This is the dirtiest hotel i have ever stay at. There was significant mold in most of the walls in the bathroom. There was staining from water leaking in the main room. Even after changing rooms, the 2nd bathroom still had significant mold. The carpets were stained and dirty too.

Lovely spot. Friendly staff. Just need better lighting in the room. Dark in the day. I get it-can’t put ceiling lights on high ceiling, but put a lamp next to the wall in the middle of the room !

If driving, sort out parking before you arrive! The hotel has a discount code if you pre-book in the Q-park Omni. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the car park so would recommend briefly parking outside the hotel when checking in and unloading suitcases.

We were traveling for our anniversary and a bucket of sodas on ice was sent to our room! It was a nice touch, and the front desk staff had so many helpful suggestions for activities and meals. The property was just slightly out of the way of how busy the city is, which was also nice.

We liked it.

The location of the hotel was convenient for travelling around the city on foot. Walking distance to the railway station and Royal Mile. The hotel room is spacious with high ceilings. The garden looked beautiful from the large windows. We liked that it was clean, tidy and quiet.

Pros: The staff are friendly, helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. The location is very good, quiet, near many dining options. Cons: It would be better if the room has a mini fridge or microwave. The mattress of the sofa bed is too soft and does not support 2 people well. I hope the sofa bed mattress can be improved in the future. Overall, we like the hotel.

Location good for shopping areas and for the bus tours start point.Not too far to walk to most of the top attractions. Room big but tired looking . Curtains hanging off rail , carpets stained tea stains on the table. The kettle couldn’t be used next to the tea making station -no socket !The door difficult to shut and lock. The bed big and comfortable. Breakfast hit and miss - no plates , no bowls, coffee machine broken supplies of bread fruit etc not quickly replenished- mostly had to be asked for. The last day we were there a different breakfast crew that were much more attentive. Overall average with some good points.
