Really Nice place. A Little bit far from the city center but it’s not an issue since it’s well deserved by bus. Beds are great and hosts are really nice.

Superb customer service and great comfort

The staff was incredibly welcoming and lovely and the hotel was really well maintained. For a room that accomodated 4 adults, it was quite spacious and the beds were comfortable. It's only a 20 min bus ride into the city centre and it's well connected with public transport.

Good place to stay before a flight - No contact checkout allowed me to leave the building by 6:01am, walk 1 minute to the bus stop, and make it to the airport by 6:15am. One thing i really did not like was their baggage storage. The bag storage room was bascially in a hallway that anyone in the hotel could walk through. If you are travelling with any valuable gear, and you arrive before your 3pm check-in time, I would not plan to store your bags, since they wont store it behind a locked door, or give you a tag/receipt for holding it. They had 3 office rooms on the ground floor, which seems like alot for a small hotel - I would recommend to management that they create some space for secure baggage storage in the future. Otherwise, this is a solid spot for a breif stay in EDI, and perfect if you're about to fly.

The lodge staff were kind and helpful however the room felt dark and musty. I could hear people talking and moving around in adjoining areas. Shower small. Probably would not suit anyone over 150 lbs. or 5'10'. For the price it seemed below average. It was close to bus service and grocery stores. Kind of a weird check-in process.

Small adjoining room to bedroom.
Bathroom
Back patio. Not sure how to access it

Nice, peaceful room.

On a bus route. Just bit further out of town from Edinburgh Zoo. Friendly welcome at the door as we arrived. Nice clean quiet room with double bed & single bed, & en-suite with shower & bath. Nice views out over garden. Peaceful night. Very helpful hosts. Hopefully we will be back.

Nice Wee Hotel on Outskirts of Edinburgh

Stayed here one night as was in Edinburgh to see a friend's band play. Wasn't in the hotel much but the room was nicer than expected for the price, well worth the money. I didn't manage to get a good sleep but I think that's down to my own vicissitudes. Location well connected to city centre through the buses. Room was quiet enough as was facing the back garden. Receptionist was nice too. Would probably stay again yeah.

Graham

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service

Over priced and basic.

A very basic room with basic bathroom. No window to open, the curtains over the balcony doors didnt block any light, so the room was light by 5:30am. The plug didnt even fit the sink! Breakfast had to be booked the day before, even an omlette required 24hrs notice! Completely over priced - I was charged £449 for a twin room for 2 nights excluding breakfast - I would not have expected to pay more than £60 a night for this.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Awful place. Did not get the room that I paid for. Was put in a room that has no outside windows, the one window it had was frosted and behind it was the hotel laundry. People standing outside your window throughout the day. Talking loud. Machines running at all hours. Then they refuse to move us nor to compensate us for giving a room I did not book. Awfully rude staff too. Absolute disaster. Avoid. And if you can’t avoid then definitely double check before you go that you’re getting the room you paid for because they literally don’t care

The property was reasonably priced and in a good location. We had good night’s sleep on both nights of our stay and were comfortable. Breakfast was not included but reasonable for the price of £9.95 (continental). The porridge was excellent! The decor was quite tired and it was quite dark inside. The dining room had an aroma of fried food. The staff were flexible and we were able to change rooms as the original room was at the top of quite a steep staircase and very hot and airless. Our second room was larger, more airy and had a seating area which looked out onto the garden and was pleasant.

Not recommended

This hotel needs a major renovation. The conversion from a house to a hotel is very poor and not up to modern standards. The bathroom finishes are very messy, the toilet has been wedged into a tight corner and the bath itself is dangerous and slippery when wet from the shower. The soap shelf was also broken. The only positive point was that it was close to the friend we were visiting.

The hotel is a short 2 minute walk to the nearest bus stop with buses leaving regularly to and from the city center (a 30-minute bus ride). It is also only 2-3 stops from the Edinburgh Zoo. Breakfast is available, but not included, and is a little pricey, even for the cheapest- the 'continental style' breakfast.
