Summary: The room was lovely. Staff when seen were polite and friendly. Unfortunately there were many cons to staying here. A room was booked for 6 nights over 2 separate bookings. The whole stay I was given two towels - one of which I had to request. There was no daily house keeping in the rooms. Only one day out of the stay there was breakfast ready and supplied without prompt, one of the other days I heard someone else request breakfast so quickly made my way for some, so two days I got breakfast. It shouldn't have to be requested, it should have been there ready. Midway through the stay I managed to get a room upgrade (requested by my sister who made the booking) upon the room switch I was asked if I wanted the bed sheets changed - this should have been done without question - it was my father in the room before, however this is irrelevant. On day 4 I let the staff know I would clear my room as there was a chance I dont need the room the last 2 nights, I left the key with reception incase I wasnt coming back. I then found I no longer needed the last 2 nights of the stay. Tried multiple times to contact the hotel, left messages and emails, to this day I have had no response. Unfortunately we wont book this hotel again due to obvious reasons stated. Hopefully the hotel reads this and takes on board the comments.

Summary: Room was okay. Dusty. Linen was clean. Bathroom was okay. Breakfast was terrible. Cold stale pastries. Coffee machine out of service. Area of town out of the way. Not a nice place.

Summary: Second time staying here, as I have family in Gilmerton. Great, convenient spot. Kind and friendly service. I've never attended breakfast so I cannot accommodate on that. The only downside is thin walls, so you can hear everything. On the flip side, both times I have stayed, it's never been fully booked. Would happily return!

Summary: I was put in room 6 which was through a strange ante-room which was unlit. There was very little privacy in the room with a large window straight out onto a main road - I had to have the curtains closed - a blind would have solved this issue. The room was barren. One small towel, no bath mat, no hand towel. Lack of accessible plug sockets. Nowhere to plug in the hairdryer that you could then see a mirror. The room was VERY noisy. The road noise isn’t the fault of the property but the old windows didn’t help. The internal noise went on until 11pm. The stairs to the staff areas were close by and were very creaky. There were constantly people up and down them. it sounded like furniture was being built in the room directly above! The doorbell went at 10.47pm which was a staff member returning and there was then loud chat as they went through the ante room and up the stairs. I left at 7.40am and was told that breakfast wouldn’t be ready for another 20 mins. Overall building security and room door security didn’t feel good. Single old Yale lock and no deadbolt or chain to secure from inside. Parking was good and links to the city and bypass are good.

Summary: All staff were perfect. They made us feel special. Continental breakfast was not enough. Our room was close to street we could hear the car's sounds and there was a noise from stairs constantly. Hotel could be considered close to the city centre. Bus station in front of the hotel.
