“This property strikes me as a particularly good choice for families, not least because children's meals are complimentary. I appreciate that it's close to the airport and the Edinburgh Zoo, and I think that their ability to host private events is a real bonus. The outdoor dining spaces and cocktail selections give it a distinctive touch, setting it apart from more conventional hotels.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Minor Issues
clean hotel friendly staff small room noise disturbance
The hotel was clean and well-kept. Staff were friendly and helpful. A pub is located in the hotel, convenient. The location near the airport bus line provided easy access to transportation.
The room was small. I could hear music from the bar and restaurant until closing time. I also heard noises from the adjacent room and people returning late at night. The rain shower made it difficult to avoid getting my hair wet.

charming stay near the airport
easy check-in great food little supermarket
i found the bus to the city centre took just 15 mins and then to the airport just 10. the pub downstairs had great food and there's a little supermarket just across the street. checking in was very easy i thought.
The shower head was huge in diameter. It hangs directly above you from the ceiling for a "rain shower" effect. it is actually too big for the shower space, so there's nowhere to stand when you're trying to adjust the water temperature.
Location

the hotel is ideally placed between the airport and the centre. bus stops are just nearby, providing quick access to both destinations. the immediate area includes several restaurants and shops.
