“The Stag Head strikes me as a place where the community matters as much as the comfort. It has adapted creatively, and while some menu items may need a second look from the kitchen, the commitment to service and local spirit shines through. The outdoor beer garden, born of necessity, sounds like a genuinely welcoming space.”

My room had a view of The Forth Bridge. The bus stop to Princes Street was very close to the hotel. It was less than a minute walk. The airport bus was also only 10 minutes away by foot.
The shower head did show a little mold.

Really good STAY AT A GREAT HOTEL
friendly staffairport busgreat locationloud music
I FOUND the staff very friendly and helpful. the bus from princes street stops very close to the hotel. It is less than a minute walk. also, the airport bus is only 10 minutes walk away. i would stay again because the location is fine. It is easy enough to get to princes street or the airport by bus.
the music was very loud until midnight. i barely slept because i had to be up at 3am for a taxi to the airport. i had hoped for an early night before a very early start.
