Overall Rating

Good

The hotel is located in Lauriston Place which is well served by local bus services. It’s a short walk to both Lothian Road and the Grassmarket.

Disabled Access In and Around

Good

Access in and around the building: Getting around the building was good as there are bright wide corridors. The restaurant and bar were well laid out with good contrasting colours. Lifts were large and also went down to the swimming pool, gym and car park levels. Access in the accessible bedrooms and bathrooms: The accessible rooms were bright and spacious. Fitted with alarm cords and deaf alter pillow alarms. Access in the dining area: The dining area is large but there is a logical route in and staff will help you find a table. Access to other facilities: The reception was to the left as I went in. The desk is equipped with a hearing loop.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

The hotel has an on site car park in the basement. Places can be reserved by prior arrangement with the hotel. There are bus stops within a few metres of the hotel entrance.

Accessible Toilets

Good

There was an accessible toilet by the gym and another in the changing rooms area. Both were large and well lit. You do have to go downstairs from the main areas to get to these.

Staff

Excellent

The staff we met were cheerful and very helpful.

Additional Information

The hotel is well equipped, bright light and friendly. The addition of a pool, gym, on-site parking and lots of lounge space were a great bonus.
