A hidden gem
Wanted convenient hotel..not in the heart of the city and not at the airport.. with restaurant to spend our last 2 days in Scotland. Room was well appointed…large rain shower.

Great spot in Edinburgh
Perfect spot for our last night in Scotland. Small hotel above a great local restaurant/pub. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff very helpful before and during our stay. Friendly staff at the pub, too. Primary reason for booking this location was easy access to the airport for an early morning flight and so for that reason: mission accomplished. Easy access from Haymarket Station when arriving and 10-minute morning cab ride to the airport.

Great venue, well located and friendly staff
Lovely stay, great venue. Rooms are very nicely decorated and a good size for a city hotel. Good amenities: a kettle for tea and coffee, biscuits in the room as well as an ironing board and hair drier. Pub downstairs did great food and there’s a little supermarket just across the street. Check in was very easy. Bus to the city centre took just 15 mins and then to the airport just 10.
