The property is ideally located near the airport for the Royal Farm show. Hotel is very quiet and away from the busy areas of the city. Restaurant staff are helpful, although may stand over you when signing your bill, they should stay off to one side.

Initially, I was disappointed with my hotel selection as this hotel is a fair way out of town, but, as it is near the university, and adjacent to a park & ride location, the buses run every 10 minutes. The distance from the city was not an issue for us. Parking was included - bonus, and being on the outskirts of town made it easier for us to travel up further into Scotland on day trips without fighting city traffic. Access to downtown Edinburgh was easy - 40 minute bus ride. Room was good - roomy - comfy bed - air conditioning. Buffet breakfast was same/same as other hotels. No complaints - full range of options. The dinner options at their onsite restaurant are limited. We opted to stay in town later at night at eat at a Pub in town. The buses ran late into the evening. Overall, good place to stay. Only downside is there are no dining options close by. I would happily stay at this hotel again.

I needed to cancel my reservation, and while Expedia tried to act on my behalf my request was refused by the hotel. This is very poor business practice.

Matthew was amazing!! He took the time to get to know us and always had a smile for us. He is knowledgeable and willing to assist in any way possible. The hotel room was clean and quiet. The hotel restaurant had great food. The hotel is only a 20-25 min bus ride to the City Center, so very easy. We loved the hotel and would highly recommended.

Try elsewhere if you can

This hotel is massively overpriced..the room and facilities are similar to a Premier inn. Unless you need to be on the university campus there are better hotels. But eakfast was at best average quality but on one day has so hectic I could not find a table.

Our third stay in this excellent hotel

This was our third stay here as a family and once again it didn’t disappoint. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The public areas are stylish and clean, checking in and out is quick and easy, and the breakfast is excellent.

Did not like the bathroom. They made it modern with glass wall and door not noise proof lol don’t need to know everything going on in there. This hotel is located on a college campus and while only 5 miles from city seemed a hundred miles away the only place to eat was the hotel. It did give me a life lesson on how to use a bus to get into town.

Love this hotel when working at Heriot-Watt. Clean and comfortable with excellent staff. Breakfast is basic but well done. You need transport though, it is out of the way for anywhere but the University/Research Park.
