Lovely hotel. From the outside it looks like a hotel you wouldn't normally bother with but inside was super bright and modern. Room was a bit on small side like you had to squeeze past the bed sideways to get to bathroom. Bathroom was very compact but we were fine with that. We only needed a bed and were not spending any great length of time in there. Location for us was perfect. Its a 15 min walk away from town and train station but in a good location with plenty of cheaper bars and close to the theatre and St James shopping.
We had breakfast which was plentiful and fresh and not dried out like some breakfast buffets are.
Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others

Slightly cold room but great location and space!

Amazing place and so vlose to the theatre which was why we qere thwre. Great amenties.

No elevator, which made carrying large luggage a bit challenging. The breakfast was quite basic, and there was no fruit. However, the area was relatively quiet.
09.08.2025 StephenHu
It was decent. I arrived a couple of hours early, around 1 PM, and wasn't able to check in yet, but they did offer free luggage storage. Considering how expensive hotels are in Edinburgh, it's actually a pretty good value-for-money option.

The room was good, spacious, and quiet.
30.07.2025 Guest
This hotel is spacious and bright, offering plenty of room. The rooms are clean and tidy, and you can even prepare light meals there. The facilities are comprehensive, the bed is very comfortable, and it's quiet and peaceful at night. Thoughtful complimentary snacks are also provided in the room.

Lovely hotel with very comfortable bed. Bathroom is quite small though and the carpet in the hotel room was a bit dirty
15.07.2025 yaolaiyaoqu
The hotel's location is great. A bus stop is right outside, making it just two stops to Waverley Train Station, and it's also within walking distance. Calton Hill is very close, and there are plenty of convenient dining options nearby.

Great coffee and cake. The variety of cakes is excellent, including gluten and dairy free options. Lunch is decent, but a bit pricey. Baby changing facilities and plenty of side for big parties.
16.12.2017 Anne
There is a handwritten menu in the window with the day's dishes on it. Good French cooking. I visited in the afternoon for a refreshment break while shopping. Service was welcoming and efficient.

I had a delicious gluten free flourless chocolate cake, which was served with cream.

The atmosphere was cosy and relaxed. The front part of the cafe is long and narrow and there is another seating area at the back.

The food is nice and tastes homes cooked. The presentation isn't that great but everything tastes great and the service was lovely. Lots of different choices on the menu. Really good value for good food.
26.11.2017 David
Nice place, good food, friendly staff. Orders around the shift from breakfast to lunch seemed a bit much though... Quite a few orders didn't come through.
20.11.2017 Aija
Some 'weird' menu items; but pick something you're are comfortable with and enjoy! I did dinner set menu of vegetarian antipasto, with the steak Main. Delivered at the same time so I could switch my flavour back and forth. Amazing. Top 5 meals I've eaten in Edinburgh in 2 years. Also heard some Beatles, stones and Cat Stevens, et al. Right up my ally (so thanks to whoever had control that night ;) )
Don't know about the deserts because I took a break to write this, simply because I want the meal to last longer x

Quaint, cozy atmosphere with good Italian food and friendly service.

Perfect place for delicious authentic Italian food, they welcomed us and our 3 kids- making the whole meal a fantastic experience. Amazing service. Highly recommend.
01.01.2018 stella
This is the place! Been coming to Edinburgh for many years now and this restaurant is one of the best. Cosy, fresh food, homemade dough and sauce. Just excellent if u r looking for real authentic Italian food.
31.12.2017 Brett
Looking for some straight forward Italian food, we came across the restaurant amongst others but we liked the look of the small bistro next to the main restaurant. The food is lovely and comes the ample proportions that you would expect from genuine Italian cooking but I would say that the outstanding thing is the service and the warmth of the staff. Authentic food in an authentic Italian setting. Great value too.
16.12.2017 Robin
A most enjoyable evening one could not fault the food and service I highly recommend this wonderful Italian restaurant.

Avoid at all cost, the food was like from yesterday and microwaved, waitress was quite rude and disrespectful, she could hardly hear or understand what I ordered and yelled at me. My wife ordered an ABC salad and it turned out to be a disaster.
16.12.2017 Perer
Seated for 4 people on a friday night, took too long to deliver our drinks, when the food finally arrived after 30 mins of waiting one got the wrong order, had to wait nearly 30-45 more mins for correct food. I had a classic cheeseburger and i was given the wrong order (it had bacon) seeing as i already touched it so i kept it but pulled the bacon off, it was nice until the 4th bite where it tasted sour for some reason. However desert was good, although you can not go wrongwith chocolate cake and ice cream, just wish there would have been more ice cream. While waiting for the check the machine went wrong and the person using it had to get help apparently it wasn't the first time it happened. For the establishment the music was too loud to have a conversation without shouting leading to a very sore throat. The waiter and waitress may have become deaf or hard of hearing due to the volume of the music

By far the worst experience I have ever had in Frankie and Benny's. We regularly go to one at Fort Kinnard which is always lovely.The omni one spoilt what was ment to be a childs birthday meal. Food cold. Service by far the worst I have ever experienced. Loads of server but extremely slow service. One course meal took 1hr 45m. Due to the long wait to play order then wait to be given food which had sat 10 mins under hotplate. Then trying to get the bill.
Never again.
12.11.2017 Justin
I don't normally write reataueant reviews, but this restaurant at edinburgh omni centre is terrible, worst staffs, disrespectful, waited 45 minutes for food, and the BBQ chicken was still frozen inside, chicken breast was as tough as a rock, the steak was tasteless, the ribs just taste like meat with no marinate. If you want some real Italian food and some respect, don't ever ever come to this restaurant, and I mean it
28.10.2017 David
Worst Frankie and Bennys ive visited. No atmosphere, poor service, dour staff and flys everywhere
