Braid Hills Hotel, Edinburgh

Stayed 5th November 2017

Hotel was lovely, room very well fitted. Some confusion regarding dinner allowance as told on check-in we were on 2 course deal , then in the menu said 2 course allowance guests would get £18.50 p.p. and charged for anything over that amount. As average price for Mains was £14-£18 it didn’t cover two courses. On check-out we were told it covered any two courses, had we known this we would possibly have chosen differently. Overall we really enjoyed our break, if we return will confirm meal allowance on arrival.

arrived a wee bit early but our rooms were ready, so we were allowed in.Receptionist very welcoming and helpful, pointing us in the direction of the bus stop and telling us what number bus for the city.Room lovely and clean with a big comfortable bed and a huge bathroom.As we were on the top floor we had spectacular views across the hills to the city and across the Forth to Fife.We had asked for a late checkout on Sunday as we were running the Men's 10K, and the hotel accommodated us in this, allowing us to depart at 12:30.I also left my signet ring in the room and this has been forwarded on to me

Had a very enjoyable stay at the Braid Hills hotel recently. Staff were friendly, food was very good. Room was nice, nice decor. and had everything we needed. It is a very nice hotel in an ideal location. We had a lovely view from out bedroom looking over Edinburgh. It also has a nice comfortable lounge area for just unwinding

About fifth time at this hotel , of course with My hotel break; service always good , only niggle is with menus which should be altered more often and perhaps daily specials could be introduced,6 in our party agreed menu was only letdown in a three day stay , we actually ate out two of the nights.. In the hotels favour we were allocated deluxe rooms which were excellent .

Had a great stay at this hotel for our friend's surprise 60th birthday. The hotel staff were very professional, the food amazing and the front of house staff very good in decorating our table and bring out the birthday cake. we all had a lovely walk around the park after breakfast the next morning. Our friend loved every minute of it. I cannot thank the hotel staff enough for what was the most enjoyable overnight stay I have had in a long time. Cannot find fault with anything. Simply perfect.

Lovely hotel and very good value for money with the late deal Sunday night DBB

Stayed 3rd October 2017

Rroom allocated was.very spacious, well appointed with a delightful view over park area.. Staff in hotel very professional, friendly and helpful. Food in dining room was of a high standard and most enjoyable. Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 day stay here and will return in the future. A big bonus for me as an OAP was the bus stop next to hotel which made travelling into Edinburgh very relaxed - no driving in a strange town looking for parking. Also it is very easy to get to Ocean Terminal to see Royal Yacht Britannia.

Our stay was great from the start, we were given a room in the annexe, I was not so pleased to be told this, however the room was lovely, large, clean and comfortable. A huge clean bathroom. We had a 3 course dinner in our package, this actually meant we had 25 pounds each to spend in the restaurant, this was absolutely fine, I need not have worried. The food was nice, good service. The main thing both in the hotel and around Edinburgh was the lovely friendly people. I would reccommend this hotel it is only 15 minutes away from Edinburgh by taxi, also a good bus service outside the hotel.

This was our first stay at the Braid Hills Hotel and we will certainly be back. We had a wonderful room with a spectacular view and the food was fabulous.

Great break. Location of hotel was ideal. Access to public transport very good. Staff were polite and courteous. Will definitely stay again.

Stayed 6th May 2017

Staff were lovely and couldn't do enough to help. The location is great particularly the view from the terrace from which you get a great view across the city and great sunsets. Rooms were very clean and a great size. A really great and cost effective alternative to staying in the city centre.

Hotel is in a fabulous location with a great bus service outside hotel straight into Princes Street.The hotel room was lovely and immaculate,the only downside was that the ladies public toilet was at the bottom of a narrow staircase from our room and the noise was a bit of a pain with doors banging late at night.The staff are very professional,polite,and helpful .Will not hesitate in going back to this hotel

Fantastic stay at Braidhills Hotel. Spent a long weekend with or friends. Hotel accommodation, restaurant and all staff wonderful. Ideal location for bus service to Edinburgh town centre. Will definitely return

Stayed 7th January 2017

Fantastic service. Delighted to get an upgrade on arrival. The room was lovely and spotlessly clean as was the hotel. The only let down was the food. The fish was very dry and we don't like chips with black bits on them. The breakfast was nice but could have been hotter. We enjoyed our stay very much and would use this hotel again as it was in a great location and easy access (no 11 bus every 10 minutes) to the city centre. Next time would probably stay on a b & b basis.

We booked this hotel for a overnight stay while visiting our friends in Edinburgh. Reception staff were very helpful and offered to take our luggage up to our room, we have never been offered this service in other hotels we have stayed in so we were very impressed. Our room was on the first floor and again we were surprised as to how big the room was. We had a mini fridge, sink and tea and coffee making facil in a separate area which was really nice. There was a sofa for sitting as well as a huge bed with lots of pillows. Being at the front of the hotel we also had a great view of the park. We asked when we checked out if this was the normal style of room you get when booking through My Hotel Breaks.com. We were informed that the rooms were usually smaller with no sofas, we had been given a complimentary upgrade to a Delux room. We ate in the 1886 restaurant as part of our package and sadly the food was not very good. I had the Border beef which was described on the menu as (served pink). I asked the waiter about how rare the meat would be and he informed me that it had to be served fairly rare as to cook it longer it would be tough. When it came it was a definite red so I assumed it would be melt in the mouth. This was not the case, it was very chewy and had a gristle running through it. I even asked my husband to try it and he agreed it was not a nice piece of meat. I informed the waitress of this when she came for our plates and she apologised and asked if I would like a sweet instead. I declined and was told we would not be charged for the meal and we both got a complimentary drink. When given our bill there was no discount for the bad meal, we were charged full price for our stay. This has not put us off returning to the hotel as we had a fabulous stay but we will eat somewhere else.
