“What stands out here is the location, near the Pentland Hills and Heriot-Watt University, offering a blend of city access and natural beauty. The rooms, while modern, have quirks-like the bathroom doors-but the ample parking and proximity to the airport are definite advantages. I think its family-friendly vibe, with spacious rooms and dining, make it a practical choice despite some service inconsistencies.”

Its location near a bus stop provides convenient access to Edinburgh city center, with the castle reachable in 30-45 minutes.

Pleasant Hotel Stay

friendly staffconvenient busslow showerstained floor
The staff were very friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed the breakfast, it was quite good each morning. There was a bus stop right outside, it provided easy access into the city. I appreciated this convenience.
The shower took a while to warm up. About five minutes. I noticed some stains on the room floor. They looked like red marks. I felt they should have been cleaned more thoroughly. The sheets also felt a bit too hard.
