"Having stayed at this hotel several times before we knew we liked it and it's very easy to get into Edinburgh centre being just next to tram stop and conveniently opposite a supermarket and take away etc, we had a the pool to ourselves all times and were kindly upgraded to a suite free of charge and they popped some birthday bits in it for celebrating a special trip- still love this hotel"

The hotel is very close to the tram line. This made travel into the city center simple. Breakfast offered many choices (I liked the pastries!).

The gym was small and lacked some equipment.

customer focuscomplete toiletriesironing boardsecure luggage

The reception staff demonstrated amazing customer focus. They held our luggage securely before check-in. This allowed us to explore without luggage, and they even booked a taxi! I found a complete set of toiletries in the room including a toothbrush. The room had an iron with ironing board.

I was surprised to see car parking cost extra each night despite the overall price of my stay.
