We had a really lovely room and overall a pleasant stay. Housekeeping never came to our room despite leaving the sign on the door that we would like our room cleaned and we were out most of the day. Service in the bar was pretty terrible to be honest, I was the only person waiting and the bartender never acknowledged me for about 20 minutes so I gave up. Breakfast is nice. Location was great. Would probably stay again but the price was very high for what is offered.

Lovely clean room, comfortable bed. Room quite spacious really in comparison to some other hotels. Lovely location. On site parking a real convenient bonus although also plenty on street parking.

Lovely hotel, the decor was really nice! We ended up being upgraded when we arrived so had an extra large room which was a nice surprise, location was okay, a little bit out of the centre but we didn't mind the walk.

Hotel was lovely, rooms are currently undergoing renovations. Stay in a renovated room - they are beautiful. Rooms to be renovated are old and show their age.
Our bathroom floor was dirty upon arrival. Housekeeping staff had already left for the day, so the manager cleaned the bath for us. We joked that we had the best dressed housekeeper of all time.

I thoroughly enjoyed the green area for walking around and the restaurants. Had to eat out on the Two nights I stayed as there was no dining service on a Monday and Tuesday, was recommended the Montpelier - food superb, lovely friendly service.
Check in staff very friendly and helpful.
When I returned to my room at 4pm, the noise from the workmen outside with an angle grinder for a good hour was grating as the room has no secondary glazing. But once they had gone, it was very quiet.

Great spot. Close to many restaurants. Hotel one was cloaed for the 2 nites we were there. Would have liked to know that ahead of time.

Staff was really helpful but the hotel is more like a 2.5 star hotel than 4 also the room advertised in the picture was quite photo touched and quite not the same.
2.0
A good hotel but needs to sort out leaky shower difficult to use toilet flush buttons. Not air conditioned, provided a noisy fan without a control knob.
If your room is not near the lift then navigating steps with luggage is cumbersome.

The hotel was vintage appearance, with modern updates. The room was clean, but unfortunately, not air conditioned.

Perfect location right beside the meadows. Tons of great restaurants and cafes about 2 minutes walk. Also right on the bus lines to go downtown. Staff was extremely welcoming and kind for the entire stay. Very very highly recommend staying here.

Spot on just enough improvement s
4.0
Positives: Room was clean and spacious. Plenty of parking available and conveniently located for the city.
Negatives: Water pressure in our bathroom was very poor and on two occasions the toilet flush did not work, presumably as a result of this. Hotel will not accept cash, and as such we found it more difficult than we should have at the bar and to settle for our room bill. It should be made more clear on booking that they are a cashless hotel.
2.0
Despite a good breakfast and friendly staff, the hotel was a severe disappointment.
Some issues during my six day stay:
- my room was not fully cleaned one day (unwashed cups and glasses, dirty towels in the bathroom), on another day my room door was left wide open when I returned in the evening.
- exorbitant charges for laundry - two shirts for which I paid seven pounds each were not ironed.
- excessive parking charges - 12 pounds per day.
- WiFi that was intermittent and had to be logged into repeatedly during the day - hard to make phone calls from within the hotel.
- Bottles of water charged for the room after a “complimentary” first day - this on top of exceptionally high room rate of close to 400 pounds per night.
Overall, not a good experience, despite the hotel’s good location in relation to Edinburgh sights, theatres, etc. Management should work to resolve the issues noted above.

Bed is too soft. No phone in room. Intermittent WiFi.
Poor ergonomics: no luggage rack, toilet paper behind the toilet- should be in front of toilet. Toilet paper falls on the floor. Shower soap bottles fall out of soap holder continuously.
Eco friendly is good. Staff is nice.
WiFi program has white type on light grey background so impossible to read terms of agreement and very difficult to find the ‘I agree’ button. Should have black type to be able to read.
Good location, fan available.
Thank you.

Had a nice stay at Bruntsfield. Central location. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again. The breakfast option was great with a la carte options.

The Bruntsfield Hotel was a pleasant suprise to say the least. The room we had was more spacious than any room I've stayed in in europe and for a very reasonable value. All amenities and shared spaces around the hotel were clean and organized. Washrrom and accomodations were also very clean and well maintained. The hotel is also a very accessbile to the main city center and the royal mile - maybe a 20-25 minute walk. It is also nearby the city siteseeing bus stops as well as Edinburgh's public transportation stops. I woul;d say this hotel is certainly a great accomodation for the cost and worth the extra steps from the city for a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Boiling hot room and only just over 20 degrees outside. No ventilation. Not nice to be in. Obviously housekeeping felt the same as they hadn't bothered to vacuum and generally surfaces were dusty or grubby. Room design leaves a lot to be desired too. Massive room but you can't see the TV from the bed and have to close the door to the tiny bathroom before you can stand at the sink. Only a queen-size bed too - plenty of room for a king.
Last time I stayed, their excuse for lack of housekeeping was Covid. Now there is no excuse for charging £500 for two nights without breakfast or parking and offering a hot, less then clean room.
F&B: We ate in the hotel one night. Less then two years ago this was a buzzy, pleasant place. Now, lacking in customers and atmosphere. Reason: Very average food - a lot less appealing then on my last visit. Service also haphazard. For breakfast: probably the worst 'Scottish' cooked breakfast I have ever had! Swimming in grease and most items deep-fried, tasteless and inedible. Grubby plates and silverware. Disorganised wait staff who didn't even ask if everything was OK when they took away what was essentially an untouched meal. (They must see it all the time ...)
The only reason this hotel can get away with charging such a ridiculous room rate is because of the scarcity of hotel rooms in Edinburgh city centre in the summer.
Very sad to see a place like this degenerate in such a short period of time.
Never again!

The staff was particularly friendly and helpful. The superior room was lovely with a view of the park as I requested. The breakfast included with the stay was excellent. So happy we stayed on the park versus staying where it was so crowded on the Royal Mile. I recommend this hotel.

We don't live too far from the hotel - but decided we would have a 'local night in' and see what it was like for ourselves.
We had a lovely spacious and comfortable room on the 2nd floor. The service was good - and friendly - breakfast was lovely!
Would definitely recommend staying if you're thinking about it.
