1 night stay
We stayed for 1 night, our room was big, however very cold….
Breakfast was a bit of a farce menu with 6 choices and we were told only 2 available, don’t leave a menu and then tell guests there are only 2 choices

We have been travelling for more than 40 years, and my wife and I both agree, that this is possibly the best place we've stayed. Modern and clean rooms, and a short walk to the Royal Mile. There is also a great bar/restaurant downstairs.

The hotel appears to be right next to a nightclub that was open till 1:30 on a Friday. We had an early train to catch the next morning and getting good sleep as we wanted to was very difficult.
Aside from that the rooms were well equipped and clean.

If you’re looking for a party, this is the hotel for you! Music in the evenings, big screen watching of sports events, lots of young people hanging out.
If you’re looking for a quiet night’s rest, suggest you avoid this place as the music goes late into the evening.

Noisy!!
Very noisy until the early hours of the morning with a local disco next door. The double bed was very small
