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

A brilliant aparthotel in Edinburgh

Advantages: Lovely well furbished apartments in a great location.
Disadvantages: 5 star means expensive... but you do get what you paid for!

What is the Knight Residence? The Knight Residence is a luxury aparthotel in Edinburgh. This means you have your own serviced apartments instead of your average hotel, making you feel right at home and having your own private space. The Knight Residence has a 5 star rating and in 2008 they were the top hotel for customer service according to Expedia... not just in the UK, but in the whole of Europe! The apartments are designed to suit every ...
...you will be looking for the 3 bedroom apartment or, there are also one bedroom apartments and two bedroom apartments. What's in these apartments? The Knight Residence offers 2 different types of apartments (and 2 different prices!), Superior and Comfort. In Comfort expect to find a HD LCD TV with Virgin Medfia including Sky Sports, a DVD recorder, Hi-Fi and free broadband access. There is of course the fully fitted kitchen which includes ...

Review of The Knight Residence, Edinburgh

Howard's End...

Advantages: pure luxury, personal butler
Disadvantages: are there any?

This Boutique hotel is located in the heart of Edinburgh's NewTown, only minutes from Princes Street. Originally individual townhouses, the Howard is housed in a beautiful Georgian building. A stay in one of the junior suites began with the personal butler taking luggage upstairs and introducing us to the suite. The suite itself was made up of a slightly raised bedroom area, a sitting room area and one of the biggest bathrooms i have ever seen. ...
...had a deep bathtub, double vanity, bidet and toilet, and a walk in shower big enough for two that not only sprayed from above, but also had high power "sidestream" jets of water. One of the huge advantages that the Howard has over other city centre hotels is the fact that it provides private parking at no extra cost - not that a car is necessary (with princes street just a five minute walk away). While it isn't cheap, the Howard is worth it - the ...

Review of Howard, 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 ...
