We stayed here for 3 nights over a long weekend in March. On entering the hotel it was not very inviting. Decor dark and dull corridors and breakfast room also painted in dark colours. No where to sit whilst checking in. However, all this might not have mattered if service had been better. We did not feel well received at... More

This hotel was fine, it is a bit impersonal in that the reception is very small with a lack of public areas, bit soulless to be honest, the room as very small which may have reflected the small price we paid for the night stay, having said that everything you would need has been shoe horned in, the bathroom was...

The hotel is not central to the hub of the city but as a more economical option it is a great choice as standards were high & we did not encounter any problems. It took us about 15 mins to walk , however the hotel is only a couple of minutes walk from a train station & the trains very... More

The only con I can muster up is that it is a little off the "main" part of tourist central, the bustling Haymarket Square. It is about a 15 min walk. My husband and I walked it each night we stayed, and every morning as well. We felt very safe and the walk was for the most part beautiful. Our... More

Didnt know what to expect before we arrived so relied on TA. We were very impressed. Hotel was modern, friendly staff and good rooms. Free wifi was a bonus. Our room was slightly smaller than we'd have liked but that's was probably just bad luck. Location is just a few minutes walk from haymarket station. Several buses stop outside but... More

I would definitely recommend the above hotel. Friendly staff, Good Food, Clean Rooms. although a bit small. We booked through late rooms .com, very convenient for city center. would advise taking the bus into the city as there's a lot of road works going on due to new tramway being built. Car parking is mimimal behind the Hotel. But overall... More
