Hotel was clean, rooms were spacious. The toiletries provided were great quality! Breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Could have done with a bit more choice. Right near the bus stop which was a 25 minute spin into the heart of Edinburgh. Staff were helpful. WiFi was a bit dodgy and there were occasional loud noises during the night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, the staff was awesome, and I don't business so, IDK on that one. I don't know of any shops that were close-by, we had to ride a bus for a bit or drive the rental for a little bit to find everything. It's close to the airport so no rushing the day of flying out. It was close to the main highway. That helped out tremendously when we left the south for Portree. The bus stop is across the street which will get you downtown, especially close to the castle in Edinburgh. The uber to get downtown is like 40 USD. SO its wise to figure out the public transport. They had parking for our rental, which was way nice. The only issues I had were sitting sideways on the jon because the toilet paper holder was jutting out and some horrible channels (44 of em) on the TELE, it was a pain to connect our iPhone so we never did. Also, I am lazy, so that's not on them. No in-house or self service laundry so probably a great hotel for business 1-2 days as well. Overall top marks and the price was competitive. It all felt pretty new. I would stay here again.
