I stayed here for two nights when I needed to visit Royal Yacht Britannia and attend a trade show. The hotel is quiet and modern with spacious rooms. I found the staff very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was perfectly adequate. The local bus service is fantastic - the buses stop right in front of the hotel and serve... More

This hotel is everything you would expect from a budget hotel. It is cheap and cheerful with no added luxuries. The hotel is in a great location for everything in Leith. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy. No frills but by no means slumming it either. Slept well with no noise issues. Breakfast was OK, we... More

I thought this hotel was a decent option for a couple of days in Edinburgh. The breakfast was good enough and the location, although outside the city center, was a 15 min or so bus ride and the drop off is right in front of the hotel. We took an excursion to the Highlands and the tour bus came to... More

Great location = Great savings...Free breakfast, free parking and nearby to a mall & the bus stop; we also were able to use travelling points for further savings on our room. Great room & the bed was more comfortable than my own, we had a great sleep. They charge for internet if you want it in your room, but you... More

Stayed overnight on 8th May mainly by the recommendations of others as we wished to visit the nearby Britainnia and shopping mall. The staff were very nice and helpful and the room was spotless and comfortable. We found the included breakfast very nice and well presented. The scrambled egg,sausages and beans and toast were great prior to returning home. Would... More

We recently had a two night stay here and we found the hotel and staff to be absolutely first class. Our clean, spacious room in the quieter part of the hotel was ready for us even though we arrived early and the staff, particularly Gasia, were friendly, very pleasant and extremely helpful. Breakfast was good with a wide choice and... More

My usual choice is to stay at Premier Inns. Decided from location this would be better - close to where I needed to go. Room ok although windows a bit draughty. Breakfast may have been free but bizarre hot choice - sausages , beans and scrambled eggs. Shower tempreature was a maximum but only warm - good pressure though. Clean... More

Have stayed at this hotel a number of times and have never been disappointed - everything first class we like to come through to Edinburgh to go to the theatre and this hotel is most convenient. Staff excellent as is the breakfast. We will be back again soon. More

We have stayed here on numerous occassions but every year we go the price increases! The breakfast is appalling I would rather have a room only rate and go elsewhere for breakfast Rooms are clean, modern and comfortable, added bonus of car parking on site and a bus stop just outside the hotel into Edinburgh centre - but again this...
