    Location is great but make sure you sort out food beforehand

    Honestly couldn't fault our stay - ir was only 1 night but ovely and cosy but top of the range amenities e.g. the brand-new shower. Iain and Dot were lovely and personaable to communicate with. Super clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back!

    The location is opposite the Edinburgh Zoo, so it was quite far from the center of town, but the busses run frequently, so it wasn't a problem.

    Nothing our stay was perfect

    The room was great, beds were very comfortable and en-suite was a good size. Location was perfect with a bus stop taking us into the centre we never waited more than a few minutes. Dot and Iain were wonderful, very welcoming. Breakfast (available by pre order) was delicious. After we checked out we arrived at the airport to discover our flight had been cancelled. Dot kindly made a room available for the night at very short notice that completely saved us and made planning our alternative return journey so much easier. If I were staying In Edinburgh I wouldn’t look for anywhere else . We will be back .

    The curtains in room 4 don't fill the window, but there is a blind and it's really not that noticeable, other than that, no complaints!

    The location is very good, frequent bus services between the Airport and Edinburgh itself, zoo directly opposite. Sadly our paths didn't cross with the owners but they were lovely and very Informative, rooms had everything you needed, TV, kettle, comfy beds, shower ect, will deffo stay again!

    Coffee bags didn't work - good coffee is always welcome - Nespresso? Parking was difficult - OK it's Edinburgh - it's free but rare - can't be helped but be warned. Value for money is difficult these days - but this is very competitive. The coffee would confirm it!

    Room was good size, nicely decorated in a neo-colonial style. Modern but refreshingly NOT grey colour scheme, which was quite relaxing. Little balcony with table and chairs was a neat addittion. They have put a lot of effort in which paid off for me. Transport to City Centre and Airport very easy 3/4 buses from stops just across the road by the Zoo.

    Noise from fan in shower room, it kept running for 20 minutes after use. Macerator noise in middle of night when using toilet. Couldn't get TV to work & struggled to find working socket for phone charger.

    Accurate description of facilities & ease of parking despite busy location. Good access instructions. Directly opposite Edinburgh Zoo entrance. Bus stop nearby. Good view of Pentlands from room 2.
