Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining options limited — Guests who prefer a full restaurant on site will not find one; the breakfast is a self-service basket rather than a cooked meal.
  • Parking costs extra — Although parking is available, it is not free—one review notes it costs £10 per night.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • Guests note the price — Some find the rate high for the value, even though the location and facilities are praised.

“Perfect accommodation with excellent service in the heart of Edinburgh. Fast check-in, late check-out, and flexible staff. The cereals, fresh bread, milk, and biscuits were splendid. Incredible and handy location, walking distance to everywhere. Very easy to get from Edinburgh airport, just 15 km away.”
