Our first time in Edinburgh celebrating my 60th Birthday. Lady at reception on arrival was welcoming and informative. When she knew we were there to celebrate my birthday she gave us 2 small bottles of wine and some shortbread which was much appreciated. Unfortunately the lift wasn’t working however she gave us the choice of floors and offered to get someone to help with our bags.

Food at the Beefeater restaurant was lovely. Staff also very pleasant.

Bus stop 100 yards up the road so easy to get in to the centre. 

We would certainly use this hotel again. 

Lovely break

Great stay, free car parking, the bus takes you in to Edinburgh City, Great location for Edinburgh playhouse and also to do some shopping or even if visiting the Christmas Market. Older style hotel but has everything you need. 

Great Stay

This was our 6th stay at this hotel and we always book it to attend an international rugby match at Murrayfield. Great accommodation and the staff are always very professional, well mannered and very friendly. We have stayed at a number of premier inns and always enjoy our stay but this is our favourite one.

Being wheelchair bound the check in was excellent. I was in a clean room with a wet room which was excellent. I accidentally pushed a panic button and staff were there within 2 minutes to check on me. Overall very satisfied.

Cared for

A very enjoyable visit and plan to return later in the year. All the staff were very welcoming, from check in to bar staff and dining. The room was warm, clean and comfortable. Delicious food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I would keep this review very short and precise, as I intend to leave a detailed review later. I will start with the positive aspects, as it surpasses the negative.

What I loved:

- The welcome - quick and simple. 
- The staff - very helpful and pleasant
- The bed - comfortable and perfect for a good sleep
- The shower - clean, powerful
- Bath towels - white and clean
- Hot water supply - unlimited and available at all times
- coffee and tea supplies - unlimited
- prompt assistance from the staff at all times

What let me down:

- the room decor, which was much different and not half as good as the images shown on the website.
- the carpet seemed dirty, which might be the wrong impression, as I had expected the colour of the carpet to be that in the images.
- the room on the ground floor - it was impossible to open the window curtains, as there were always people outside the window and our privacy was more important to us. And coming from a sunny world (South India), it was extremely depressing to be stuck in a dark room with the curtains shut always. We requested to be moved to another floor, but the hotel was fully booked and there were no rooms available on the upper floors. We were miserable during the first few days, simply because we had to choose between light and privacy, both of which were of ultimate importance to us and privacy always won. It also worsened the jetlag, as we didn't know, when the sun went up or down, when we were in the room. That ruined the whole experience for us, even though it was not at all bad actually.

All that said, I wouldn't mind staying there again, if the location works for me next time. But I will ensure, I have a room on the higher floor. And since I won't be keeping any high expectations about the room decor, I don't think the lack thereof will affect me much next time. A big thanks to all the staff members for making my stay comfortable.


Great staff, comfortable bed, unlimited hot water supply and clean bathroom

It was our first time in Edinburgh and we were looking for an affordable place for our family. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel is just outside town centre but very easy to get to main attractions by public transport and about 15 mins walk to the beach.
The room was quite at night so a good nights sleep was guaranteed.
The cleaning could have been better. There was something on the wall in the bathroom behind the door and it looked disgusting. 

Trip to Edinburg

Headed to Edinburgh to see Paul Weller. Free parking and a great welcome from Kirstin on reception made our stay extra special. 

Great Welcome at Reception

Decent stay, staff friendly and room was nice. Bed comfy, nice powerful warm shower, bathroom functional though small. Bathroom fan was very noisy though. Room was clean and warm enough though temperature control was via an electric heater so took a little while to change temperatures.
A little noise could be heard from cars outside but nothing too bad during the night.

We didn’t try Beefeater next door for food but  were told we couldn’t come in for a drink with our 12 year old on the Saturday night as they didn’t allow children in after 8pm.  Thought that a bit strange for a pub/restaurant joined on to a hotel that may attract families.

Hotel location is handy for  Edinburgh centre via bus, 2 mile walk or taxi (Uber quoted around £12). Portobello is closer.

Good value 

Good location bus service close great breakfast at a cost of $8 GBP 
Lots of stairs the elevator was broken when we arrived but fixed next day staff did carry our bags though, pleasant, only we booked a twin room and on arrival only a double available, was also fringe in Edinburgh so very busy time check details in advance
