Cafe does great meals for kids and adults. I love having a cappuccino and cake watching grandkids having Time of there live. Saltire is a way of life for me.”

“They do lots of different fun things to help people with disabilities and everyone”

“Excellent venue, perfectedly suited to meet Fringe Festival goers needs and requirements. Friendly, informative staff, access to toilets. Layout involved stairs to access performance space though there was also a performance room downstairs. Not sure if there was a lift for wheelchair access. Loved the arched ceiling and windows on the 2nd floor. Good space for Theatre!”

“Was passing by and felt like a cup of coffee. Fortunately, they have a pleasant cafe with good coffee and decent scones. Good, quick service. Enjoyed my time there.”

“Absolutely must visit in Edinburgh. It's amazing experience for children and adults. All staff were great. You can get really nice food after in the café. There is charge for parking.”

“A decent wee soft play with a great outdoor playground. Came here for a kids birthday party and it was great. Definitely on the small side, but the kids had a great time, the cafe was good and the staff were helpful and friendly. I’d recommend it.”

“Love the place. Always clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful.”

“Well established community placement have lots of things going for elderly and youngsters we went to see the wrestling and kids really enjoyed it friendly place”

“Well I loved it but just cos of Adam van Bendler and fact being there with my girlfriend and her friends. Staff was nice but we had short contact as it was stand up.”

“Always very good venue. Excellent training and learning environment.”

“Great venue with a variety of shows on during the Fringe. Building is beautiful but has a lot of stairs. If you have access issues it is best to phone ahead to avoid the crowds. Disabled access is on the Royal Mile at the back of the building.”

“Very friendly staff and warm relaxing Hall. Great for the kids to enjoy the adjoining playpark”

“I love this place we always take my kids there. Sometimes the staff are in a foul mood but who wouldn’t be having to parent other peoples children all day everyday. I do think someone should always sit at the front desk as I’ve heard people ring the bell a hood 5-10 minutes and the staff not hearing it due to children or parents shouting. Think they need to keep an eye on the car gate as parent leave it open and I’ve seen children run on to the tracks whilst the cars are being used… the parents are never paying attention. I spend most of my time at the teddy machine my family are obsessed to have a claw machine that actually gifts prizes. Don’t get the chicken nuggets or their version as they taste utterly disgusting like they’ve got freezer burn but can’t go wrong with the equipment. It’s about the only safest place for toddlers as other places have concrete at the bottom of slides or have no safety rules so 7-15 year olds push the younger kids but not at play planet my kids never leave there injured. Thank you”

“Fabulous venue for intimate wedding or special occasion Food and staff fab”

“Lovely wee theatre. Good sound and lighting and comfy seats. And the production I went to see was great too”

“My daughter's party was booked for a Friday afternoon and it turned out to be a great slot. Had a relatively quiet environment and plenty of sraff to help with preparations and food. The hall is spacious and lots of toys to share between the 25 guests. Also was allowed to use speaker so we could play some music. Party was great and all children fitted nicely into the party room for their snack. Really handy to have as venue with a well priced party package, will definitely consider for next year too.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the class tonight on mindfullness helped me a lot.”

“Great soft play area, lady in the soft play very helpful. Will definitely be back.”

“Everytime we take our daughter here she has a great time and all staff members are just amazing with her take there time to always have a wee chat with her keep up the good work”

“Nice and clean room's. Plenty of space to dine and the bar area is reasonably sized. Parking, Plenty of spaces and will fit the larger SUV style car's too. Staff are polite, friendly and very helpful. Pool, steam room and the changing area's all in good order and clean. Can't remember on the pool area but the room's and bar are wheelchair accessible. In house WIFI available. Would I visit again? Yes yes I would. We found it a very good spot for excursions as it's located near the main road's and made the day trips start well. No body wants to sit in traffic at the very start of a day out. Forth bridge and Kelpies are very close by if you want to cross them off your bucket lists quickly.”

“Excellent Leisure centre with Gym, indoor sports, tennis courts with floodlights. Some of the tennis legends played at the center court including Andy Murray and McEnroe!”

“This place is stunning. Loved the views, especially on a sunny day.”

“Such a neat little place! I’ve been looking for something like this for my daughters dorm and to bring back home as gifts. So glad we had to go to the post office and stumbled upon this shop. So many cute little things from wooden dolls to laundry baskets!”

“Always a pleasure coming here. Well done to the team for keeping the softplay clean and offering great food. I used them for a birthday party too and the experience was most enjoyable! The kids had a fab time and, again, party food was fantastic!”

“Very well equipped store. To my surprise I found exactly what I was looking for and more! I will definitely come back for my future projects, because there is everything one may need: from picture frames and puzzles, through jars, sewing materials to models, kits and even kids craft and paint.”

“Good for young toddler's to meet and play aswell as parents. The staff are brilliant”

“4th Motel One we've stayed at and still yet to be disappointed! Staff are always very accommodating and welcoming. Our room had a view and it was a great choice. We slept very well in the king-size bed. I particularly like the fact that every Motel One I've been to offers early check-in when possible and they will gladly look after your bags before and after check-in/checkout. As usual, the hotel had a modern decor with low lighting and a stylish vibe. I always feel comfortable in a Motel One. The fact that this one is a minute away from Edinburgh Waverley train station is also very convenient!”

“Excellent multiscreen venue for enjoying those new blockbuster releases, all of which are made extra special thanks to the brilliant new Dolby surround sound system.”

“Absolutely the best park we have been to. They have the following things to do; - water area (advised to bring sore clothes) -4 different set of swings - 2 slides - loads of climbing things - musical instruments - roundsabouts - seesaw's - balancing activities The beach is right next to it as well. Bonus feature is the train track runs right past the park so if your kid is into trains they will spend the whole day looking at the passing trains. We ended up going the day the schools went back so we basically had the whole park between 2 or 3 children. I've no doubt it gets super busy on weekends. 10/10 can not recommend this enough.”

“Clean and tidy. Well supplied with bins. Great view of Scotland's national rugby stadium.”
