If driving, sort out parking before you arrive! The hotel has a discount code if you pre-book in the Q-park Omni. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the car park so would recommend briefly parking outside the hotel when checking in and unloading suitcases.

We were traveling for our anniversary and a bucket of sodas on ice was sent to our room! It was a nice touch, and the front desk staff had so many helpful suggestions for activities and meals. The property was just slightly out of the way of how busy the city is, which was also nice.

We liked it.

The location of the hotel was convenient for travelling around the city on foot. Walking distance to the railway station and Royal Mile. The hotel room is spacious with high ceilings. The garden looked beautiful from the large windows. We liked that it was clean, tidy and quiet.

Pros: The staff are friendly, helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. The location is very good, quiet, near many dining options. Cons: It would be better if the room has a mini fridge or microwave. The mattress of the sofa bed is too soft and does not support 2 people well. I hope the sofa bed mattress can be improved in the future. Overall, we like the hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The images in the listing are very misleading… I was extremely let down with the state of the rooms when arriving in person, they were dated and not worth the price. The room had a heavy odorous smell to it which made staying in the room unpleasant. We got to experience a fire alarm at 12:30 in the morning which forced everyone out of the hotel and on the street in whatever clothes they could manage to put on and the following morning there was no hot water to shower before an 8hr flight home.

Location good for shopping areas and for the bus tours start point.Not too far to walk to most of the top attractions. Room big but tired looking . Curtains hanging off rail , carpets stained tea stains on the table. The kettle couldn’t be used next to the tea making station -no socket !The door difficult to shut and lock. The bed big and comfortable. Breakfast hit and miss - no plates , no bowls, coffee machine broken supplies of bread fruit etc not quickly replenished- mostly had to be asked for. The last day we were there a different breakfast crew that were much more attentive. Overall average with some good points.

From the minute we entered the hotel, we were met with friendly, kind and approachable staff (who were actually able to let us into our room early). We had a great room, with fantastic facilities and a comfortable bed. The restaurant and outdoor area were well designed and we made use of, with a glass of wine, because the weather was so good during our stay. I didn’t make it to the gym, but it looked like it was good, if I had. Also, fantastic breakfast. We just wish we could have stayed longer!
