We booked the hotel because it looked so interesting and unique. It wasn't until after it was booked that I read the reviews and was really worried about what we'd let ourselves in for. The place looked great and the room was OK. The furniture was lovely but the carpets hadn't been hoovered, not all the lights worked and I... more

I booked this hotel for a 2-night stay in Edinburgh with my friend. We were attending the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston and were looking for somewhere cheap, clean and in this area. I booked the hotel as it was reasonably priced and then I read the reviews and started to panic!! However, I must say that I was presently... more

I booked this hotel because it looked romantic and the idea of a themed hotel was appealing to me! BUT on arrival we were greeted by a very lovely bad called David he was a legend he explained to us that we have been given an upgrade but the 'flat screen' television in our room was just being installed and... more

I stayed at the hotel back in August and all in all I had an alright time. I was in the Jaipur room first and then the Jodpur room. The furniture was a bit tired but I couldnt complain because I was upgraded from a single to a double for both days of my stay. When I checked in the... more

For anyone who's not sure about this hotel, I can sympathise! There seem to be a lot of different reviews out there for this place and I for one read a lot of them and still couldn't make up my mind. Some seemed to suggest it was awful, some seemed to say it was good... So I thought I'd give... more

We stayed here three years ago and remember a pleasurable experience however it appears since then the place has been well worn and your no longer made welcome. The breakfast and seating arrangments are very basic. The decor is tired (although they appear to be putting down new carpets). Generally the staff are polite with the exception of the lady... more

I can highly recommend this hotel. The staff are very friendly, our room was tastefully decorated and clean and the building itself was impressive. Close enough to town, you can take a leisurely stroll and be in the west end in 15 mins. An welcome alternative to the ever increasing number of souless chain hotels.. Very good value for the... more

Fairly lousy hotel. Decor in rooms is dated, the bathroom looked like it was Indian Sub Continent hygiene standards. Our room was across from reception and you heard everyone in the hotel coming and going, add in some noisy plumbing and it was a fairly miserable stay more

Excellent!

Excellent stay! Very friendly staff (apart from a mistaken wakeup call on the last day at 7.30 am...), this hotel is located quite conveniently, at a 15 minutes walking distance from city centre, or if you don't like walking, there's a bus stop just outside. The price is fairly good for the quality, compared to other hotels in Edinburgh!... I... more
