Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests frequently praised the hotel's excellent location and the helpfulness of the staff. The accommodation was generally clean and functional, suitable for short stays and budget-conscious travelers. However, many guests noted issues with small room sizes, uncomfortable beds, and cleanliness problems including dirty bathrooms and rooms.

The location was okay. Not to far from the city centre, close to the Royal residence and Arthur’s seat. We loved the location. The room was great and clean too. We slept very well. What could be improved? Storage should be free. Towels should also be in the rooms rather than having to pay extra.

Pros (+) Very friendly staff, new facilities and very clean room. The venue is about 15 minutes walk from the city centre and convenient to get to Weverley train station.
Cons (-) The mattress wasn't the most comfortable- quite thin. But it wasn't a terrible sleep.
