  Basic but decent hotel for stopover

  Decent hotel for the price....especially in Edinburgh. We booked a queen room, the room was very spacious and bed was massive!

  Deserted

  You have a pin number to collect your key so you are not even greeted when you get there.There is no food offered so after an exhausting day we had to walk a long way to find any shops. Not a pub anywhere.You had to turn the shower on using a screw and there were no emergency notices on the door.We also had no window.You have a pin number to collect your key so you are not even greeted when you get there.There is no food offered so after an exhausting day we had to walk a long way to find any shops.
