Very convenient location, easy to find off the A1 if coming from the south / east. Park and ride opposite makes getting into the city centre very easy, and the drive to the waterfront to see the Royal Yacht Brittania was also very simple.

Can get some noise from the nearby train line, however we didn't find this a problem overnight.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast in the adjoining restaurant was very good.

Room was very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed.

Finding the hotel is very easy if you're travelling from the east as it's just off the A1, around 5 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. Parking is free and you're also directly opposite a park and ride into the centre so getting around is easy without a car. Taxi costs around £7.50 into the centre if you prefer.

Check in was easy, receptionist very friendly and the hotel rooms were standard travel inn fare - basic but more than adequate. Rooms were nice and quiet and air-con worked fine.

We had a meal in the adjoiniong pub and it was excellent - far better standard than the usual "brewers fayre" type place that is usuall attached to a travel inn. Very good food at a reasonable price. Breakfast the following morning was also excellent - cooked to order and delicious.

Would definitely stay here again.
