8/10 Very good

The lodge was nice, check in was easy and the lounge had cold drinks and bar service available. The room was comfortable but smelled a bit. Complimentary in room coffee, biscuits and a bit of sherry was a nice touch. Bus stop right out front.
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good value for Edinburgh

About the only decent hotel in Edinburgh which seems to offer rooms at anything like normal UK prices. Rooms are very well equipped and comfortable if a tiny bit dowdy. There's a big free off-street private car park and an excellent bus service into the centre of town (we never waited more than a minute or two and journey only about 20 minutes) and to other parts of the city. The free bottle of wine for OneKey members was surprisingly decent though I did need to mention it at checkout to get it. I'd certainly stay again if back in town.

What a great find!

Excellent room, friendly and very attentive staff. We stayed for a long weekend with the kids and what an excellent find this was, the room was clean, very large and within a stones throw of Edinburgh city centre via regularly running buses which stopped right outside the hotel.

2/10 Poor

had the unfortunate experience of lodging near loud guests. the staff intervened three times with no changes. room was fine but not what was expected from photo reference and cost. at 2am we tried to get another room but was told they would talk to guests again, and they didn't. we did not get another room. i do not recommend staying here

6/10 Good

Not bad, but not good.

Room was merely OK. Staff was friendly and location was good were the highlights. Pillows were flat, bed was stiff. Breakfast was average. Would be prettier in the spring/summer as the garden outside area was mostly dead in late November.

Great location

Really good location for getting in and out of Edinburgh. Clean, big rooms and attentive staff. Maybe needs a bit of updating in terms of decor but can't fault it otherwise.

8/10 Very good

Lewis was so very very good and lovely to deal with. He went above and beyond. The property was lovely & we would stay there again. A couple suggestions. New towels every second day would be great and the shower curtain needed replacing as it was moldy… but all else was great!!
