Bathroom pod left a little to be desired!
We were attending a wedding in Edinburgh so really not intending on spending a lot of time in the hotel. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room felt a bit like a student accommodation pod with the plastic pod ensuite in the corner of the room. The bathroom worked fine however and we did get bathrobes which was a nice touch, although it almost felt at odds with everything else in the experience. The decor was a bit tired in the room however it was clean and the bed comfortable, which were the main things for us. The NCP they are affiliated with is a short walk from the hotel. Parking nearby is free overnight but VERY expensive during the day (from 08:30 onwards). We felt charging a premium (Edinburgh) price for this was perhaps a little inappropriate and I think if we wanted to stay in the city again we would look elsewhere.

Friendly staff but won’t stay again
We were able to leave our luggage at 11am and informed check in was 3pm, the desk staff were efficient & friendly.
We returned at 4.30pm then informed we would not able to check in as our room was not ready.
We were given a complimentary drink in the bar whist we waited but it was over 2 hrs late until we could check in, luckily it did not effect our dinner reservation.
We had to return to reception as the sink was blocked, staff were prompt in fixing it however we were then delayed getting ready for our evening.
I asked the following morning if we could negotiate a late check out as check in was delayed hiwever was told this was not an option.
Would not stay again

Basic hotel
It was just a basic hotel. Nothing fancy. My room was stuffy and no way to open window.
