Brooks Hotel Edinburgh

“Old , quaint, clean.”

We really enjoyed our stay here. The bed was very soft though! It is a very old building, the hall floors creak, which adds to the quaint charm. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The bed was very soft though! It is a very old building, the hall floors creak, which adds to the quaint charm. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was simple, but very good. We had never seen a self-serve bar before. It was in a charming room that made you feel like you were in an old hunting lodge.

“Mixed feelings”

Our room was well decorated and the bed was comfortable. The strange thing was that it was a queen bed on a king base! Other than that it was silly niggly things like no bathmat, no hooks in the bathroom, battered bin, limited TV channels. So far as the door is concerned, there was no door handle … more

Our room was well decorated and the bed was comfortable. The strange thing was that it was a queen bed on a king base! Other than that it was silly niggly things like no bathmat, no hooks in the bathroom, battered bin, limited TV channels. So far as the door is concerned, there was no door handle on the outside of the door, you gained entry by unlocking the door and pushing. The cooked breakfast was good but the continental food available did not reflect what was stated on their menu! We felt that there was a general lack of care. This could be easily rectified.

Hotel is close to Haymarket tram stop one of its few good points . I paid £312 for two night here with breakfast, I wish I spent a bit more and got a room on Princes street . The hotel has a hostel vibe , our room 201 had the smallest bathroom I’ve ever seen and a loo that kept filling up. We also was treated to I assumed boiler noises all night! Even though we paid for breakfast both days we decided after our first encounter not to go again ! The service is both slow and confusing , I ordered two bacon sandwiches for my son and I but only one turned up . The coffee if you can call it coffee was weak as… The amount they are charging they need to up their game. it's shockingly bad! The second morning we was informed there was a wait and they couldn't seat us we had things planed so we skipped breakfast and got a coffee at the Haymarket Starbucks instead. next time l will spend a bit more and try something closer to the castle.
