Macdonald Marine Hotel & Spa  

The bedroom was comfortable and clean and well appointed. The lounge area with views overlooking the sea was very comfortable and relaxing. The staff in this area were very attentive ( think the name of bar man was Adi ...very polite) I felt the staff on reception were rather diffident and not over helpful.

The price of breakfast was ridiculous at £19.50p per person. The menu for dinner was limited and very expensive. We felt the hotel was catering for rich American golfers and not your average Mr and Mrs U.K.

Stayed for a wedding and was impressed with the comfort of the beds and the excellent staff. Comfy sofas to lounge in and the food was great. You can also use the spa facilities after you have checked out!

Its great location for pleasant walks and train trip to Edinburgh for shopping and site seeing.Spa and pool complex was great and hotel nice and quite.

This was our third visit to the marine, the room this time was too small considering the price, we were dissappointed with our room !

Great location; excellent service.

Love the atmosphere and location really relaxing but close enough to Edinburgh too.

The spacious ground floor lounge area sets out what should be a good hotel with wonderful views of the Firth of Forth and the Fife coast. Unfortuneately that is the only good part of our visit to this Hotel.

The standard of the room allocated to my wife and I is well below the standard this Hotel should be offering. Poor storage for clothes, tea and coffee making had to be placed on the floor, TV at 90 degree wiewing from the bed position. The room was one of the lowest standards we have experienced in years. The shower my wife described accurately as a poor leak of water. McDonald hotel you represent very poor value for money, you have much competition if you don't improve you will not survive. I would love to speak with the Hotel Manager our details are known to him.

The dining rom experience

The bedrooms were old and furnishings tired.

superb room with great view of golf course

Excellent restaurant, leisure spa and swimming pool. Excellent position.

Beautiful location

Too expensive

The breakfast was excellent with a wide range to select from, polite staff and good service.

Very disappointed with the thermal suite which was one of the primary reasons for selecting this hotel. Out of the four promised spa treatments we were only able to use all four on the first night, first the steam spa broke down, then the aromatherapy spa the next night, the next night neither of those had been mended and one of the saunas wasn`t working correctly. For the rest of our holiday we had only one of the promised saunas which tended to get a little crowded. Also, the lift was out of commission a couple of times.

very comfortable room,clean and well maintained.Sea view rooms provide picture card seascapes.Staff in bar and dining room very attentive.

Lift was not functioning for 5 of our 6 days visit.Quality of breakfast started well and went progressively downhill to finally become mediocre.We stayed until Saturday and noticed that the emphasis on service we received fell away Friday due to wedding on friday afternoon.for example our room had not been serviced by 5pm that day.I assume that due to the influx of guests for the wedding that breakfast on Saturday morning was served as buffet style not immediately available and lukewarm.I would only recommend hotel up to Thursday if weddings was imminent on Friday or Saturday

Rooms are very poorly decorated; business hptels are even better.Payment procedures with business cards are very long and complicated, I was asked my card three times!
