Royal Ettrick Hotel  

The check-in procedure was uncomplicated. The room was clean

Bar - poor service. Poor selection. Very dark. The first night was ruined by a bunch of drunk and obnoxious loudmouths who seemed intent on using as much profanity as possible. Room - clean but not particularly comfortable. The wardrobe seemed as if it would collapse every time the door was opened or shut. Restaurant - food varied between just about acceptable to downright bland. Sent the main course back at one point due to it's poor quality and lack of taste. Don't sit on the padded sofas around the walls - unless you are over 7ft tall. Your chin will be practically resting on the table.

Very friendly atmosphere with nice menu. Beautiful room with helpful staff.

Same menu for for the whole day would have been nice to have a separate dinner menu.

The location was good, with lots of bars and restaurants within 5 minutes walk away. Edinburgh city centre is also quite close on foot. The room was furnished beautifully, with a boutique hotel feel. Lovely bar and restaurant with a good menu.

We were in a disabled room on the first floor. Although this meant we had a larger room than usual, this meant that the sink in the bathroom was too low and too small and the mirror in the bathroom was also too low. This is only a small thing though, as it was after all a room for customers with a disability. The plug was also missing in the sink. Although the full scottish breakfast was nice, it was lacking beans, tomatoes and /or mushrooms and tattle cakes, so was very dry and didn't seem to be a "full" Scottish breakfast.

Friendly and efficient staff, single bedroom was rather small but still very comfortable. Food very good and and the service excellent.My friend had a problem with her room and the manager was really helpful and she was moved to a more comfortable room. Would certainly stay here again and recommend this hotel to to friends and family.

Location and quiet area with regular bus service allowing you to visit town centre avoiding having to worry about city parking.

Good location, friendly staff.

The scottish breakfast needed some beans it was too dry.

The room had been recently refurbished and all the essentials were in place. A very large and spacious bedroom.

Situated in a very smart residential area of Edinburgh, the city center is a 20 minute walk or you can hop on a bus 2 minutes from the hotel. There was ample parking & our room was huge with a big comfy bed, sofas, big tv and our own private garden through the patio doors that ran the length of the room. There's a good size bathroom with nice toiletries in dispensers on the wall rather than fiddly sachets & plenty of wardrobe/cupboard space. Breakfast was good and was served in the conservatory looking onto the garden which was lovely. What we really liked was the hotel bar which seems popular with locals and has more of a pub feel. They also served food which all looked really good. Staff were friendly & helpful & we would not hesitate in recommending this hotel.

A couple of really minor things. Our room was kitted out for wheelchair users so the bathroom mirror was really low & unless we bent down we couldn't see to clean teeth, shave or make up. There was a notice to leave keys when you left the hotel but reception was not staffed alot of the time (you rang & a staff member would come along) so a box to drop keys off would be good. I must stress these are really small points & in no way did they detract from our enjoyment.

This is a fantastic hotel that offers value for money with all the trimmings. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. We will return and would highly recommend.

The only down side was the shower, it wasn't very powerful.

Really good food!

I enjoyed the spaciousness of our suite, the pleasant staff, the good breakfast and that the hotel had its own car park.

we turned up early and they let us book in 4 hrs before checkin this helped us extend our visit into the city

breakfasts were poor

Small, home-comfort, good restaurant, friendly and helpful staff
