Staff are all excellent here . Unfortunately my room on this occasion was not so good . I’ve stayed here before many times & it’s usually very good but I was disappointed this time

Lee- Anne, Anjuli and Nisha made the entire four day stay truly memorable. They offered incredible service and were extremely kind and helpful. We loved the location, just out of the way of Old Town but close enough to all the sights by bus (right outside the hotel). We especially enjoyed the dinner menu as it catered perfectly to vegetarians with a great selection of vegan meals as well. Our room had a lovely view and we had a wonderful experience.

Perched on a hillside with striking, castle-like Victorian red sandstone architecture, the Braid Hills Hotel offers a historic stay with the massive perk of free onsite parking and incredibly convenient city access via a bus stop directly outside. While the clean sleeping area feels dated and lacked air conditioning (we stayed during an unexpected hot spell), the room was kept tolerable thanks to an open window and a provided desk fan, and it was balanced by a beautifully renovated, modern bathroom. The friendly staff and a great dinner experience at the 1886 Restaurant especially the dessert. Just keep in mind that there are no lifts, so navigating the stairs with heavy luggage requires some effort, making for a solid and characterful overall experience.

I liked the restaurant/bar area with lovely views over Edinburgh. Free parking is great and a great bust service to most places. A nice walk into the centre and The Castle. 20 mins walk to Morningside/Bruntsfield where there are lovely places to eat, have coffee/cocktails. Downside are the rooms, which are very tired and in need of renovation. I believe this is going to happen. Grand old building

Great stay, very helpful staff, fantastic food in the hotel restaurant

The staff was professional, helpful and pleasant. The room was clean and comfortable and meals were good.

Great location and food

Fantastic location for exploring Edinburgh. Staff were exceptional. We will definitely be back

Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive, lovely breakfast with lots of choice. Comfortable bed with lovely views. Perfectly located for buses into the city (about 20 mins away). Local independent shops worth a visit too. The room was spotless but badly in need of the refurbishment the hotel is currently undergoing. Accessible rooms are available, but no lift. Look forward to returning..

The welcome at reception was lukewarm. No lift and up 3 flights of stairs is not good with luggage at 68 years old. The water pressure which was reported was insufficient to fill a sink. Restaurant was over priced. The one plus was the young tall Barman with dark hair couldn’t have been more helpful.
