Good hotel located on a university campus. However, there is construction at the hotel and on the nearby road, so it can be noisy during the day. There’s no on site restaurant, and breakfast is a simple grab and go option.

Nice hotel. Unfortunately, an unknown when I booked the room, the hotel is renovating and there is construction going on around the hotel. Several things were not open like the restaurant and gym. A bit noisy. Inconvenient to meet Ubers and taxi due to road work. But overall a nice stay.

Having booked a room for 4 nights on Expedia, the hotel subsequently told me of the nature & scale of the ongoing renovations. Construction noise during the day. No laundry. No gym. No *lobby*. I'd be more irritable about it if not for a great breakfast buffet (admittedly, in a small, cramped space - but I'm an early riser & fared fine).

Overall a good option if you are visiting Edinburgh as a tourist. The area is nice and as it is right by the university, and close to many old city attractions. Do not pay a higher rate for the included breakfast - it’s pretty basic, and the utensils had a bad odor, probably from their dish washer or the mixing of food with utensils during their washing. One of our family members skipped the breakfast for the 3 days we stayed there due to this. Also, found the staff inflexible when I requested a late checkout by 1 hour, which was odd. But for an expensive tourist destination like Edinburgh, this bite is still a good option for Ben with all these challenges.

As the bathroom door is set back the light disturbs the person in the bed nearest the bathroom (brightness woke me up). Television was difficult to watch from both bed & settee. Was very disappointed with room for the cost. Although breakfast was good with plenty of choice.

Good location, nice room and pleasant service

Very pleasant hotel with kind and friendly service staff as well as some nice facilities. It is located basically inside the Edinburgh University campus, which we really liked and close to the old town of Edinburgh. Only downside was the breakfast buffet situation where there was not enough seats for everyone - regardless of which time slot you went down for breakfast. It is supposed to be a good and relaxing start to your day, but it ended up being quite a nuisance instead. Otherwise all good.
