Guest Reviews

Lynda 9.0

The room was welcoming and beautifully decorated. The bed and pillows were very comfy. The bathroom was modern and the rain shower (which I usually don’t like) was fabulous! As our stay here was at the end of our Scotland trip, we were pretty exhausted, and really appreciated the pub/restaurant just downstairs that served great food and had friendly staff. And in the AM, we walked to the AirPort Express bus stop (7 min walk toting luggage) and were at the airport within 15 minutes.

Nice place, also the restaurant downstairs was really fantastic.

Jordan 8.0

Quaint hotel over a restaurant-pub only a 12 km drive from the airport. The food at the restaurant was great. Ian and his family run a welcoming establishment. He really helped me out of a jam when my rental car broke down.

Jonny 8.0

Great room, with all the amenities you need.

William 9.0

Location not far from Edinburgh airport

Gary 8.0

Very helpful syaff and they arranged free parking which was a bonus.

Valerie 9.0

The hotel was perfectly located for us as we were in Edinburgh for a rugby match at Murrayfield. The room was comfortable, but small, the bed comfortable and it was very quiet. We had a room facing the back rather than onto the street. It was very handy having the bar downstairs for post match drinks and snacks and the staff were friendly.

Morton 9.0
