Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests frequently praised the hotel's convenient location, especially its proximity to city attractions and public transport. Many found the accommodation to be good value for money and highlighted the friendly and helpful staff. However, cleanliness was a recurring issue, with several guests mentioning dirty rooms, bathrooms, and common areas. Bed comfort also received criticism, with complaints about small or uncomfortable beds and thin pillows. Despite some noise and basic amenities, the hotel was generally considered suitable for short stays, especially for those prioritizing price and location.

The location was okay. Not to far from the city centre, close to the Royal residence and Arthur’s seat. We loved the location. The room was great and clean too. We slept very well. What could be improved? Storage should be free. Towels should also be in the rooms rather than having to pay extra.

Pros (+) Very friendly staff, new facilities and very clean room. The venue is about 15 minutes walk from the city centre and convenient to get to Weverley train station.
Cons (-) The mattress wasn't the most comfortable- quite thin. But it wasn't a terrible sleep.
