Very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was in decent condition. Some small toothpaste or soap stains on the bathroom floor and the radiator was a little weak. But had a good stay nonetheless. The location is nice and quiet. Not too far to drive to the city centre

Very good

Very good stay with no complaints. The breakfast was amazing, free carpark and closed to all amenities. Around just over half an hour walk to the castle of Edinburgh and there's also a bus stop right outside to get us to the centre. The check out should be at 12pm and not 11am... Apart from that, everything else was good and I will stay there again.
