Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel, Edinburgh

Advantages: Great for golf, excellent facilities for a active or lazy weekend
Disadvantages: For visiting Edinburgh choose a central hotel

To use up Marriott points before they expired, we took the train north to Scotland to the hotel we had found on Marriott’s web site which seemed to have it all for a lazy couple of days, the Marriott Dalmahoy. We were not disappointed. The setting beneath the hills and tree lined skylines were picture post card. If you are a golfer then you are close to heaven with two 18 hole courses one, of which, is championship level. Other facilities included ...
...gym, a couple of bars and restaurants. To get the blood pumping there is a “joggers” circuit around the grounds. The reception/entrance area is part of the old country house and the rooms were in a more modern block and entirely four star quality. Service was excellent although I got the impression that the staff had all been on a “have a nice day” course. Having said that the staff were genuinely friendly and our problem with noisy neighbours was ...

Review of Marriott Hotel, Dalmahoy Edinburgh

Stay on the Royal Mile

Advantages: Luxurious
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...bed and breakfast at the Balmoral for our last night of the trip. We had heard that it was an amazing hotel and we were, overall not disappointed. RECEPTION AND CHECK IN: The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. They took a card for any extras and then checked us in very quickly and efficiently. We were shown to our room by a porter who was very sweet and insisted on asking us about our trip to Edinburgh and recommending places to eat. ...
...superking sized bed which was beautifully designed and so comfortable it is unbelievable. Of course there is sky TV (very large) and a desk and sofa too. BATHROOM: This is the best bathroom in the world - it is enormous - there is a sunken bath (perfect for sharing on the romantic weekend away from home) and lovely cosmetics. CLEALINESS: The hotel is spotless. STAFF: Are friendly and meet your every need. FOOD: Expect the best cooked breakfast ...

Review of Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh

relaxing style in good location

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

The Norton House Hotel is situated on the outskirts of Edinburgh about 2 miles away from the airport, and a 20 min (£8) cab ride into town. It has lovely grounds, which are great for walking or early morning jogs! The rooms in the main house are very spacious, with antique walnut furniture and subtly traditional furnishings. Bobbi Brown toiletries and fresh shortbread cookies and free sweeties, add to the charm. The restaurant serves excellent scottish ...

Review of Norton House Hotel, Edinburgh

It wasn't as good as I expected, am I aiming too high?

Advantages: Nice senery, nice swimming pool, not too far from Edinburgh, nice surroundings to walk around!
Disadvantages: old hotel-a bit 70s, old cutlery(not old style, but used - you can tell obviously!)

My husband & I stayed for 2 nights in Kalzie suite in late sept/oct 09- is claimed by the hotel official website as 1 of the luxury room of the whole hotel, no espcial offer+cannot book from internet.- it was to celebrate my 30th birthday and to have a relaxing days out of the city. The suite is located on ground floor, where near the swimming pool/ leisure club, dining room, which was handy for us. There's a private corridor to get into the 2 ...
...are closed loudly, could even hear from inside the room, although there are not many people passing the corridor at all, so it was fine. The living room in the suite....nice decor, big victorian window, nice view (no matter cloudy, misty/ sunny!), size isn't as big as I expected from the official website photos. There's a nice modern fire place- didn't use it, cos it smells, don't know when was the last time it was being used. Sofa and chairs are ...

Review of Peebles Hotel Hydro, Edinburgh

A lovely Scottish hotel

Advantages: Central location, attractive building, good customer service
Disadvantages: Shower had seen better days - otherwise none

...a single room at the Cairn Hotel through lastminute.com. I paid £44 for a single room for one night. I have to admit that I didn't check whether it would have been any cheaper to make the booking directly with the hotel, rather than through an intermediary website. Once I'd booked, I started to feel a little apprehensive about staying overnight on my own in a strange hotel. Lastminute told me that the Cairn Hotel was a 2 Star hotel and "a non smoking ...
...taxi pulled up outside the Cairn Hotel, I was pleasantly surprised. It had a very grand exterior. It was certainly a period property anyway and the photo accompanying this review doesn't really do the hotel enough justice. The facade looked well-maintained which helped to reassure me as I approached the entrance. The taxi from Waverley Train Station cost me around £4.50 (October 2008) and it is within reasonable walking district to get to the delights ...
