“Clean, newly renovated room and good value for money”
We had a mixed experience, although overall we felt the hotel offered very good value for money. The room had been recently renovated and was clean, modern and comfortable. Considering the price we paid, we were very happy with the room. The hotel is approximately an hour from central Edinburgh by bus, but for us the lower price made the distance worthwhile. Firstly, the bathroom door had no lock at all. This was particularly uncomfortable for us as a family with young children, as there was no way to have any privacy while using the bathroom without the children potentially opening the door at any moment. We understand that safety is important, but a proper privacy lock with an emergency release should be possible and would make a big difference. Secondly, the green emergency/exit light above the door was extremely bright. It remained illuminated throughout the night and cast a strong green light into the bedroom. My husband found it extremely disturbing and struggled to sleep because of it. We completely understand the importance of emergency lighting and would never suggest compromising fire safety. However, emergency lighting can be either permanently illuminated (maintained) or designed to operate when the normal lighting fails (non-maintained), depending on the requirements of the premises. If there is a safe solution that provides all the necessary emergency lighting and fire-safety protection without turning the bedroom into a brightly illuminated space throughout the night, we strongly feel that this should be considered
