Night away
The hotel was very clean and easy to find. The gentleman at the front who received us was very polite, well mannered and helpful. The room was very spacious, bed was super comfy and all very clean. They have an agreement with a nearby carpark for a discount for hotel stayers which was brilliant (2 minute walk away). The only two comments would be the bar shutting quite early for guests (because as scots we are raging alchies and would have enjoyed a few drinks after our evening out and to see the xmas market), but also the panel for the ac faced the bed and with the lights off was extremely bright with no way of turning the screen off (eso make sure to bring some nail glue or bluetac to stick some toilet paper over 👌

Nice but 1 small problem
T.Vs did not work in any of the rooms the weekend we went. Not a drama and didnt effect our stay but all we got was a "sorry" on check out and not even a discount on the overall bill or even a drink at the bar when reporting it.

Previously stayed at this hotel when it was under different ownership. Has been refurbished and was clean , modern and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming- hot food was luke warm and not a great choice and it was self service coffee from a flask , a self servi e coffee machine woukd be nicer

Room and breakfast buffet
Our room was ok. We were in the first floor. It should have a ramp for the suitcases. I found the breakfast buffet ok. We were there for one week and a change would have been good.

8/10 Very good

We had a deluxe king room, the room itself was great however the room was dusty and didn’t seem to be cleaned as part of the daily turndown. I think this is highlighted more through there being black fixtures in the room, eg the lights and switches by the bed. The location of the hotel was really good to see all sides of Edinburgh.
