Good-very warm which would be great in winter but uncomfortable in the warm weather. Fortunately I had brought my fan as there was no way to cool the room-bathroom was clean and surprisingly spacious. The kettle provided could have done with a good clean and descaling so I avoided using it. Short walk from the station- also has good transport links. Easy check in process with helpful staff.

Well situated for what we needed.

Just a quick overnight before heading home to Canada. Well situated close to Tram so we didn't have to fight through the Royal Highland Show masses to get to the airport.

They gave us a big family house. The heating was on and the room temperature was perfect. The only thing I would like them to change are the pillows - they are quite hard.

I got a basement room with a tiny window. The bed sheets were dirty with stains the table top had something sticky spilled all over it. The bathroom was decent and clean but had another door opening to the back of the property and that door was a glass door so extremely uncomfortable

This is just an honest review with our thoughts on our stay. When we were checking in which was just around the end of the check in time we expected more professionalism. The night porter/ receptionist came around in pyjamas, and not friendly or welcoming, would recommend customer service training, because being nice is free. The room did not really look like the one on the pictures. Once we got to our room it stank of whisky, but there are also some positives. The room was very clean including the bathroom - bedding and towels. The room had amenities, coffee and tea, kettle and a TV. To add the room was warm, and the pillows and mattress were comfortable.

Auf den Fotos hat alles super nett ausgesehen, leider nur auf den Fotos. Es war ein kleiner Raum mit Bett und einem extra Badezimmer. Keine Möglichkeit um richtig zu Lüften. Aber OK damit kann man Leben. Aber diese Wände sind sooo dünn. Man hört einfach alles durch, auch wenn die Gäste nicht laut waren, jeder WC gang, jedes mal den Wasserhahn aufdrehen, lässt dich in der Nacht aufwachen. Die Leitungen sind extrem laut. Das Zimmer war extrem heiß. Das Zimmerservice war gut, da gibt es nicht zu bemängeln. Auch die Lage ist Top. Die Ausstattung im Zimmer ist eine Katastrophe, nicht mal eine Ablage im Badezimmer ist vorhanden. Wir mussten unsere Sachen am Spülkasten vom WC ablegen. Für 1ne Nacht ok aber nicht für länger. Das Land und die Leute hier sind ein Traum. Wir kommen wieder, aber nicht hier her.

Very tired property

It’s just a collection of odd rooms in a house. Furnished rather poorly it’s not the sort of place you would want to spend all day sheltering from the rain, even if the facilities were there to do so. Very very basic room but well cleaned.

Excellent value for money

I recently had a 4 night stay. Superb location with easy access to buses and trams into the city. Upon arrival i was greeted by a lovely, helpful lady. (Having waited less then 2 mins after ringing the bell). I stayed in the single ensuite room. The only negatives are...it's a small room, no wardobe or anywhere to hang clothes. Although i compromised and used hangers on a picture rail. The ensuite bathroom takes up most of the room space. However, the ensuite was great. Powerful and hot. I found the room too hot most days but then i had brought a travel fan (which helped!) and you can only slightly open the window. I got used to the room being small but if you're a solo traveller who likes your space, maybe this isn't the room for you. All in all i had a very quiet and peaceful stay. I couldn't hear any noise as people have reported. (I was on the ground floor) no plumbing effects either of showers or toilets being flushed etc. As people have previously said this is a no frills guest house. I would happily stay here again for the location and the price and the friendly staff
