Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Away from the city centre — You'll need to drive or take the bus to reach central attractions – the hotel is about 10 minutes' drive from Calton Hill, so it's not a walkable sightseeing base.
- Limited on-site dining — There's no restaurant mentioned, though breakfast is available and nearby eateries are close – good to know if you want a full dinner without leaving the hotel.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the policy is no pets.
- Room types may be basic — Rooms come with essentials like a shower and heating, but there's no air conditioning or in-room minibar – fine for most, but not for those expecting extras.
