Mediocre
Pros:

Stanza sporca, abbiamo trovato unghie sulla moquette probabilmente del precedente ospite.
Non ci hanno nemmeno pulito la camera tra il primo ed il secondo giorno.
Stanza piccola, con il divano letto aperto non si poteva arrivare alla finestra :(

Hotel lontano da supermercati e fast food, bisognava prendere la macchina per tutto.

Saponi in bagno buoni della Dove!
Doccia grande e acqua sempre calda
Parcheggio auto gratuito.

1 night stay in our Scotland 2026 trip
Pros:

Hotel property is in semi urban setting in the outskirts of Edinburgh. It was a good alternative for a stopover for while returning from Highlands back to Edinburgh, if your budget doesn’t allow for a stay in the city. Similarly a good option if you are on your way to Highlands or Scottish coastal side up further north.

It is an old property hence we had kept our expectations lower. The property took the funds from my Credit Card before the arrival at the hotel even though usually all other properties used to take the payment for the stay upon arrival.

We didn’t have much options for dinner at the hotel as well as the nearby pub closed earlier. Hence it will be better to come prepared if you are planned to reach late.

Since the property is small, the restaurant area is also similar for the breakfast. It was decent one to have no complaints. Sleep was good, rooms were comfortable. Since it was just a night stopover and we were looking forward to our visit to Edinburgh, we didn’t bother much.

Incredibly helpful staff
Pros:

We stayed here for a wedding nearby and we couldn’t have asked for more to be honest. Incredibly helpful staff who organised an earlier check in for us so we could leave our bags and get ready for the wedding. The room was really comfortable and it was nice to have breakfast available the next morning. We would definitely stay here again if we were back in the area.

Disappointing, not great customer service
Pros:

Location, nearby restaurant was good

Cons:

There was some confusion about our stay which stretched check-in to 20 minutes. Once I was home I got a rather curt little Email saying as we had not turned up we would be charged the full amount & could I provide another card as my original card had been declined. Galling, as not only did I know we had paid in full but I could see it on my account.
All this after there was no hot water available… on the morning I was heading to a wedding. To be honest I felt they should be taking money OFF my bill, not querying my payment

BEWARE OF SHOWERS FALLING OFF WALL AND FLOODING BATHROOM
Pros:

I have only given this a rating of 3 because the staff were friendly and helpful. However we had some very serious safety issues whilst staying here.
I will first of all state the good things:
Staff - very friendly and helpful.
Location - ideal for what we needed.
Restaurant - the breakfast was better than expected and right next door to a reasonably good pub.

The very bad:
1. The shower - the unit connecting the shower to the water supply completely came off the wall when I tried to use it. It flooded the room, in fact everything got wet except me. If I had been standing right in front of the shower I could easily have been knocked off my feet, mostly due to the shock of it. It was very upsetting and frightening. If a child had been there they would have been knocked over.
2. The light switch to one of the bedside lights was missing. I only found this out because when I put my finger forward to switch the light on it went right through and ended up switching the light on somehow by the wires - goodness what would have happened if a child with wet hands had one that.
3. One of the curtains was half hanging off the wall.

I will say that was as soon as I was able to contact Reception the Maintenance Engineer arrived quickly. However this meant that I had to only have a wash in the sink and had to be in the embarrassing situation of asking a family member we were visiting to use their shower.

This has certainly tainted my view of Holiday Inns in general and the IHG group, I will not use them in the future, nor can I recommend this particular hotel.
