Lovely hotel in a nice area. Ideal for a short break, pubs in walking distance and close enough for events at Murrayfield. Comfy beds with good facilities, would definitely stay again.

I liked the old feel and the bar and restaurant. I don’t recommend the third floor because it was very hot and we had to keep the windows open and a seagul came in and pooped on our bed

This hotel is truly a gem and we will definitely come back again. The location is fantastic, public bus in walking distance and so are many other things. The hotel, though old, has such a amazing charm, which made it 100% worth it. The staff must kind and helpful and always ready to be of assistance. We had an amazing time. Thank you

Have stayed in this hotel several times, the last occasion being before Covid. I found the place quite shabby with worn carpets and in need of a lick of paint. In contrast to previous visits only a handful of cars in the carpark hinted that business was not good though it picked up a little in the evenings with the arrival of a coach tour. Staff were, however, friendly and welcoming. Very disappointed at the reduction in standards.

Staying on the 3rd floor really means going up 5-6 flights of stairs from bus stop. It’s an opening in the bushes with a 20 feet of stairs. No lift makes this property difficult to navigate with luggage. The upper floors were very hot from sun. Poor ventilation and lack of cooling except opening windows approximately 2 inches. It is very unique property but these drawbacks need to be considered.
