My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The room I got was amazing, with a comfortable bed, a nice big TV, and a couch to chill on. However, it was super small and located on the wrong floor. The staff, despite being friendly and helpful, failed to offer me an alternative room when I complained about noise from a loud group connected to a wedding party that would be leaving the next day.

The hotel is at the top of a huge hill in Corstorphine, making access hard if you don't drive. However, it's conveniently located next door/upstairs to the airport with the right day ticket and close to Murrayfield Stadium.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though smaller than depicted, were quaint, satisfactory, and safe. However, they were directly above a function room, making it too loud to get a good night's sleep. On the bright side, the large comfortable bed and good facilities, especially the excellent bathroom and shower, balanced out the noise. The rooms were generous in size and offered great value for money.

The hotel rooms were very spacious and had all the things you need while away from home, but it was a bit inconvenient to load our luggage on the cart and go upstairs to the entry door of the hall. The service, however, was very friendly and helpful. The location, while quiet and with easy access to the city, felt a little far from the center. The dining experience was above average, but the layout was a bit confusing, leaving some hungry. Overall, a mixed experience with some great aspects and some room for improvement.

The hotel offers great rooms with climate control and a convenient bus stop to the city center just outside.

The hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were tidy with very comfortable beds and a nice powerful shower, although there were some cleanliness issues with dust and stains. The service was excellent and accommodating overall, but there were some hiccups with high-priced drinks and delayed service during events. The location was convenient for exploring Edinburgh by car, though a bit far from the center. The dining experience was a mix of good and not so impressive, with food being delivered in a bag to the room. The facilities offered were decent, catering to basic needs.

The location was convenient with easy access to transport but a bit far from the city center. The dining options were decent, but not worth the price.

Our honeymoon stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. We were delighted by the amazing views from our room and the comfortable bed adorned with petals and love hearts.

I found the hotel to have a nice size room with easy access to the backside parking, although it could have been a little cleaner. The service was friendly and helpful, but a bit slack at times. The location was ideal, especially for visiting the zoo, with convenient bus stops nearby. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some cold food due to slow replenishment. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel was conveniently located near the reception and health center, but the room had not been properly cleaned and experienced disturbance during a deep clean session.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, though not in the best condition and a bit far from the center, were surprisingly fantastic with a massive super-comfy bed and very clean. However, there were some minor issues like wine stains on the wall and a strange brown stain on the ceiling. The service was mostly great, but there were some incidents breaching fire regulations and delays at check-in. The location, while good for shopping, was much farther from city life than expected. The dining experience was decent overall, but the breakfast could have been better.
