The property was very nice very clean and bedding was clean and comfortable. There is a Resteraunt that looked very good although I didn’t try it. The lobby is very nice and looks like a nice place to sit and have a drink. There were a couple tiny stains on the rug but besides that it was very, very clean and very well maintained. I would totally recommend it and would stay there again.

My husband and I were stranded at the closest train station. The front staff was very helpful in navigating how to book a taxi. She ended up making an arrangement for us to be picked up by the hotel van. We really appreciated the hospitality. The hotel was very clean and modern. We really enjoyed our stay :)

Lovely hotel outside of Edinburgh with shuttle service from the airport (which is why I booked). Queensferry is an adorable marina side with a rich history, nice restaurants & personable locals. The staff were outstanding and the hotel had everything I needed after a long day of travel from the states. Highly recommended to stop here before heading into the city.

Our room was large, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was wonderful. My only "complaint" was that the airport shuttle did not begin until 6 am and we needed an earlier one. They were great at making a taxi available but still had to pay for it. All and all, a great stay!!
