The fact that it's just a short drive from Edinburgh Airport is a definite plus for travellers, and the presence of an onsite restaurant means dining is effortless.

a quiet getaway with easy access
easy access lively atmosphere convenient location
I found the hotel's location very convenient, a bus stop was super close, maybe 100 yards away. the bus ride into the city center took about 35 minutes, a nice way to see the area. i enjoyed that the hotel was on a college campus. It gave the place a lively atmosphere.
the pillows were too firm for my liking. i did miss having softer options in the room. it made it a little difficult to get comfortable during the night.

an okay stay
room size public transport friendly staff missing teabag twin room misleading upgrade
the room had a good size. public transport to the city centre was accessible. the staff were amazingly friendly.
i found no teabag provided in the room, despite having a kettle. i booked a room with a double bed, but i got a twin room instead. the receptionist said i was "upgraded", but it didn't feel that way.
