8/10 Good

"This hotel was very quiet, which was wonderful. The location was decent as it was close to Portobello Beach and had a bus stop right in front of the hotel that took us directly to the Royal Mile. The price was good for what we got, would have loved if the staff was a lot more helpful rather than just pointing at their brochure board when asked questions."
