It’s an ideal place to stay to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including Portobello, being far enough out of the city for a bit of peace and quiet. Everything you need is easily within reach. Dinner was tasty enough and the beer went down well. Staff were very friendly and there if you needed them for the most part. A fantastic price, easy to get to, I would be happy to stay here again no problem.

Room was a bit cold but it was very spacious with a large and comfortable bed. Unfortunately, no breakfast on weekdays. Dinner was good and not overpriced.

The hotel was busy for drinks and food when we arrived to check in. Unfortunately no breakfast available. The room was massive , no noise ,and we had a great sleep. I would recommend it if you could do without breakfast. Fairly quiet at night with the bar closing at 10. We enjoyed it though and would go back.

Room decor is good and new, shower excellent. Breakfast cooked fresh and service great. Evening meal was ok, again service good. Areas to improve, mattresses, felt very well used, lumpy as were pillows, did not match room standard. Room cleanliness needs some work, cobwebs, eyelash on floor, bed not made when out of room. Live music Friday and Saturday night quite loud in room as was post clean up staff voices till well after midnight.

We arrived well after their last. Check in time of 10pm, which we weren't aware of(our fault for not reading the fine print). We were able to contact one of the principles of the inn and he immediately sent someone from home down to accomodate us. We were very grateful as we had just flown to London and drove 7 hours to Edinburgh and were exhausted. Sincere thanks and keep up the great work

The property, service and cleanliness were excellent even though they were under staffed it did not affect the service. It was surrounded by commercial businesses which would have put us off booking had we known however, it did spoil our stay it just didn't make for scenic breakfasts. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff were.
