We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport. Our experience was disappointing. When we got there, the restaurant was closed and that is where you check in to the hotel. It was raining and we had to walk around the property and stand outside trying to figure out how to check in. We ended up having to scream through a window until somebody heard us. The person that finally opened the door and checked us in was apologetic and very nice. The rooms are in the back of the restaurant and there is no lift, which is inconvenient when you have a lot of luggage. The rooms were small but comfortable. The location is only 10 minutes from the airport. So that is convenient. We did not eat there so we cannot comment on the food, which is supposed to be very good. I think the experience would have been better if they would have explained the check in process ahead of time.

Great spot in Edinburgh
Perfect spot for our last night in Scotland. Small hotel above a great local restaurant/pub. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff very helpful before and during our stay. Friendly staff at the pub, too. Primary reason for booking this location was easy access to the airport for an early morning flight and so for that reason: mission accomplished. Easy access from Haymarket Station when arriving and 10-minute morning cab ride to the airport.

Staff was wonderful. However, the room was stuffy and loud. Located on a busy street. If you open the window, which is the only way to cool off the room, the traffic noise makes sleeping difficult. Again, the staff who welcomed us were lovely. Best part of the experience. Room: not so great.

Great venue, well located and friendly staff
Lovely stay, great venue. Rooms are very nicely decorated and a good size for a city hotel. Good amenities: a kettle for tea and coffee, biscuits in the room as well as an ironing board and hair drier. Pub downstairs did great food and there’s a little supermarket just across the street. Check in was very easy. Bus to the city centre took just 15 mins and then to the airport just 10.

Highly Recommend
Very clean and lovely. Food was fantastic. A bit further out than I thought. About 20 minutes from city center but Uber was easy. The room was right on a main road and a bit noisy Owner a delight. I would highly recommend

the noise from the road was very loud and I asked to change rooms. rooms are cleaned every 2 days tea bags and milk were not refreshed, I had to go to the bar to ask for more. the rooms were away from the pub/ restaurant so if there was a problem in the night I am not sure who I would call. To get to the rooms you go up outside steps, the light does not come on until you are half way down the steps so in the dark is dangerous.
