The hotel has plenty parking, comfortable rooms and great food. Beds are extremely comfortable, and the whole hotel is bright and clean. We left too early for breakfast but dined there in the evening. …

We recently stayed here because we had to be at the airport for 6am. The staff were very welcoming, and accommodating letting us checking in early, and provide us with directions to the bus to get downtown. Hotel was very quiet, clean and comfortable.

Not enough staff in the kitchen unable to cope with the number of guests, food was served incredibly slow and took a long time, over an hour. Not very good let alone when travelling with kids. Would not recommend staying here, there are alternatives.

John was excellent at the front desk. He answered all my questions and helped me check in quickly. The rooms are simple. The hotel is quiet. The showers are strange as the shower curtain is wider than the shower so it leaks. The location is close to the airport but not convenient to get to the airport. There is a small co-op shop at the entrance to the parking lot. The breakfast was nice with eggs, bacon, cereals, yogurts, croissants and fruit

The rooms are practical, but not the most attractive. Unfortunately, there was only one blanket in the double room (but four pillows?) and the bed creaked. Cleanliness is okay. We stayed here for one night before our flight but wouldn't want to stay longer or again.The walls are quite thin, so you can hear conversations in adjacent rooms, and the slamming of doors is unbelievably loud and penetrating. This, combined with a travel group that was very inconsiderate at night and also partied in the hotel parking lot, prevented me from getting a restful sleep, even with earplugs. I couldn't sleep with the window closed due to the heat in the room. We were grateful for the fan!After breakfast, our room cards stopped working, which was quite annoying, but the issue was resolved by a friendly staff member. All in all, a disappointing and unrestful stay.

The hotel is budget and so my 4 star is on the premise that it’s a budget hotel.The room was fairly nice, bog standard but clean and tidy.The bathroom was clean and well lit with some amenities however, no bath. The only issue with the bathroom was the shower pressure, which is minimal.The staff were very friendly and welcoming.Again I know it’s a budget hotel however the communal area (bar/restaurant) is lacking some love and needs a bit of a rejuvenation. Considering the price of drink and food, it would be nice to sit in a bit more modern and welcoming area.One of the only issues was accessing the hotel via public transport from Edinburgh, it’s quite faffy and sometimes the Ubers let you down.All in all it did its job for pre flight stay.

Great location near the Airport, room was clean and staff were helpful. Place was fine for a night stay before our flight. Room is was very barebone and wifi was not included. A 20min walk to McDonald's and there is a grocery store near by.

Useful if you're on a budget. To far from the airport to be an airport hotel, small rooms (nice and clean), poor breakfast.
