My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was spacious and airy, with crisp white linens that made it very comfortable. The service was excellent, and the location couldn't be better, right across from the famous pandas at Edinburgh Zoo. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of choices, although I would have preferred larger portions. Overall, a great value for the price.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable with nice twin beds and furnishings, although the older laminate floor wasn't my favorite choice. The lovely balcony and the convenience of having the bus station right at the doorstep were great perks, making it a convenient stay.

The room was ample size with nice twin beds and furnishings, though the 'old' looking laminate floor is not my ideal choice. The balcony added a nice touch to the overall stay.

The dining experience was delightful with hearty breakfast options including eggs, bacon/sausage, toast, beans, mushrooms, and various beverages. The proprietor's hand-cooked specialties were a highlight, though I would have appreciated larger portions and more fresh juice selections.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean with real quality furniture. However, there was no table/desk for working at with a computer. The location was perfect for getting into the city center and was right opposite the zoo. The dining was delicious, cooked fresh, and served in a beautiful dining room. The service was friendly and helpful.
