Best Western Braid Hills Hotel - Edinburgh, United Kingdom 

Disappointing
Posted: Thu, Jun 26 2008
I found the hotel really shabby and run down. The reception area was dated, with faded carpet and fraying furniture. The room was even worse, there was an intercom phone in the bathroom which had fallen apart and was hanging off the wall. The bathroom was tiny and not particularly clean. It seems the cleaners only pay attention to the places they have to, such as the sink and toilet and had turned a blind eye to the skirting boards and bottom of sink which were filthy. The bedroom was far too over patterned for my taste (2 different wallpaper designs, a swirly bed cover with mismatched curtains). I was glad i was only staying here for one night.

Ok but nothing special

Stayed here as I was attending a dinner which was being held in the hotel. The room itself was clean, a bit small but big enough for what I needed. The bathroom on the other hand was tiny! The lavatory was a nightmare - stuck in a very narrow section of the bathroom which made it difficult to get to. Shower was ok - wasn't too bothered that there wasn't a bath. Breakfast was ok but a bit disorganised. I asked for a kipper and fried eggs and got a full breakfast - almost felt as if I was being accused of changing my order when I asked for it to be taken back and put right - although the waiter did apologise. Overall I would say it was average - the size of the bathroom pulled it down a peg.

really good

Excellent, I was in Edinburgh for the Scotland v England rugby so I didn't have time to really enjoy the hotel but the rooms were great, the staff friendly and helpful and the breakfast splendid!
