High Cost and taste of hotel meals

location for our needs.

Stayed in October 2023

The room was slightly dirty on arrival with a few cobwebs around but that's not a big issue just a nit pick. A bigger issue at hand is just the fact that the hotel was slightly outdated and is in need of a slight revamp.

Staff were friendly, bed was comfy, shower was warm and the room was warm and of course Magnis the cat in reception.

Location and cleanliness

Stayed in October 2023

Room a bit run down, carpet looked poorly vacuumed. Mattress and pillow not the most comfortable. Quite expensive but probably ok considering Edinburgh prices in general.

Not too far from the city centre (45min walking, 20min by bus). Good breakfast (although exactly the same every day) - beans, eggs, toast, some pastries, cornflakes, fruit etc., ok for vegetarians. Clean bathroom, hot water with good water pressure. Good heating, very warm in the room. The location was quite and nice, next to a large park. Bus stop right in front of the hotel with direct connections to the centre. Nearest M&S and restaurants 15min away walking.

The property felt a little dated, probably wouldn’t stay there again.

Close to a bus stop and good location to get into the city centre. Breakfast was very good.

Service was slow, and the hotel was rather tired.

Comfortable

Just the need to carry out some re-decoration. It has great potential though. The lock on my room door was vey tempermental an it always took multipe efforts to et a green light. I had to get the card changed twice.

Breakfast was great and the staff very friendly. The decor was rather in need of re-doing, threadbare in places and lots of scratches etc. which was a pity as the hotel was lovely. I would go there again.

Location in the middle of nowhere and well out of the way of the city and attractions.

Nice spacious room

Rooms were clean and beds comfortable.

Great location from downtown via bus. Staff were excellent

A little on the expensive side for what you get and to be so far away from the city centre, but it was fine.

The hotel is lovely. The room was large and clean

Stayed in October 2023

A bit far from the city to walk there but there are cheap buses.

Braid Hills Hotel was once one of Edinburgh's Best Western hotels. It retains all the charm and comfort of that time. The room was spacious and the bathroom very comfortable. A great asset of this hotel is its restaurant with quality international cuisine. The Scottish breakfast is also to be recommended. The bar was at the right level for the place. The reception staff were very professional and friendly.

Loved the stay in Briad Hills Hotel. Nice location and view of the park. Room was spacious. The icing on the cake was the surprise upgrade to deluxe. Really appreciate the hospitality of the staff to make our stay wonderful.

Long way to walk to the room from reception

Closeness to city centre and public transport on the doorstep

Stayed in October 2023

The hotel was tired and in need of new carpets and a fresh lick of paint

The food was very good and reasonably priced.

Stayed in October 2023

Don't have a cat and cat food in the reception. It was a dirty bowl with half eaten food, some dont like cats and some of our guests joining had allergies. Not professional really

Staff were great

Stayed in October 2023

There was no lift to the rooms upstairs. Stairs were quite long.

The staff were excellent and the room was delightful .

Stayed in October 2023

Ate in the restaurant that evening and the service was friendly but poor (did not make a fuss when we had to pay 10% service charge) as the food was very good and priced fairly. The pillows on the bed were like thin bricks.

Second stay and were given a free room upgrade which was a bonus.

If you have heavy luggages and you are getting there by bus, you either need to go up 2 flights of stairs or go around a little bit further to a ramp which is not ideal. But it’s no big deal.

Nice location - a little far from the city center but there is a bus stop right in front so getting anywhere was easy. It was also only a 15-min car ride to the airport and the front desk can call a cab service for you when needed. The room was big enough that we could open two luggages with plenty of space to walk around in. Best part is that they have a beautiful resident cat named Magnus!

I was at a conference nearby so the hotel was well placed for using the local bus service for a few stops.

Stayed in October 2023

It would have been useful to have a sign at the end of the stairs by the bus stop to say it was an entrance to the hotel. Larger maps of the city center at the desk would have been handy for travellers.

Braid Hills had a good variety for breakfast. There was a coffie station in the room which was refreshed daily. Clean room.
