Property was lovely and clean, the room was nice and spacious, bed was lovely and comfortable. As a side note, breakfast doesn’t start until 9am, which is quite a late start for most hotels, it didn’t mention this on the Expedia booking and we didn’t see any information in the hotel or in the room regarding meal times.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s an ideal place to stay to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including Portobello, being far enough out of the city for a bit of peace and quiet. Everything you need is easily within reach. Dinner was tasty enough and the beer went down well. Staff were very friendly and there if you needed them for the most part. A fantastic price, easy to get to, I would be happy to stay here again no problem.

The hotel was busy for drinks and food when we arrived to check in. Unfortunately no breakfast available. The room was massive , no noise ,and we had a great sleep. I would recommend it if you could do without breakfast. Fairly quiet at night with the bar closing at 10. We enjoyed it though and would go back.

I’ve stayed previously but won’t be back . No hot water for shower and unable to make a hot drink due to faulty kettle. No breakfast availability either as hotel not staffed overnight or early am. I stayed Sunday night. I know it’s a budget hotel but if it says you are able to make tea/coffee then that should be the case and hot water is not a luxury

Loved staying at this hotel. Regular buses to Edinburgh and nice seaside area. The breakfast was typical Scottish/english breakfasts and enjoyable. The bed was very comfy and I liked the decor in the room.
