Guests appreciate the tasty breakfast, including a full Scottish option, and the easy access to transportation, such as being close to the airport and having a bus stop nearby for quick trips into Edinburgh.

fantastic stay!

bus stops equipped room proper kettle

i found the bus stops were so close! it made getting around easy. plus, the room had everything i could possibly need. i also loved the proper kettle, fridge, and all the cups and glasses!

The heaters weren't on when i arrived, and i felt a little chilly at first. I had to ask for them to be turned on. i thought they should have been on already!

delicious breakfast comfortable bed warm room busy road double glazing distant center

The provided breakfast was very lovely. I had full Scottish and scrambled egg. The next day I chose poached egg on muffins, tea, coffee, and fresh orange juice. All were beautiful. Rooms were lovely, warm, and the bed was comfortable!

The hotel is located on a very busy road. It is quite noticeable in the room, despite double glazing! There is no way I could open the window. The location is quite far away from the center.

smelly towels moldy ceiling

The bus stop was just across the road so it was easy to get around.

I was not happy with the towels, they had a very bad smell. The bathroom ceiling also looked like it had mold. I found the bed to be quite uneven and it sunk in the middle.

Excellent Stay Near City Center

clean room accommodating hosts convenient breakfast quick access

The hosts were accommodating and allowed us to drop off our luggage early. The room had ample space and was very clean upon arrival. Breakfast was convenient and well-prepared. A bus stop located directly across the street provided quick access to the downtown area.

The road outside was a bit busy, and some noise was noticeable despite the double glazing. (I am a light sleeper, though.)
