7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient for my activities, but the lack of an elevator made it difficult to access my room on the 3rd floor with heavy bags. The rooms were spacious but showed signs of wear and tear. The service was friendly but lacked enthusiasm at times. The dining options were decent but some dishes seemed to be reheated.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were very large with a double and 2 proper singles, but the stairway from the 2nd to the 3rd floor was very steep and narrow, making it very difficult to haul bags up the stairs. The room itself is starting to show its age and looked a bit tired.

Service

7.0

The staff at the hotel were extremely pleasant and polite, although at times they seemed to only go through the motions without much enthusiasm.

Location

The hotel's location was ideal for my visit, being on the main road to the center of Edinburgh, close to the airport bus route and convenient for visiting Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle, and the Uni.

Dining

The dining experience was nice with quite a good selection, but some dishes felt like they were re-heated and could have been freshly cooked.

The hotel rooms were large, clean, and more than adequate for our family needs, with clean facilities. However, the noise disturbance throughout the night was awful, making it hard to sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time. The location was great for accessing the city center and local attractions, but parking was a bit challenging. The dining experience was mixed with some pressures to commit to a certain time, and the quality of products was very low. The service was somewhat lacking, with staff being argumentative in the dining room and a bit abrupt when handling complaints.

The hotel is conveniently located for easy access to the city center and other amenities, but the rooms need renovation due to old facilities and lack of assistance with luggage. The staff is warm and friendly, and the nearby dining options add value to the stay.
