Stayed for two nights on a room-only basis. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the basic amenities needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, but the food looked and smelled delicious. Would definitely stay again.

Clean and compact room offers good value for money. Staff are welcoming, and the pub offers excellent meals. The location is not too far from Edinburgh Airport and a pleasant 25-30 minute walk to my meeting at Heriot-Watt University. It's also on the #44 busline for access to Edinburgh, and only a 15 minute walk from a train station where I could catch a local train to Glasgow.

Dedicated free parking at the back & a bus stop out front which takes you straight into Edinburgh until very late. The food was delicious & the locals friendly. Bedrooms have smart TV’s which is miles ahead of most hotels/inns. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone choosing to visit Edinburgh
