Ok, the name above the door says Wetherspoons, so you are not expecting the Ritz. That said, I have seen less well-furnished rooms in 4-star hotels. Spacious and very comfortable room. …

Everything here was very good. The staff were friendly both in the pub and the restaurant. But we were kept awake both nights by noises coming from the compressor near our room which was constant, so it would be great if some sound proofing could be put in.

We (group of five) stayed in this hotel for a couple of nights in two rooms. One of the main reason we selected this hotel was the Wetherspoon restaurant on the ground floor. I have to admit that we were not disappointed at all. The restaurant was fine in terms of prices and quality. I cannot thank staff enough. Both at the reception and restaurant they were very very helpful. The rooms were unusually big and clean.The location is between the airport and the city centre. We managed it by buying daily bust tickets while going to the centre. On the other hand accessing the airport was easy form that location.If you do not have to stay at the city centre and not looking for 5 star luxury, I highly recommend this hotel.

We flew into EDI in the morning (around 10am) and took a taxi to our hotel to drop off luggage, which they were very accommodating for. Everything was clean, the room was quiet and a good size. Staff was helpful with tips for the area and the food we ordered that evening was great. Location wise it was perfect as there's a bus stop right there, and our car rental was just a few blocks away so we walked down the next morning to pick it up. Would definitely stay here again.

As I'm a wheelchair user I'm unable to comment on the rooms, as the hotel isn't accessible. However, I use the pub regularly and consider it to be my local. The app is amazing and the staff are so helpful and friendly.

This pub has a menu we haven't seen anywhere else in the area. We went around 5pm and a Sunday and the pub was busy but we were lucky and got a seat at the front window. I'm glad we did as we went passed through the back area and found it very cool .The food was ordered via the app and we were served quickly. We enjoyed a chicken kebabs and drinks deal. Excellent value.

The location is good for access to the airport, check in ok and reception was friendly. Beds and pillows comfy and shower hot. There is no lift , so if you're on the second floor that's 4 sets of stairs. The BIG negative was the noise of an outside exhaust fan ? from the kitchen ??ALL night and skylight windows that didn't close completely to even try and keep the noise out. Tip if you are going to stay here check the proximity to the exhaust fan unless you have great earplugs.

Arrived very early morning due to a delayed flight. Night manager very pleasant and helpful. Could benefit from easier access at the entrance and to get to rooms, a lot of stairs. Room noisy due to traffic on main road. Breakfast next door, was really good value and great variety of options

We stayed in Edinburgh for 3 days when first in Scotland. The room was clean an comfortable. It was right on a bus route to take us to the areas we wanted d to go and having a pub/restaurant there was great. No elevator but the nice guys at the front carried our bags up.
