Excellent

Gorgeous room, and the bus stop outside had direct links into the centre of Edinburgh. The bar downstairs was a bit loud during the evenings but was likely just due to the World Cup! Amazing place to stay.
Our room was large - excellent shower and all clean. Bed was very comfortable, although the base needed attention - looked quite unsightly with chipboard showing. Had an excellent evening meal. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean and comfy rooms with a great shower but above the bar/function room with live music & parties both nights. Luckily we were not wanting an early night.
Ate at hotel bar both nights as convenient and food was fine
Staff were lovely. Got us into our room as soon as the housekeeper had finished cleaning it. Bed was a little softer than preferred and there was an event in the function room that was quite noisy until just past midnight but otherwise a comfortable stay and convenient bus stops into the city right outside.
Room was kept clean, as was the rest of the building. Access to the restaurant and bar was great. The hotel itself was also nearby lots of other places that was nice for our stay, such as other restaurants, the bus stop, grocery store and the beach.
It was a nice place to stay away from the busyness of Edinburgh, but still access the city through a 20-30 minute but ride.
Only negative was the mattress wasn't in amazing condition

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The rooms were clean. The staff were helpful apart from one who was grumpy. Disappointed thought breakfast was included or atleast available,only Saturday Sunday. The bar was ok a but found in the evenings. The covered area was cold had ceiling heaters but had ti keep switching on as they re on a short timer. I had food one night the service and food was good. Bar staff were good and helpful.
The accommodation is ok and the room looks nice but then you lay on the bed you can feed very spring etc and makes for not a good sleep. The bathroom looks ok until you need to wash in that basin aka bird bath as it's that small, also quite a lot of mould on the ceiling and window curtains. I paid £100 for the night and would expect body wash/shampoo to be included but it was not to be. Very poor and wouldn't return.

Staff was on point friendly chatty very approachable room was clean welcoming. There is a bus stop right outside on both sides of the road so easy to get in to Edinburgh. The beach is a five minutes walk.
Nice hotel, small but clean room. No bath just shower which we didn’t mind but only had soap so if staying longer would need to bring own toiletries. Staff are nice & friendly and great customer service. Nice pub down stairs with live music at weekend & TV for sports. Close to public transport (bus & train). Free Wi-Fi.
Stayed for one night at hotel,staff nice took me to my room and told me all i needed to no about the hotel.hotel had a restaurant but i never used it.hotel room was nice but no toiletries glad i brought my own room was clean bathroom and shower were very nice
Lovely little hotel and restaurant with exceptionally good staff in both bar and restaurant, breakfast was lovely, check in and out easy and straightforward.
