(I booked my stay via Booking.com, and this review is also over there) First off, the staff. The staff here are absolutely fantastic, some of the most kind and helpful people I've ever met while staying somewhere. Thankfully there were no problems, but if there were then it's great to know that there are staff available 24/7. The room we stayed in was a family suite, it was huge, and most importantly comfortable. It was basically a full apartment. It had a nice shower room, living/dining area and a master bedroom. The living room had 2 sofa beds in so there was space for 6 people really, so for my family of 4 stay, we had ample space to be comfortable. The bedding was super clean, there were towels provided, and the pillows, they are feather and REALLY comfortable also. The location of this hotel is superb. It's next to a tram stop, bus stop, so it's easy to get to train stations, the zoo, castle, town and more within minutes. I've got to say, if/when I visit Edinburgh again, I'll certainly be staying here!
Very convenient place to stay, 2 minute walk to Haymarket Train station and tram/bus stops. Our room was quite small and had to step over the bed to get to the curtains but was spotlessly clean. Beds were so comfortable. Heating and water was red hot and had plenty for both to shower. Staff were very helpful and friendly, recommended places to eat. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Would definitely stay again
I call this the "you get what you pay for hotel". My experience was pretty good and would stay again. I didn't have any real issues. We stayed on a Saturday night for£80. Which was very good compared to the competition. Checked in was straight forward and the room was massive (attached picture). Check out was fairly painless too. The bed was nice and comfy and the room was clean. The downsides were nothing severe. The toilet was pretty small for the size of room, and there was some sort of issue on the top left part of the ceiling. The room we were in was facing back yard which did have some noise but nothing to annoying. Overall, would stay again!
This straightforward hotel in an 1845 Victorian property is a 3-minute walk from Haymarket train station and 1.7 miles from Edinburgh Castle.
