Excellent service. Friendly attitude. Managers helped as much as possible. Room was small but reasonable size. Breakfast was as described - continental. Nice location with a lovely view. Close to local shops and 5-10mins bus ride to City centre.

Me and my husband stayed here in October 2011 for our honeymoon. When arrived the staff were extremely friendly and when we got to our room we was greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine. We stayed here for five days apart form the room being a bit cramped excellent service, excellent cleanliness, brilliant breakfast, and great location we only... More

When checking in we were advised we had to pay upfront and there was extra for credit card - not something stipulated when booking. Upon entering the room our first impressions were it was extremely small and where was everything going to go?? Only one of us had a bedside table which is where most of our stuff was placed,...

I would not stay at this hotel again, nor would recommend it to anyone because of the management’s attitude. I ended up going to a doctor because of the bad mattress at the hotel, which could have been easily avoided, had management cared about the guests comfort and not only about making money. The hotel managers leave at 9 pm... More

Left an unopened chocolate bar on the bed. The packaging had been chewed through by something later in the day, saw a mouse in the room a little later. A few other issues, bed bugs, a souvenir went missing from our room, wifi only works in the hotel managers office, hot water runs out, lack of customer service.

A previous review of this hotel was removed because I added comments about parts of the hotel I had not experienced and I withdraw those comments. However I stand by what I said about the hotel owner. He was rude, aggressive and, in my opinion, should not be working in tourism. Based on my experience I would advise lone women... More

Stayed at the Merith for one night early November before we had an early morning flight from Edinburgh Airport. As per some of the comments before, the room was small and the walls thin as we could hear someone having a pee (often too!) during the night. We booked it because it was Cheap, clean and cheerful hotel. You pay... More

This must be the worst hotel we have ever stayed in – yes, really! On arrival we were ignored for several minutes by three members of staff and were invited to pay before being given keys – with an additional charge for using plastic. Unfortunately we’d booked through a booking agent website so didn’t have the option to cancel once... More
