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. Restaurant and bar were busy with locals…great food, service, selection at reasonable prices. Thanks to Mike for a warm welcome and help in getting around

8/10 Very Good

Torfin review.
The staff were amazing and friendly and very helpful. We honestly couldn't have asked for better staff. We booked a Deluxe King Room and we were disappointed as it was rather a small room. In the description for the room there was a cappuccino machine (as well as a kettle) heating and the room was soundproof. There was a kettle but no cappuccino machine, the heating was a space heater that was rather noisy when turned on. and the room was most definitely not soundproofed as we could hear the music from the bar downstairs and our tv when we went into the hall. But the most disappointing thing was the bed. It was so uncomfortable. We could feel every spring in the mattress and none of us slept at all. Also there were two lights out in the bathroom so we were basically showering in darkened room.

6/10 Good

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport. Our experience was disappointing. When we got there, the restaurant was closed and that is where you check in to the hotel. It was raining and we had to walk around the property and stand outside trying to figure out how to check in. We ended up having to scream through a window until somebody heard us. The person that finally opened the door and checked us in was apologetic and very nice. The rooms are in the back of the restaurant and there is no lift, which is inconvenient when you have a lot of luggage. The rooms were small but comfortable. The location is only 10 minutes from the airport. So that is convenient. We did not eat there so we cannot comment on the food, which is supposed to be very good. I think the experience would have been better if they would have explained the check in process ahead of time.

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.

4/10 Fair

Staff was wonderful. However, the room was stuffy and loud. Located on a busy street. If you open the window, which is the only way to cool off the room, the traffic noise makes sleeping difficult. Again, the staff who welcomed us were lovely. Best part of the experience. Room: not so great.

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.
