is cooked... More

Found this one through Late Rooms and at £ 75 for a twin room on a Saturday night including excellent breakfast it was hard to fault. Clean, functional, helpful staff and perfect location for town, airport bus and Murrayfield.
