I only stayed 1 night as I was attending a function in the hotel. I was in a single room which was so small I had to climb over the bed to close the blinds as there was no room to go around it. The duty manager had stored his 2 holdalls in the room (maybe he had slept there... more

At the moment this hotel is under refurbishment so hopefully it will improve. The staff were very friendly and helpful so there can be no complaints there. The rooms were cleaned and fesh towels were given every day, so again no complaints on that side. However it is very dated and needs a serious makeover. Carpets in the room were... more

Hotel is a bit tatty, but the room was clean and comfortable. Liked: - coffee and kettle in the room - breakfast was good - easy bus links into town Disliked: - beware, the hotel has a function room! On one of the nights, the disco was blaring till 2am. Normally a bit of noise doesn't worry me, but the... more

A lovely little hotel, great location and excellent staff. The hotel is a little dated, however improvements are being made and things are definitely going in the right direction. We booked a family room which was basic, but very comfortable and scrupulously clean. The down duvets were a lovely surprise and just what we needed on a wet and windy... more

Stayed here for 1 night - that was enough! Shabby, shabby, shabby. Only hotel I have ever stayed in where the cold water came out of the tap hotter than the hot tap! Carpet filthy and full of stains. Washhand basin cracked and stained- 2 plastic cups at side of sink instead of glass tumblers. Liked the comical notice on... more

Location is a bus ride from Royal Mile. Not really close enough to walk, but an easy ride. Located on a busy street. Plenty of parking in the back of the hotel. Friendly staff. Easy check-in and Check-out. Clean, simple room. Free internet access. Very good breakfast. more

We had higher expectations have read some reviews. The hotel is tired having seen better days, it was clean-ish but the deco was very dated and worn, I think it had suffered like many hotels from a serious lack of investment. Being next to a main road (remember its in a city) it was a tad noisy, in need of... more

I am afraid that this hotel needs a major facelift.It is looking very shaby and down at heel .The bar was never open which meant there was no lounge to sit in . We came as a group and found the management very unhelpful .We had booked with the previous management whom had proved to be very helpful.We will not... more

JonJF, Owner

We are very sorry that your stay wasn't as you expected. Unfortunately for the last 8 months the hotel has been run under management due to an illness of the manager you originally booked with. The management company has now parted company with the hotel and we have no further dealings with them. I can assure you that as from...
