I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The rooms were super spacious - something you won’t find in downtown! Honestly, if we were to do Edinburgh again, we would stay here and just drive to the city. The restaurant was amazing and the decor is just so luxurious!
The most amazing Caesar salad and sticky toffee pudding!
Beautiful decor - makes you feel like you’re in a very special place!
Bedroom does not come with a hairy coo (that’s mine) but it is hairy coo approved!

The room was clean and comfortable, and had a lovely soothing feel. If you need bright lights, this might not be your spot. But if you like a quiet and calming environment, you'll be happy here! Also - very comfortable and welcoming pub/restaurant.

The hotel and staff were excellent. The restaurant staff were attentive and the food was excellent. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, very modern, clean and well appointed. My only regret is that we only had one night to spend there and left very early to catch a plane. The hotel is not extremely close to the airport but the staff made sure to arrange a taxi for us the night before.
