It was cute, quaint, picturesque, and smelled nice. The staff were wonderful, especially the guy at the front desk. He made me laugh a lot and he was fun to talk to. It was a super welcoming and safe feeling place. The view of Edinburgh was also very pretty. And they gave me shortbread cookies several times. And they had a hotel cat that I got to pet, it was adorable. Loved it ❤️

The hotel is currently being refurbished, this was not made to us at time of booking, which was disappointing. The room was large, with a modernish bathroom. While the room was clean, the carpet was in a very poor state and the curtains were ripped. The bed was uncomfortable as were the pillows! The price that we paid certainly did not reflect on the poor state of the furnishings.

The bedroom was noisy due to poor condition of the window. The shower was really small. The carpets are thread bare. Lack of amenities. Breakfast was good. Location is a short Uber ride or a 40 minute walk.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It was good, not far from the center and comfortable. They were so strict for checkin, happened 3 pm exactly although we arrived 1 pm. I feel they could be more helpful for those situations to look or prioritise the room to be ready, but they didn't. Also the room has no view at all, very bad view. The good thing was cleaness of the room and the bed was comfortable. The bus station is so close also.

Don't waste your money! ~£150/night for a dated, shabby (without the chic),small attic room. The 'shower' was more of a dribble! Poor food service, over-priced bad beer selection. Watch out for the automatic 10% service charge on the food bill too!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Braid Hills Hotel was listed as a family Friendly Hotel and so i booked it. I had other choices in the same price but i opted this one, which was a mistake that i did. 1.. The room that was given to me was on some kind of level which was dark. 2. The room had two floors, with two really small beds. How do you think i can leave my 6 year old in either ground floor or first floor by herself. The person who picked this room for my family had no idea about family perhaps. 3. There was a door that connected to a deck and that door was not closing, completely unsafe with a child. 4. We did not sleep all through the night. 5. There were bugs / insects on the carpet. 6. The carpet had stains. 7. One bulb in the bathroom is fused making it further dark. 8. Staff is not friendly and helpful at all. I believe i wasted my money.
