Location and drinks were very good, I had an amazing experience here. I loved the breakfast, specially bacon and fruit. Fab location with a bus stop walking distance to the hotel. Also, Edinburgh Old Town was easily accessible, set only 1 km away.

Absolute perfect location and spotless place, I loved absolutely wonderful staff. Savoury continental breakfast - gorgeous coffee, tea, croissants, cereals and pastries. Everything was superb and within 25 minutes' drive of Edinburgh airport. Early check in and in general marvellous service. The stay at this happy hotel was a very good one.
