i stayed five nights. the reception staff were always helpful. the hotel is central to the shopping center and edinburgh street food. the tram from the airport is a two-minute walk away. it is on the flat, so there is no dragging the suitcase up a hill to the hotel.
the room was very small, but this did not impact my overall stay too much. i could hear some noise from nearby rooms.

the location was great i did not have to walk much to get to places.
the room i got had an awful smell. i think it was the room 1 double bed suite in the basement, as there was no ventilation and it reeked of sewage. the price was not acceptable for the quality.
