Ideal Leisure Hotel

The Hotel was clean, comfortable and the service always friendly. Whilst the food was good the menu could do with a little imagination and variety. However you try to dress them up steak, burger, fish & chips and curry will always be the same. Scotland has a great variety of fresh produce which was missing from the menu!

Traveler's tip on dining

The hotel is ideally situated for shoppers and tourists alike. Get out of the hotel and try the delights of Edinburgh - for a great meal try the Hard Rock Cafe on George Street. The Ribs and cocktails are a speciality.

Great Location

Room was very clean and neat. Wonderful bedding. Heated towel rack. Hair dryer inc.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Took the blue bus from EDI airport at 7 pounds, includes return ticket. Ten minute walk from city center to hotel. Arrived at 8:00 am, Stored luggage until first available room, about noon. Enter shopping mall from hotel. Many attractions in walking distance. Bus transportation great, 3 pounds will get you a day pass on any city bus. Do not drive in the city. Heavy construction of rail system not to be completed to 2012.
