Nice little room but still with more space than I had expected. Decor is tasteful. Love all the quality products. Love the 'Do Not Disturb ' cat. Underfloor heating in bathroom was great to start with but it gets too hot when you stand in front of the wash hand basin for any length of time. Bed is good and spacious.

Actually, it wasn't all that bad; the wait was worse. I even managed to get some sleep. At 2 a.m., some guy came in and woke me up with his noise; no one is immune to that.

I would describe the twin lions hotel more of a b & b. It was very basic. It was only a 10min walk to murrayfield and they don't double / triple there price on match days.

I loved the location as I had access to the park for the children and to the shop. I loved that the room had enough beds for all of us (5 people). I would have appreciated if we could get plates, as we came with food. It was great the room had a microwave. There was plumbing issues that delayed our shower time. But stay was good.
