A weekend in Edinburgh for the Edinburgh Marathon. The family and I stayed here for the weekend as I had entered the Edinburgh Marathon. We arrived early in Edinburgh after getting the sleeper from London the previous night (Great experence). The staff on reception were helpfull and although our room wasn't ready the stored our bags as me set of for a day trip around Edinburgh and my daughter did a 1.5k run.
The hotel is not in cental Edinburgh but there are buses that stop outside and the hotel will gladly arrange a local taxi. Edinburgh is a lovely city and spent alot of time touring and seeing the sights (little more than I should have as a big day to follow).
We arrived back at the hotel to find our bags had been put in our roon and again the front desk staff were great, they advised that they had a special breakfast for marathon runners and had arranged a taxi share sceme to take runners to the race in the morning.
The room was comfortable and nicely decorated and the breakfast was great.
We had our evening meal at the hotel and the food was great, though the service a little sloq but I put this down to the popularity of the hotel with other runners.
All the hotel arrangements went well and I ran my first Marathon ( I also walked back after which was about 3/4 miles from the finish as all the buses were so full.

Nice swimming pool, steam room & sauna.

Good comfortable, clean & convenient, staff friendly & helpful. Only complaint was with the restaurant, poor service & overcooked food. Bus stop right out front which let us spend a great day in Edinburgh, hotel stored cases while we went sightseeing and we were able to leave the car in their carpark.

So pleased I found this hotel for a weekend away with my show cats.The Siamese were booked into a show in Edinburgh.Everywhere was heavily booked because of Madonnas concert on the Saturday night but I was fortunate to find this hotel available.The staff were lovely ,nothing too much trouble and front desk arranged a shared mini cab for me,(with other hotel guests)for Madonnas concert.As I was travelling solo,this was much appreciated.Must say how much fun I had.Really enjoyed my time with the other guests.The Scotts know how to party!!
My room was excellent I had upgraded to the best possible and was not disappointed.
Portobello beach was nearby and the location of this hotel makes for a good spot to explore the city.
