In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Free, on-site parking — Parking is listed as an amenity, which is a real perk in Edinburgh where city-centre parking is often limited and pricey.
- Pet-friendly rooms — Pets are allowed on site, making it a rare budget hotel option for travellers with a dog or cat.
- Close to Edinburgh Zoo and golf — Edinburgh Zoo is around 6 km away, and the 18-hole Braids Hill Golf Course is about 2 km from the hotel, giving guests easy access to a popular attraction and a round of golf.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Out-of-town location — The hotel is on the A720 City Bypass, not in the city centre. Walking to central Edinburgh would be impractical, so a car or bus is needed for most sightseeing.
- Limited on-site dining — There's no restaurant listed, only vending machines, so breakfast and other meals will need to be planned elsewhere or brought in.
- No in-room climate control — The room amenities only mention non-smoking, with no air conditioning listed. Summer stays may rely on opening windows, which can be limited near a busy road.
- Guests' ratings are moderate — The hotel's overall rating of 6.6 out of 10 suggests a no-thrills experience rather than a polished one. You'll get the basics, but don't expect hotel extras.
