    Breakfast and restaurant could use a makeover. A bit more contemporary menu would be great. Was glad they had a few gluten-free options and the staff is very friendly.

    The lobby and the room were perfect. Location even better. This is a perfect venue to explore the city and visit a conference in the same week.

    - Staff was not very friendly - You cannot checkin before 3pm even if they have all the rooms vacant. If you have early flight consider different hotel.

    It was warm and nice in the room though it was cold outside. Clean room and bathroom.

    There was a limited evening menu which was somewhat overpriced, and had few if any small snacks. As it was in the bar I would have expected simple bar food to be available.

    The ability to refuse room servicing is an excellent idea. The room was spacious and warm and comfortable. The shower was easy to access - a big plus. The location is very convenient.

    I did not think that the dining room was up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. For example, diners should not have to ask for Parmesan to be served with their risotto - it should be a given.

    Very handy for me, well placed, friendly staff.

    Price during our weekend was a bit high, but reasonable compared to other properties. No slippers/robes.

    Nice neighbourhood, a bit of a walk away from the main attractions but close to some nice, less touristy restaurants and shop. Infinite supply of marshmallows. Rooms are nice and well appointed. Feels homey.

    Nothing particularly.

    Huge room which had a sofa, king size bed, en-suite with bath, hair dryer, coffee machine, TV etc. Clean and tidy. Staff were very friendly. Hotel was nice and quiet but we were there in late January. We didn't spend loads of time at the hotel but the bar/restaurant area looked nice. Good location but about a 20 minute walk from the centre. Fine if the weather is dry but we had really rainy weather most of the weekend so ended up getting taxis a lot.

    Stayed in the hotel twice in the space of 2 weeks, the staff that checked us in - think her name was Joanne the first time needs some lessons in customer service , she came off as being a bit rude.

    Location was great, beds were very comfortable and the rooms was very clean. There was always flavoured water in the reception to drink when coming in or going out.

    Parking was a bit pricey but plenty of parking spaces especially if you visit during the week when it is expected to be quiet.

    The room was lovely with a nice television and large, comfy bed. The range of breakfast available was great and really set you up for the day. The food in the restaurant is lovely and a good option if you dont want to eat out. The hotel is in a really nice location in walking distance of the centre (it is hilly!!)). There are some lovely independent restaurants within walking distance and options on all the food delivery platforms. Also, small supermarkets in walking distance to the hotel if you need snacks, drinks etc. Staff were lovely and accomadating across all areas, from the front desk, bar staff, cleaners and restauarant workers. Would definitely stay here again and highly reccomend to anyone staying in Edinburgh for a couple of days :).

    Water in the bathtub might have been hotter. Otherwise, everything was fine. There is really nothing to complain about.

    Room, view, breakfast, location, staff. The hotel was perfectly situated for us, and its location (next to the Meadows) was great. The price was reasonable, the room tall and comfortable. I'd certainly stay there again.

    The woman who checked us in on 10/04 around 6-ish was quite unfriendly and cold. Certainly not how I would expect a reception staff to treat clients. She did not smile at us when I told her I was checking in. It was like the ordeal was so bothersome for her and she just wanted us to leave her alone. Even the next afternoon, when I saw her on my way out of the hotel to eat and come back, she did not even acknowledge us at all. I noticed she was on her phone. Different receptionists in the morning greeted us when we got off the lifts, so it is just that single receptionist that I have an issue with. The gap between the room door and floor is wide enough for bright light from the hallway to get through to the room. I had to use a dressing hown to block the light out. (The black out blinds for the windows were terrific and worked wonderfully well)

    The location was very close to a lot of restaurants and tourist landmarks. Lovely facilities, room was nice and clean.

    Some guests banged room doors late at night. The easy chairs in our twin room were not very comfortable.

    The building and surrounding ones were impressive. We liked the style of the hotel. The area was good with plenty of facilities and transport links to the centre were good. The hotel lounge was both stylish and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. We liked the interior of our room especially the bathroom.

    It would be wonderful to have touches of history either about the hotel or Edinburgh. A timely store that sells conveniences would also be great. Most of all the hotel could reach another level of coziness and luxury if there were a library room with a fireplace where guests could spend time on rainy days! Also a restaurant that serves meals through the day including a Sunday roast, could be a huge plus.

    The Bruntsfield Hotel is a surprise - well located, well designed and bright, this is an unpretentious and comfortable place to stay. The breakfast is generous. The staff are helpful. It was perfect for us in a lovely part of town.
