4.0 star ratingWe could not fault the staff and the food The room was extremely basic. We were cold most of the night. It looked as if it hadn't been decorated for 20 years.10 September 2008

4.5 star ratinglocation was excellent, just a short 20 minute walk to the city centre attractions. views around hotel were lovely. although the room was basic it contained all that was needed for someone on the go. staff were very pleasant and helpful. breakfast was enough to keep you going until teatime. I will definitely use againcorridors were noisy with creaky floor boards and rooms not very soundproof.jane lewis pembrokeshire31 August 2009

5.0 star ratingThe hotel was situated in a beautiful part of Edinburgh and was easy to get to the city centre & main attractions. Checking in was quick and easy and the hotel & room were very tidy and comfy. With a last minuite booking & the Fringe festival on the weekend we arrived we expected the prices to go up but it was a great value for money & the bar & food was of a high quality. Would easily recomend the hotel to friends or family looking for a short stay in Edinburgh.Nomi 09 August 2010
4.0 star ratingNice views from the room and good facilitiesbreakfast was packedjudith24 August 2010
3.5 star ratingThe rooms themselves are in a building which is well sign posted - but on arriving at the building, we found out we had to go to a central reception area to check in - this was not obvious from any literature we received and was confusing.st197524 August 2010
4.5 star ratingGreat location at the bottom of Arthur's Seat, with some terrific views from the accommodation. Room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was busy, but great choice and great food!Breakfast was very busy, and a bit of a battle to get food, but it was well worth it!01 September 2010
5.0 star ratingThe hotel is on the university campus and therefore has great parking for Edinburgh. The staff were efficient and helpful and checking in and out was easy. The room was a fair size and very clean. The decor plain and modern. The bathroom was actually a wet room. Although the breakfast facility was busy, the staff were helpful and efficient. The choice of food catered for people from all over europe and was self service so you could do things at your own pace. The grounds around the hotel were well kept and clean and also lit in such a to keep people safe but not affect the rooms around. We enjoyed our stay and felt it was good value for money.The only negative was that it was very busy at breakfast, however this was only one morning and given that it was the last weekend of the Fringe and the Edinburgh Tattoo we were not surprised. There were however work men doing work on the building next door who woke us on Sunday morning at 7.50 swearing and shouting to each other.02 September 2010

5.0 star ratingfirst class accommodation and the choice and quality of food at breakfast was excellent.Nette30 August 2011
5.0 star ratingThis is the best 'value for money' accomodation available in Edinburgh. It is short bus ride away from the city centre. The check in time was 2pm. We reached there at 8 am and the staff allowed us to keep our luggage in their locker which was really helpful. We left the luggage and then checked in later in the day. I would recommend this to all those who have a limited budget but are looking for good facilities..!Nothing much. Only if the check in could be at around 12 pm or earlier instead of 2 pm.Kaps30 August 2011
