8/10 Very good

We turned up at mid day just to leave our bags there. We were told our room was ready so up we went to a very large bedroom! Very rarely do we get such an early check in so well done to the staff and reception. The hotel is situated in a quiet road about 15 a minute walk into the city. So ideal really. I would recommend this hotel for all the above reasons.

Parking in the area was rough but arranging parking through the hotel made it easy. Hotel was a little outdated and rooms were sparse, but the staff was incredibly informative and friendly. Good area. Easy walk to the royal mile and very close to dean village.

Got in late and left early. Didn't interact directly with staff, but self check-in was easy, and the room was as described. Good value for that part of town.

8/10 Very good

The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the young men even used his phone to order dinner for us! They were helpful with guiding us to restaurants and helping take up our luggage. The only issue that was not great was the stairs and having to go up two flights. Otherwise, the hotel was good.

4/10 Fair

Staff were super friendly and answered all of our questions with no problem. However, the bathroom in our room was very dirty. The silicone around the bath was orange which meant that it was quite old and dirty. We couldn’t really use the shower because of this. Beds had hairs on them right after we checked in which made us think that this place doesn’t have any cleaners. Location is very nice yes you can walk everywhere but I just wouldn’t stay here again. We really thought it was a waste of money because we paid around £700 for 3 nights and had to stay in a dirty room.

I stayed for 2 nights. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I did not make use of bar or restaurant due to having other plans. The room was quite small but adequate. It was however rather tired and could have been a little cleaner.
