    Noise from other guests and hear water running when rooms above were showing or using toilet flush.

    Nice room size, booked a twin and got 2 rooms instead which worked well for us. Had a nice little gift bag of goodies. Good walking, woodland path, to Murrayfield. Gluten free options at breakfast and happy to prepare separate things from the buffet for you

    Bathroom was bit small but worked well for three of us. Was expensive for night but it’s supply and demand when there is a concert nearby!

    Friendly staff, great location, walking distance Murrayfield. We stayed for Eras Tour and hotel had decorated for the occasion which made it extra special . Great view of castle from our room , would stay again if travelling for event at the stadium. Great breakfast too !

    Because of the Taylor Swift concert the room was very expensive but all hotels were the same

    Comfortable beds, great breakfast. We were here to see Taylor Swift and there was a little goody bag in the room which was a nice touch

    Price was high but so we're all hotel and BnB prices for that weekend. To be fair, given the proximity to the venue, this was high, but okay.

    Staff and hotel worked really hard to make the army of Swifties welcome (Taylor Swift concert at Murrayfield). The welcome bag was a lovely touch.

    Comfortable hotel; super convenient for Murrayfield

    My one criticism is breakfast - we wanted to go at about 9:20 and there was such a long line that we waited for a few minutes before giving up as we were nowhere near the front. So didn’t get that despite it being included in the room rate and had to pay for it elsewhere. I’d suggest thinking about how they can better accommodate a rush at breakfast peak times.

    We stayed here for a concert at Murrayfield - the rooms were clean and comfortable and it’s super well located from the stadium. We were in our room 35 mins after the concert ended which is pretty good going and great not having to worry about transport. The staff were so lovely and welcoming and it was super sweet how they had made a little photo area for Swifties.

    Our heating & cooling wasn’t working in the room. They did supply a fan, however the room was quite warm, with no window to open. We were offered another room, however this would only have a double and a sofa bed, not two doubles.

    Easy to access the city, staff were very friendly.

    The children’s park could do with a bit of an update/ upgrade. Our first room didn’t have working air con and no windows that opened but we were able to change rooms with no issues. Parking should be free for guests.

    The property was neat and tidy. The rooms were a good size with all of the basic facilities you would expect. The staff were helpful and friendly. The check out time was good at 11am.
