    Exceptional

    Great place to stay.

    Pros: The location was very convenient for us as we were visiting the University. It is in a quiet location. The restaurant was very nice. The staff in reception and the restaurant were very helpful and nice and solved all our requests: taxi, kept the luggage for the day, allergies… the wifi was good both for breakfast and dinner. It felt quite distinguished to my family. The decoration was good. The room was not very spacious but big enough for us.

    Overall a lovely stay and...

    Pros: Nice and quiet location with free parking. The staff were polite and friendly with a special mention to Cheryl on breakfast service. The toiletries provided were loverly and beds very comfortable. Loverly little bar area which served delicious sandwiches which were huge!
    Cons: The gentleman who checked us in shirt could have done with a press. I thought the breakfast a little expensive although delicious. My double room was difficult to pass by bed to get to tea & coffee facilities as so close to wall (room 319)

    Pros: Great location under Arthur’s seat. The beds and pillows were so comfy. All the staff were very friendly especially the breakfast staff and Cheryl ordered some sausages for our dog which I thought was lovely. If you’re bringing a dog it’s a great hotel to visit. The shower and the toiletries provided were quality.
    Cons: Nothing it was great.

    8/10

    Very Good

    Good value boutique hotel in...

    Pros: Small, boutique-like, mid-market hotel managed by the University of Edinburgh, and located on the Pollock Halls of Residence site, southwards of the Old Town, next to Arthur's Seat and the Royal Commonwealth Pool aquatics complex. This is a relatively quiet area about 30 min on foot from the centre of the city (Princes Street) although that can be considerably shortened by making use of Edinburgh's excellent public transport buses . Good value for money at the price I paid (although the room was indeed tiny). The full Scottish breakfast was excellent.
    Cons: Hard to figure out exactly where it is from the map / instructions - my advice is to follow google maps !

    9/10

    Wonderful

    Excellent option if you’re looking...

    Pros: 1.Staff were super-friendly; 2. our room (a deluxe twin) was on the third floor on a corner so we had double-aspect windows with - believe it or not - Edinburgh afternoon spring sunshine streaming into the room; 3. you are just metres away from Holyrood Park - walks to Arthur’s Seat and Duddingston Loch are a must!
    Cons: Not a dislike really but be aware the property is next door to the Commonwealth Pools complex so there is a slight hum from all the systems that keep the pool running.
