What a nice hotel with easy access to the airport. We took a bus from in front of the hotel to the Royal Mile, which was a wonderful way to get into the old city. Very convenient. The hotel was clean, modern, and quiet. The staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful.

The staff were so friendly & helpful. The room was a little dusty. The coffee machine was great. However I do feel the 4* status isn’t correct. More of a 3. Was very overpriced, the stay & the bar. We did have a lovely time. But will not be returning, just because for a non central hotel, it was a lot of money, for a very standard stay.

Lovely hotel with excellent restaurant in quiet area away from the city center. If you’re looking to get away from the tourist zones, this is your stay. Only negative is that the rooms don’t have a mini fridge in them. Love that we could open a window.

Hotel was very modern, inside although the outside it looked very industrial, next to a big Tesco. We had a hire car, although used the local train into Edinburgh, there was also a bus service into the city. We had an evening meal one night which was very good even though a bit costly.
