BEST WESTERN Braid Hills Hotel  

Easy parking, helpful staff, fuss - free check in and out, distinctive food and building, elegant dining room, individual nature of the room and the conservation of a nice old building with attractive stained glass and paneling and all in an attractive residential area. Much nicer than the purpose built hotels other companies seem to favour. I noticed the other bw hotels in Edinburgh were all nice old buildings, making them much more integrated with the community. The bar and restaurant also seemed to be popular with locals. Good location on a useful bus route for sightseeing.

The service was excellent We liked everythingnt, and the staff were lovely

Friendly, efficient staff.

Really helpful / lovely staff. Cosy room.

The location is 20 minutes out of central Edinburgh by bus. The shower pressure was rather lacking.

I loved that the wi-fi was free. It had a good breakfast buffet and the bistro restaurant on the property was good and reasonably priced. The rooms were very comfortable and the staff was wonderful and helpful. It was also very easy to get to Edinburgh as the bus stop was right at the foot of the hotel. If you rent a car it had easy access to the roads and airport. If you're not renting a car the cab drive was about 25 euros or you can take the cheaper airport bus to Edinburgh city centre and then hop on the 11 or 15 bus to the hotel.

No elevators, too many stairs to climb if at the back of the hotel on the third floor.

-Close proximity to Edinburgh with bus stop outside hotel. -Gluten free menu in restaurant and really good food and service- special commendation to our waiter Rocky and the chef-outstanding effort all round!! (We had three meals there in addition to Breakfast) -Huge room with great outlook and comfortable bed -Great room service, room well maintained -Free internet worked well!! -Friendly polite staff -The breakfast every morning was top notch -Free parking outside the door

-No fridge in the room which is a problem when storing medication or wanting fresh milk with tea and coffee -Shower over bath with a curtain that sticks to you, probably not a problem for small people but definitely a bit cramped for big guys, only a small issue!

Friendly, efficient staff. Quiet, comfortable room with pleasant view over park. Free parking.

No lift makes it a bit of a trek to the top floor. Having stayed here on a couple of occasions recently, I was looking forward to breakfast but it was a real disappointment this time - black pudding and haggis dried out under the heat lamps, half-cooked sausages, cold fried eggs. Bring back the other chef!

Comfortable romm and spectacular View over Edinburgh

Room only breakfast not included in price.

The room was larger than expected with a view over the park. It was clean and warm. Of the meals taken in the evening one in the dining room was excellent, one in the bistro was very good but one, Chicken Maryland was over-cooked and tasteless. We did mention this to a member of staff. It will not discourage me from staying again .

It was located where I needed to be for the following day.

I was in room 302 - great view!! I have stayed in this room before (about 6 months ago) and had to be moved as the room smelled of vomit. Unfortuntately, the room still smelt faintly of vomit. Had to keep the window open slightly to keep the air fresh in the room. The menu selection for room service is limited and does not change.

Reception staff were friendly and efficient. My room had a corner location with great views over the city, and was very spacious and comfortable, temperature was ideal for me, and it was very quiet. Breakfast was one of the best, cooked to order and well presented. I will definitely be back!

The welcome at reception was a positive start to our stay. The rooms facing the Braid Hills are large and vey well appointed and comfortable. There are not lots of luxurious frills but there is complimentary tea, coffee, shortbread and water.

For my personal taste, the hotel decor is a little dull and dated but not at all shabby.
