surprisingly NICE experience
easy access coffee order warm lady bus access
the location was GREAT i found. bus access to the city was so easy. the lady each morning made my coffee just right. she remembered my toast order too, nice. she was REALLY warm.
some updating would benefit the place, especially new carpets. it's only a minor thing, but worth mentioning.

adequate stay
bus location friendly staff breakfast availability mould issue poor tv signal worn furniture
I found a bus stop nearby. This made getting into the city quite convenient. the lady at breakfast was very friendly and remembered my order of coffee and toast each morning. it was nice this spot provided what i needed before heading out to explore..
The bathroom did have some mould, especially in the shower. This was a bit off-putting. the tv signal wasn't great, and there were only a few channels available. the headboard looked pretty worn..

coffee facilities walking distance
The room included tea and coffee facilities. Plenty of parking was available both in the front and at the back of the hotel. The location was great as a bus stop was situated right outside (very convenient). Craigmillar Castle is also within walking distance.
The hotel looked a little tired.
