Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were stunning and absolutely spotless, and the two teams that serviced them were lovely. The location was perfect for my visit to the City Centre, making everything so convenient. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, and I had a fantastic dining experience with a great choice of dishes.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were extremely spacious but a bit too dark with the low lighting. They were spotless and furnished well, although a little small. I couldn't tell the difference from the standard room, as they seemed exactly the same.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were comfortable, well-designed, and beautifully decorated. Everything was very clean, and I had everything I needed. The only downside was that it seemed like the room hadn't been used for a while, but that didn't bother me too much. The breakfast was delicious and up to the usual high standard, making me already excited for my next visit to my favorite hotel.
The hotel offers outstanding room cleanliness and modern comfort, with the convenience of Sky Sports for entertainment, although noise from the nearby lift could be bothersome. The service is excellent, with friendly and helpful staff, although not offering to check new equipment in the room. The location is convenient for airport access and a short drive to attractions, despite being situated near a housing estate and a supermarket. The dining experience is a mixed bag, with a good continental buffet but some dishes looking tired. Overall, a good value for money stay with minor room noise and dining issues.
I found the hotel to be a lovely stay overall. The rooms were immaculate, beautifully decorated, and cozy, although a bit small. The bed was very comfortable, but I was surprised to find out breakfast was not included and had to be paid for separately. The bedroom felt a bit cold initially, and the WiFi in the room was slow. I also expected a fridge in the room, which was missing. However, once all the lights were on, the room felt much brighter and led to a good night's sleep.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were stylish and clean, although a bit too dark for my taste. The service was incredible, with young yet highly efficient staff who were friendly and chatty, adding a nice touch to the stay. The location, while not central, was perfect for a 15-minute walk to explore the area. The dining experience offered made-to-order sandwiches, but it could be more informative to guests. Absolutely loved the modern amenities and the cleanliness throughout the property.
I was amazed by the room service at this hotel. I asked for something special to be put in the room, and it made my partner's day. The room itself had a huge mirror in front with a console table, creating a fantastic vibe. However, it could get a bit warm at night, so we sometimes needed to leave the air conditioning on.
Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable rooms filled with thoughtful extras like a glass bottle of water for each guest. The availability of free sky sports and movies was a highlight during my stay. However, being charged £50 for room add-ons was a bit unexpected.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall, with great amenities in the room and a fantastic shower, but there were minor issues like finding clothing on the floor and a blocked sink. The service was friendly and welcoming, although an extra £50 deposit was required. The location was convenient, close to the heart of South Queensferry but situated in a retail park with fast-food options nearby. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with good food at a higher price and some disappointments. A solid choice for a comfortable stay with a few hiccups.
I had a pleasant stay overall. The rooms were very clean and tidy, with excellent toiletries provided. The staff, while nice, seemed somewhat robotic in their interactions. The location was convenient for my needs, but dining options were not up to par with the pricing.
The hotel offers beautifully spacious and modern rooms that are immaculately clean and inviting. However, the bed setup with two small mattresses was a bit disappointing given the price. The service was friendly and welcoming, though there were some issues with communication. The location, while not ideal for tourists, is within walking distance of charming local attractions. The dining experience was pleasant, with room for improvement in management decisions. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which was stylish and comfortable. The rooms were starting to show signs of wear, with loose bathroom floor tiles, but overall, it was a nice experience. The service was fantastic with very attentive staff. The hotel's location, while close to the airport and convenient for transfers, offered a good selection of food and drinks. The dining experience was mostly enjoyable, although there were some disappointments with the food quality. Overall, a decent option for a stay near the airport.
