Hotel would have been amazing if it was not for the broken hot water for 2 days and the low water pressure.. And no other availability as we were told it was full.. And no compensation...

Nestled atop a hill overlooking the historic city of Edinburgh and its iconic castle, the Braid Hills Hotel offers a truly delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were met with a friendly welcome, setting the tone for our two-night stay at this beautiful establishment with its charming, old-world feel.
Our room was impressively spacious, comfortably furnished with a sofa, chair and a well-maintained en-suite bathroom. It was spotlessly clean and tidy, providing a lovely base for our Edinburgh exploration.
We chose to dine at the hotel on our first evening and were not disappointed. The food was nicely cooked and served with excellent service, making for a very enjoyable meal. The bar was also a pleasant surprise, being nicely stocked with a good selection of drinks.
Breakfast each morning was nice, with a good buffet spread. Any items that ran low were quickly replenished, ensuring a continuous and satisfying start to our day.
The hotel's location is also incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Situated on a bus route, we found the journey into the city center to be an easy and pleasant 30-minute ride.
Overall, we would highly recommend the Braid Hills Hotel. Its stunning views, friendly atmosphere, comfortable accommodations, and excellent service make it a perfect choice for a visit to Edinburgh. We would most definitely choose to stay here again on our return to the city.

It's a nice hotel, a little shabby and down-at-heel in places (carpets with black tape over the worn areas). The member of staff who greeted us on arrival was not very friendly or welcoming and gave us a room key that wasn't activated. The worst thing was how hot the room was. There is no aircon and it was hard to sleep, you start sweating as soon as you get out of the shower, etc. It's not cheap so I'd expect aircon in a place like this. The window only opened a crack and didn't help much. Well served by buses around the city. Didn't have breakfast there so can't comment. Cleaner knocked at 8.20am when we were still in bed! Overall somewhat disappointing for the money.
