We stayed for a weekend and found the room and service excellent. Great meal at The Skerries Restaurant - with good locally sourced produce. Breakfasts were generous and with good selection of hot and cold. Bus stops immediately outside the hotel allowing ease of access to the city centre. Buses were frequent and arrived when the electronic signboard said they would. Staff were also helpful with local information and warnings of things to be careful of ie transport re-routing due to tram works. Would definitely recommend.

I have recently returned following a stay here during a weekend in Edinburgh for the six nations rugby.

Overall I would say that the hotel is nice, clean and comfortable. We had a room on the ground floor and found the bedroom to be well finished and modern. I have to say that for the amount of money that we paid being woken up in the middle of the night from noise outside of the room and upstairs is not acceptable.

The hotel is in a great location, 5 minute walk from Heymarket train station and the same again to Murrayfield for the rugby. The centre is not too far either about 30 minute walk or you can get a bus from outside the hotel and that will take about 5 minutes.

The breakfast and service were both ok, there was a function taking place in the hotel which limited the fact we could use the lounge and bar in the daytime leading up to the rugby which I thought was a little disappointing as we were not told until we had arrived at the hotel.

Like I said for the rugby very good location and during a six nations weekend you have to understand prices are going to be at a premium. Overall a nice stay.

We booked to stay in this hotel for two nights for the Six Nations Rugby match between Scotland and England ( 3rd & 4th of February 2012 ). We chose it because of it's location and it's small intimate atmosphere - we were not disappointed with the room ( beautiful ) and the staff ( fantastic and very professional ). We liked the fact we could go to the match, have a meal in the town afterwards ( advise anyone visiting during the six nations season to BOOK a restaurant ) and then return to the comfort of the hotel bar to finish off the night with a nightcap or two!. WRONG - What the management had omitted to tell us when booking was that they had arranged for a private function to use the bar and dining area from lunchtime onwards on match day ( thus shortening our breakfast times due to preparation of the area for the lunch ), continuing til late in the evening.If we had been told this information at the time of booking then we would have gone elsewhere. We were told to use the sister hotel ( The Dunstane hotel ) on the opposite side of the busy road - BUT guess what - they had also booked out the dining area there and the occupents of the two hotels were expected to stand like sardines in a tiny bar area overflowing into the entrance area /reception area and stairs. We found this to be a deceiptful way to sell rooms at inflated prices ( expected for the rugby weekend ) without the basic comforts expected to be incorperated in the price -i.e a bar and lounge. We will definately go back to Edinburgh but not to this hotel. We were angry at the way the management were no where to be seen thus leaving the staff to take the full wrath of some very angry residents and believe me there were many ( the young foreign lady on breakfast duty on the Sunday morning did a magnificent job - she shouldn't have had to defend the hotel management like that and no doubt she doesn't get paid enough to justify their actions). ADVICE - If booking for the six nations - ask the question DO WE GET USE OF ALL THE FACITILTIES?

I recently stayed here with my husband for one night. If you are like me and are obsessed with cleanliness then you will not be let down. The hotel is immaculate, the staff are warm and welcoming, they can't do enough for you. It is also nice to see staff smiling when they greet you. I usually always find something that annoys me in a hotel, but I can honestly say the rooms are warm, stylish and perfect.
