Very comfortable bed, great tv, nice quiet room and the staff were very helpful. Only let down was the tiny bathroom that could do with some maintenance, as the shower door wouldn't close and towel rail was about to fall off. I'd stay again if there's room with a bigger bathroom.

Great location. Everything was so close. Very easy to get from airport. I also took a train to Edinburgh and it was very easy to get to King's Cross. Staff is very nice and helpful. Hotel is clean and relatively quiet considering it's so close to the busy areas.
