Hotel was great - a little further than I thought but 15 min in taxi to Princes St. Food in hotel was really great - our party of 11 all had great rooms, really spacious. One on small size but I was in room on own so it was fine. Cleanliness could be a little better in room. Glass on wardrobe still had finger prints all over from a previous guest and mirrors very dusty and quite chilly in bathroom and the floor was stone but overall a great hotel. Collapse

An enjoyable long weekend for the whole family at the Best Western Braid Hills Hotel (2 Night Offer & 1st Night Dinner) , the decor in our rooms was a little dated but clean, staff were brilliant, lots to eat on Friday night, not the most exciting menu but good food and wine. Our wardrobe door was off its track and wouldn't open, the pillows were a bit hard, the radiator in the bathroom was leaking and the toilet flush needed attention but overall good value for money and adequate for our needs. Really loved the Lion King performance at the playhouse and managed to get a bus from outside the hotel straight to the playhouse and back again, £3.50 for an adult all day ticket was great value and buses very regular and easy to use.

A lovely welcome from Kelly at reception and a charming gentleman, one of the staff from Spain - Desi(apologies I could not remember how to spell his whole name)took all my luggage up to my first floor room. The room was lovely and overlooked the Braidburn Valley which is a green parkland area. Great little sink/kitchen area to make tea/coffe and a very comfy bed. I have stayed at this hotel quite a few times and it is always quite a pleasant stay but on this occasion there was a wedding reception taking place in the area below my room and I could hear the DJ quite clearly and all the disco music and words clearly up until it finished at midnight. I think the hotel should reserve rooms above the function suite for guests attending the function. As I was not on holiday but working and on business, I needed my sleep. Breakfast was lovely and I was served by a charming lady from Portugal, Megan (again apologies if I have the wrong name, but it did start with 'm' and she wore glasses). A good selection on the buffet and complimentary morning newspaper - a great start to the day. Check out was easy with Kelly and Finley helped carry all my luggage out to my vehicle. Once again a pleasant stay, lovely staff and good food. The Braid Hills is ideal for a city break or a great base for exploring Edinburgh and it's surrounding countryside. Enjoy! Collapse

We were very pleased with our stay at the Braid Hills Hotel. We arrived much earlier than expected and the helpful woman on reception was able to find us a room and offer early check in. Very appreciated and not expected. There is no lift and we were on the third floor at the very back of the hotel. Be aware if this if you have mobility issues. Loved the bar and the bar menu. Such a comfortable place for a light meal after a long day in Edinburgh city center. Don't be tempted to drive into the city center. The #11 bus stops right across the road from the hotel and takes you right to a centrally located bus stop where you can then catch any of the "hop on, hop off" tour busses and continue your trip to the Castle or other places in the old city. Check online comparing the routes of the #11 Lothian City Bus with the Edinburgh Hop On, Hop Off. Loved everything about the Braid Hills. Quiet location and once we learned the routine with the city busses I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Collapse

Reception staff very welcoming and polite. As there is no lift I asked for my luggage to be taken to my room which was promptly and politely dealt with. The food at breakfast and dinner was of a high standard and I enjoyed both meals very much. The service of waiters and waitresses was exceptional. We were in room 204 which was quite large and suitable for 3 nights. We had a problem on the third night with the shower water being cold this and caused a bit of inconvenience but were well compensated for this. As I have seen negative comments in the past I would recommend you should always contact reception of any problems and these will be dealt with professionally and promptly as mine was. I look forward to staying here again in the near future. Collapse
