Our room. It was at the extreme end and the window was blocked by a roof. Also there were scraps in the corridor. Stairs were steep, no porter service for climbing 2 flights with senior citizens.

Location and the food

Would have been good to have two bedside lamps rather than one

Great location for the festival Allowed us to leave our car after we had checked out

Just a couple of points. Needs a bit of modernisation. There was no lift. And they had switched off the hot water for a couple of hours in the morning and did not tell us. So we had to shower with cold water which is not so good with the weather being quite cold.

Very nice hotel. Parking right outside, nice bar, very comfortable. Bus stop was 2 mins away. Great view of the castle from the bedroom window.

Too long waiting for the warm water to start in the bathroom.The housekeeper didn’t change our bath sheets. Also the mirror lights didn’t work.

The breakfast was wonderful

On entering the hotel to be not pleasantly greeted by a fake blond middle aged woman, I later found out her name was Leanne! She dismissively guided us from her knees to the first reception desk, which actually at that time was unmanned! Later on asking her is the had a map of Edinburgh city, her coworker was just pulling out a map, when Leanne curtly said and pointed to a magazine rack! The hotel was boiling, getting hotter as we got up the 3 floors! We entered our room, and was blown away by the heat and airlessness in our room 332! I managed to open fully the windows! On going out the next day left a note to leave the windows open as it was unbelievable to be in our room otherwise! Day 2 found the room towel dryer was boiling! Turned off, then to find it had been turned up again! The breakfast was OK, but sadly on our last breakfast at 8.30am lots of areas ran out of food! Bread for toasting, fruit salad, waited ages for that to be replaced! Surely could have been organised before! Patisseries ran out, plus fried eggs!

Original features, great views from one side of the hotel! Staff facing people were amazing! I cannot single out anyone, bedroom cleaners, receptionists, Restaurent staff etc! The bar was great, restaurant, boiling but finally we managed to get some windows open!

The Braid Hills Hotel used to be our family “local” when I lived in Edinburgh- it was very plush and a very popular location to eat and drink. Sadly, although they have refurbished some areas tastefully and to a high standard- much of the hotel is needing some TLC. Threadbare carpets and badly patched paint work is quite disappointing.

Location is great for transport and parking if own car. Superb views of Edinburgh. Comfortable.

The bar area is comfortable with seating outside but whilst the prices of beer are reasonable the prices for whisky are too high.

Great location, 20 minutes from the airport. Buses into town take 15-20 mins. Rooms are comfortable although there is no A/C which would be a bonus. Good choice at breakfast with great views across Edinburgh.

A charming old house on a Wonderful Place. We stayed 2-times here - and libed in one very small room and the next time in a large, nice room. The breakfast is very good.

Lovely big rooms and nice and clean. A bit tired in places but not far from centre of Edinburgh by bus which is right outside the hotel! Lovely staff and great sunset views . I’d definitely stay again . Doesn’t have a lift but it didnt matter to us
