Booked a 3 nights stay here from 13 to 15 May. Room size is ok, and is next to the Edinburgh Zoo, about 25 mins by bus from Waverly station. Room heater was not working so it felt cold throughout. Water pressure is ok.

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and it was everything we needed really. Apart from the slight distance (20-30ish min bus ride)from the city centre, it was clean, well-equipped and also super spacious. Super value for money!

Good hotel all round. Good location, especially for a day at the zoo or to watch Scotland play rugby. It is easy to get to the city centre too. The room we had was big and clean. Bed was comfortable and there was a big telly. Didn’t get a chance to use it but there is a pool.

A nice hotel in a good location, especially for the Zoo or a light walk. Access to the city is good, both by bus or car, although it is a little distance away. Perfect if you don't want to city space during your visit.

we booked 2 rooms and got on different floors. Room service not available after 3pm everyday due to less staff. Waited for more than 2 - 3 hours for early check in. Request was not considered for 1 room.

Tired room like back into the 80's. Old bathroom amenities with a smelly yellowish shower curtain. Dirty cups and teaspoon with stains on it. Not recommended. We paid £110 for a 3-person room, which can have a much better choice for this price.
