Pleasant stay.

We had a 3 night comfortable stay at hotel. The room was clean, spacious and well prepared. Had dinner from the pub every night and their food was great and reasonably priced. There wasn't much needed from the staff but they were friendly professional and helpful when needed. We found the location to be immensely ideal when visiting Edinburgh. 6-7 minute to Livingston North train station with free parking, 2 big shopping centres with many eating options in walking distance,Starbucks right in front. I would like to suggest the management to pay little attention to the middle access door to the rooms which is noisy specially when there is a lot of guests movement. Maybe a soft close mechanism would mitigate the issue. Also the cosmetic appearance of the rooms could be improved. It would also be a bonus to provide family rooms with some wardrobe, specially for the ones staying few nights. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at hotel.

Don’t

Been a while since I’ve stayed here and it’s now looking tired , not sure what was going on with the staff but not on it. Room smelt funny and the bed was not comfortable so uneasy night’s sleep. Toilet wasn’t very clean and had to clean the bath out.

Staff at check in were nice and friendly. Id travelled a ling way and was tired. Unfortunately my room was on the ground floor beside the front door and it was extremely noisy, banging all night off and on from the door, there didnt seem to be any soft close or spring to quieten its closing. The bed was very comfortable but the room cleanliness was not great, dirty floor lots of marks on walls and dust. Maybe a refurbish is due.

Dinner was lovely and convenient. Stay was ok, beds not that comfortable unfortunately especially the single bed my son was sleeping on…springs could be felt easily by running hands over mattress. Shame as it would have been a great stay otherwise.

Adequate

Hotel suited our needs. The room was spacious and clean. The extractor fan went all night, we couldnt turn it off. We had drinks at the bar and even though we ordered a certain spirit, at a certain price, we received a different, cheaper one. Even when challenged the barman said it was correct. Our second order was watched and we saw the wrong one being poured. It was changed and still didnt taste right. No refund offered.
