Hotel in Edinburgh

“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.”

“With some mixed reviews I wasn’t sure what to expect at Kildonan, but I was pleasantly surprised. Myself and a family member enjoyed a beautiful 3-night stay in this hotel, which truly has a homely vibe. With great transport links from the city centre we arrived within 20 minutes. Hamza greeted us warmly on arrival, helped us check in, and kindly showed us to our room, which was quietly situated away from the main house. The grounds were well-kept, and our room overlooked a quaint little garden. Despite ample parking nearby, it remained a peaceful spot. The room was modern yet cozy, with thoughtful touches such as bottled water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies. A flat-screen TV, plenty of storage, and a bath all added to the comfort. Whenever we needed assistance, receptionists were just a phone call away and always dealt with queries professionally. Housekeeping staff were cheerful, asking daily if we wanted our room cleaned or snacks replenished. Ricardo at the main desk was another highlight — friendly, humorous, and professional, he made us feel right at home. On our last day, with a late train to catch, the hotel kindly stored our luggage. When we returned, a lovely receptionist even welcomed us to enjoy some tea before heading off, which was a thoughtful touch. The only downside was accessibility: stairs are unavoidable in most areas, and although some ground-level rooms exist, they are limited. This could be a challenge for less mobile guests. Overall, Kildonan was welcoming, comfortable, and full of friendly faces. I would happily return and recommend it for a relaxing stay.”

“For the price, this place was perfect. We had a great night sleep, comfy pillows, 24 hour bar, and breakfast. We stayed in luxury stays for most of our trip but stopped here before the airport. Felt like we wasted some money other places after staying here, it always feels risky booking a place that’s cheaper but we were incredibly satisfied with everything.”

“Very nice spacious clean appartment...no bad points what so ever”

“This was our first time in the city and this was the ideal place to stay, it was surrounded by great places to eat and drink. The accommodation was amazing, it was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast was perfect and had a good variety. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definately recommend it to anyone coming to the city.”

“I was a tenant with A Flat in Town and couldn't have wished for better agents for my first rental. Lynne was my property manager and was really friendly and helpful in response to any queries I had, always going above and beyond. Any issues that did arise with the flat were handled quickly and efficiently. I would thoroughly recommend A Flat in Town to anyone looking to rent in Edinburgh in future!”

“Very quick to get to Edinburgh City centre (19 minutes drive). Nice hotel and good pub, friendly.”

“Wonderful small hotel. Super convenient location close to Haymarket station (so, convenient to everything) and many excellent local restaurants. Very caring staff. I'm not sure it actually is but it totally feels like a family enterprise. Our room was nice but a bit snug. Great mattress and shower though! Heartly cooked breakfast included.”

“Stayed here for a week. Location is great with many amenities around. The rooms are very nice and clean. The best thing about the place is its hosts and their hospitality. The owner and staffs are super friendly, helpful and always ready to assist any request with a smile. It was indeed a home away from home.”

“Nice friendly pub,good atmosphere & fair price”

“This is a wonderful place with a lovely owner and the people from the village. I had an honour to spend an evening in the pub with the locals, and it was my best evening during the whole schottland trip. I would never think it can be! I have never experienced sich a friendly and open atmosphere! I will love to come again. Thank you, Dave, Alan, Claire, and all other guys at that eve!”

“Stayed over a couple of nights while taking a short vacation back home, perfect location for walking to see the Forth Rail and Road bridges, with a glorious view of the new Queensferry crossing just a couple of minutes walk away. There is a Tesco and a McDonald's nearby too. Staff were lovely, hotel room was pleasant and clean, extra heater provided in room if it got chilly, tower fan if it got a bit too hot in summer (when I went). I'd definitely recommend anyone visiting to see the attractions, use this hotel as a stop over. It's lovely”

“We had a lovely stay at Barony Castle! All the staff were so nice and helpful, thanks to Bethany especially! Our room was great, with a nice view of the garden, and the walks around the grounds in the snow were really pretty - we hope to be back soon!”

“Hampton by Hilton, Edinburgh Airport This is my second stay at the Hampton by Hilton, and it continues to impress. The hotel is well-appointed, quiet, clean, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. The breakfast is exceptional, offering a great variety of options. Unfortunately, on this particular evening, there was a group of young people in their early 20s on our floor who were slamming doors and being loud and obnoxious. After tolerating the noise for two hours, I decided to call reception. They responded immediately and took swift action to resolve the situation. The night staff handled it efficiently, providing exceptional service. Despite this isolated incident, I highly recommend this hotel for its overall quality and excellent service.”

“Staff are always great. Always bring in the dog and they’re great with him… Special mention to Kimberly as her service is always 10/10. Henry’s always a good laugh when we’re in too. Food is always fab too.”

“Very affordable and great location for a hotel! We were both pleasantly surprised with the room! Great service, would definitely recommend and come back here again!”

“My Daughter and I recently stayed at Royal Mile Edinburgh. All the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. All our meals were absolutely delicious thanks to chef Andrew. From Receptionist to waiting staff, house keepers a big thank you to you all for looking after us. We’d definitely recommend Royal Mile and we’d like to stay again some time soon. Xx”

“Works Christmas dinner. Absolutely fantastic food! The service was top notch too. Location is very handy for the M4 (Junction 15 is a stones throw away). Highly recommended. Photos don't include the bowls of accompanying veg.”

“Quietly located just off the Royal Mile and 5 minutes walk to Holyroodhouse palace. Room is comfy and a bit spacious. Early check in was granted at no cost. All staff at the reception were great as well as Megan at the restaurant.”

“This was a very good value for the location, parking, breakfast, dog friendliness. It's very hard to find hotels with private parking in the centre of the city. It can be a bit full depending on the season, but we always found a space the days we stayed. The location is great, you just walk to the places around the castle. Very good breakfast, including cooked to order in addition to the buffet. The rooms vary a bit in refurbishment, they are decent though and the service good too. The price is more than reasonable for what I got.”

“The most kind-hearted hotel I have even been in. Rooms are beautifully done and the people there are incredibly sweet and welcoming. Any issue or request was met with a smile and a smooth, fast response. I am incredibly happy to have stayed there and would/will definitely stay there again when possible.”

“Good no frills hotel at a reasonable price for the area. Excellent location. We had an issue with the sheets and they sorted it out real quick using their whatsapp service. A no frills option if you are just using the place to sleep. Its a quieter location than the central Ibis so got a good night's sleep. Mind, we were on the top floor. I would use this one again.”

“Very clean and great rooms. Very comfortable bed. A very nice breakfast but very crowded as well. On the water front, very close to the Britannia ship. Easy to walk along the waterfront and some wonderful restaurants at the pier house. there is a fee for parking with a discount as a hotel guest”

“Traveling for work, I've been choosing this hotel every time. Perfect location close to the airport and easy to access with public transport. The rooms are modern, clean, with a touch or luxury. Big plus to all staff for being so friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely fantastic with solid portion sizes and good flavours. Can recommend to anyone traveling to Edinburgh.”

“We had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn Express, Royal Mile. Upon arriving a few hours early, David kindly assisted us by storing our luggage and went the extra mile by recommending places to visit in the city, which was extremely helpful. Later, Claudio checked us in efficiently and continued to stand out with his excellent service throughout our stay. At checkout, it was a pleasure to be assisted by both David and Claudio once again. This hotel is truly a must-visit — the team genuinely cares about their guests, and the combination of outstanding service and prime location makes it an excellent choice.”

“Booked this hotel very last minute after staying in what was the worst hotel I've ever visited. Happy with the price which although is expensive, isn't that bad for Edinburgh. The hotel is surrounded by bars and restaurants but I didn't hear any of this from my room (I was on the fourth floor). The reception staff were polite and informative, giving me the details I needed for my stay and informing me where the room was. Unlike other boutique hotels in Edinburgh I've stayed at there is a lift (elevator for our American friends). The entire hotel is clean and fresh wish lush carpets (makes me assume was recently upgraded). My room was very generous, high ceilings and a very comfortable bed. There is an iron and ironing board, kettle with tea and coffee etc. (as you would expect). I would very happily stay here again”

“Afternoon tea for four. One was gluten free (allergies). We made use of the Wowcher offer to try this out and really were not disappointed. For those in the know, coeliacs is not the easiest of food to get right but the chef at the Braid Hills Hotel completely smashed it! My daughter was delighted with the quality of the food that she was served, as were we all. My son-in-law raved about the haggis bites, which was good because he was able to eat mine (haggis, yuck, lol but it's just not for everyone). The smoked salmon pate was, however, delicious. Now lets get down to the sweet treats. Wow! Again, my daughter was so pleased with the home made scone, scones are notorious at the best of times, but take the gluten out and you will struggle to get them as light as these were! All of the food was truly lovely. Food wise I would put it up there with some of the best in Edinburgh, however the dining room was maybe not up there. That said, it was very far from being bad, I would say that it was simply average. Please remember though, the cost of this, even without a Wowcher deal, was so much lower than "the best in Edinburgh" so for the food to match that standard what's not to like. All I am saying is that if you are looking for swanky, this is not the place, also, if you are looking for a greasy spoon this is not the place. If you are, however, looking for a place that is warm and welcoming, you have found your little piece of heaven. Service though, wow, we had an Asian waiter, was he from India? certainly somewhere around there, I only say because I did not get his name and would really love for management to know what an absolute gem he was. So warm and welcoming and extremely attentive from the minute we arrived until we left. Oh,and, not on the menu for the afternoon tea was some red lentil soup that the chef sent out with compliments to us, we all agreed we would have been extremely happy to order that had we been dining there, maybe next time. Yes, next time, there most certainly will be a next time.”

“We will definitely be looking at this as our go to accommodation next time we are through in Edinburgh. Absolutely sensational location in Edinburgh, steps away from Princes Street and any transport you could need. A reasonable price during the Edinburgh Fringe compared to other locations. Staff was lovely and very accommodating to requests. Luggage storage and laundry facilities available. Only very minor issues with the room (bed wasn't the most comfortable, but was adequate; musty smell in the bathroom that was hard to ignore; a few slightly loose porions on the flooring; internet was a little patchy) but nothing that I would class as a "problem". The lack of a lift again not a problem) is worth noting just for those who would need one (70 stairs up to our rooms was no issue for us, but don't get caught unawares!). High recommendation.”

“Had a great time here! Everything was great as expected. Only downside is that getting a Taxi might take a little, so if you are in a hurry plan for some extra minutes. The staff is realy helpful with this. Breakfast was also good! Nothing too fancy but there are enough options to please everyone”
