Edinburgh Majatalot

Plussat: The staff were completely amazing!! Could not have been more accommodating and their manner was amazing! Mark helped my mum into the hotel and offered her an umbrella in the pouring rain. We were offered a complimentary drink within the Canny Man which was just the icing in the cake!! Loved it!! Will definitely be back! Thank you!!

Plussat: Loved the overall smell of the hotel and how each room had its own unique theme. We were in the Marble Room and absolutely loved the design! Extremely comfy bed and fantastic shower. Would definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn’t like!

Plussat: Renovated Friendly staff

Plussat: We stayed at the Lane for our last night in Scotland. Mark was in the bar downstairs to meet us and help us to our room (and give us helpful parking advice ;). Unfortunately, we had to check out early in the morning to catch our flight, so we didn't have enough time to enjoy the amazing Blue Room. With the highest of high ceilings, enormous windows, a super spacious and tastefully decorated room and bathroom (with a gorgeous bathtub *and* walk-in shower!), and very comfortable bed, this was a luxurious accommodation. And beyond the room, the hotel is in a wonderful neighborhood just beyond the tourist center in Old Town and New Town. The main road is lined with unique shops and eateries that we were sad not to have had more time to explore.

Miinukset: I have just one small suggestion that could improve the space: it would be great to have some shelving near the sinks in the bathroom order to place toiletries. Other than that, we loved the Land Hotel and very much recommend it to those looking to broaden their experience of Edinburgh while in the lap of luxury!

Plussat: The room we booked was huge, plenty of space with a fantastic bathroom. Huge shower and massive bath, spotlessly clean. Mark was great, he couldn't have done more for us.

Miinukset: The only thing missing was a bluetooth speaker - not a dealbreaker but something I'd expect at this price point.

Plussat: The bathroom was lovely, can’t fault it! The man was helpful on the phone and heard him with others and he was nice, shame the lady we got was the complete opposite. And the snack room is a nice touch.

Miinukset: Firstly the whole place needs sound proofing, we unfortunately were on the ground floor and the windows were single glazing so we heard every single tiny noise. And being by the front door we were constantly disturbed by everyone’s in and out and the most annoying beeping from the door. We were woken at 6.20am by a rude selfish couple checking out and left their cases inside, so they decided to bang on the front door moving quickly to our actual bedroom window and banged so hard and shouted at us to wake us up, so we could give them their cases back, this was not our responsibility and was really inconsiderate. Also the converted house did not feel secure, especially after this, anyone could easily break the single pane of glass. The man on the phone was helpful and kind sounding and he was to other guests we heard him with. The blonde lady who checked us in appeared very judgemental and was staring us up and down while almost talking down to us like we were worthless, she made us feel very uncomfortable and she needs to learn from the man or be taken off front of house duties. Room was decorated alright but clearly done cheaply. We stayed 3 nights which was too long, at no point were we asked if everything was alright and the room was either freezing or way too hot. Good price, but I’d rather pay more in future and will not be recommending.

Plussat: Comfortable bed Staff were very helpful

Miinukset: Snack room was in need of attention. Private patio flowers could use some TLC.

Plussat: Everything was fab - beautifully opulent room (Watson Suite), unbelievable value for money, complimentary drink included in The Canny Man downstairs and sweetie jar in the room (perfect for those post booze munchies!). Relaxed and welcoming.

Miinukset: On a busy, noisy street - didn’t affect our stay but the windows don’t really block the noise out much.

Plussat: This hotel is beautiful, the decor is modern and colourful. The bathroom had a large shower and bath as well as double sinks. The room was a very good size and was well situated in Morningside which is surrounded by lovely restaurants and shops. The hotel is owned by a couple who also own the local pub, the Canny Mans which had a good menu (although we didn’t eat there). Ben showed us to our room and was incredibly helpful with suggestions of restaurants which would be open on a Sunday evening. Ben also informed us of the history of the building, business and other information about the owners of the hotel.

Miinukset: The only slight downside was the bed, it was slightly firm for our liking but still comfortable.

Plussat: Everything. Was beautiful. The snack room was a great touch.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Helpful staff, location, cleanliness

Miinukset: No power points in the bathroom and no toilet roll holder

Plussat: Spacious room, beautifully decorated and appointed.

Miinukset: The snacks were complimentary, which was great. Some simple chocolate would have been a great addition.

Plussat: Great location! Everything on doorstep

Miinukset: Clean but needed a bit of tlc

Plussat: Sijainti oli loistava, kävellen pääsi helposti niin kaupungille kuin mahtaviin kahviloihinkin.

Miinukset: Polvivamman takia olisi ollut hyvä tietää ennen varaamista, että huoneeseen pääsy vaatii yli 80 portaan kapuamisen haasteellisissa kiviportaissa.

Plussat: Excellent location Bathroom was nice and clean

Miinukset: Duvet cover too small for bed size Decor looked tired and a bit grubby in areas Pillows of poor quality

Plussat: Unfortunatealy the facilities could not offer breakfast. There was a kettle in the room and some Nescafé but it would have been good if you could have offered some more dry breakfast food in the room.

Miinukset: I think it would have been a nice gesture if the staff that runs the place showed up upon arrival. All communication was made by e-mail and SMS, thus it did not feel very personal although the e-mail and SMS was very friendly!

Plussat: Amazing location, very helpful staff. Beautiful room, straight out of a dream. If I return will only book this place again

Plussat: Great location, directions & instructions were very clear & straight forward. Property management keep in touch via sms so you knew who to contact if you had any issues. I liked the tiny stone stair case & rope for a bannister but I only had small luggage & was in the first floor. The bed was huge & comfortable as was the sofa.

Miinukset: The internet & 4g connectivity in the room was none existent. I tried all 3 WiFi codes in the room repeatedly & my own network & still had to go outside to get a decent connection. The shower head was broken & had been taped back into place meaning it didn’t really work anymore. New shower heads are very cheap to buy! The water pressure was also very weak meaning pretty unsatisfying showers throughout. The lighting in the bathroom was also really weak which made it dark in the early mornings & at night. Given the price I’d expect a little more attention to detail over things like lighting & the bathroom facilities.

Plussat: Love it!

Plussat: Excellent location

Miinukset: Might b a bit of a squeeze for 4. Fold down fouton style bed in living room

Plussat: We loved the area and the closeness to everything. The room was lovely and very clean. We absolutely loved the building we were right on the Royal Mile and could see everything.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Super location Usually stay in a hotel apartment more suited to adults and 17 year old. Very spacious and quirky Tea and coffee supplied We were facilitated with early check in as we had a really early flight We were also facilitated with luggage storage on arrival and departure

Miinukset: Softer pillows would be great and I know that’s down to preference Other than that everything was wonderful NB Avoid the Thistle Stop Cafe downstairs service and rudeness of one staff member unacceptable

Plussat: Starting from the stairs that look like you're climbing a castle, we had fun even with no lift. The room was nice, clean and with an amazing view. It looked exactly like in the pictures and it was extremely comfortable. The owner was making sure that everything was meeting our expectations and welcomed us with a small sweet present. We enjoyed it a lot!

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti.

Plussat: Quite a dated hotel but with lots of character and very comfortable. Large, comfortable bed and lovely fluffy bath sheets! The staff are very friendly and accommodating of every need. The food was very good. Great location on the bus routes and next to Murrayfield stadium.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: great location for the rugby, good breakfast, price was alright considering there was a Scottish rugby match on.

Miinukset: the lack of parking, even though there were spaces, (PLEASE NOTE the fact that we booked the accommodation and the money was taken straight out of the my account even thought it was free cancellation up until 4th September I know this WAS NOT the hotels fault but the booking company this seems to be another aspect that needs looking into.}

Plussat: Comfortable and serviceable hotel. Ideal for accessing Haymarket Station and Edinburgh Centre. Staff helpful. Good breakfast

Miinukset: The price was 30% higher because the Fringe was on and the Tattoo. The room was OK but the stair carpet was very worn so you felt almost as though you were “back stairs”. There was no obvious reception although the staff were helpful once approached.

Miinukset: I have bad legs and so the long staircase was a bit of challenge.

Plussat: It has charater. They did put cereal and juice out when we had to checkout at 6a.m.

Miinukset: This hotel is really old and in need of renovation. Carpets are worn, sheets don't fit beds, beds not great. Bathrooms are old. Very, very noisy road. Did not sleep much.

Plussat: The comfortable room and the friendly service.

Miinukset: We had a lovely en suite spacious room. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Bed was great and Caroline was absolutely great on helping solve our problems. The fish and chips were out of this world. Breakfast was great also. You also got more than enough food. This is a great place to stay.

Plussat: The location was excellent to many attractions and the staff at the hotel were so welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts were of top quality and presented beautifully. Considering the hotel is on a main road there was no noise when we were in our room. The bus service to town is excellent, regular and more or less on the doorstep.

Plussat: We had a good sized, comfortable room, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were excellent.

Miinukset: Although there are frequent and regular bus services into the city, I would have preferred staying in the city centre without the thought of getting a taxi back late at night.

Plussat: Good place to stay and eat. Very friendly staff

Plussat: Smart, pleasant decor. Charming staff. Good location. Good value.

Miinukset: My mattress was rather too firm for my preference.

Plussat: The staff were outstanding all your needs made you feel like home from home.

Plussat: Pretty basic but good enough. However only served from 8.30am to 9.30am but missed it most days

Miinukset: Staff never around. No reception. Breakfast not served long enough

Plussat: Staff was very friendly, close to the city centre. Good value for money

Miinukset: Very small bathroom, breakfast from 9 so if you want an early start it’s a bit late. No hot breakfast

Plussat: This was the perfect place to stay. Close enough to walk to the city center. Great food in this part of town as well. The owner is so great and offered suggestions for places to eat. She was very accommodating and hospitable. Breakfast was fantastic with eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast and jams, ect. Tea or coffee served. Would stay here again.

Miinukset: The Stairs are challenging to navigate.

Plussat: The greeting we got was lovely

Miinukset: The room was clean but a little small and closed in. No proper milk for a cup of tea. Only coffee whitener. No non slip mats in the bathroom.

Plussat: this was a great B * B. We were met at the door by a very nice young man and efficiently shown to our room. The room was very comfortable. Location was excellent, as we were able to walk to everything we wanted to see.

Miinukset: The shower was just barely warm.

Plussat: price and location good for what we required.

Miinukset: larger bathroom.

Plussat: The location was excellent, and it was the only good thing about the hotel. There are shops and restaurants just at the end of the road, and it's not too long a walk to get to the central areas of the city. The person at reception was friendly.

Miinukset: Normally I don't mind if the place I'm staying at is not perfect, and I'm prepared to ignore a few shortcomings. However, there was just too many things added up that I just could not ignore anymore, and I feel that the photographs are very misleading, as that is not the condition the hotel is at the moment. I might not have minded if it had been very cheap, but for the money we paid we were expecting at least a decent place to stay. 1) Hot water completely run out in the middle of my shower. Not being able to have a hot shower after 6 hours of driving across the country and having to shower with cold water was not the way I wanted to start my weekend in Edinburgh. 2) The shower was mouldy. I'm talking about mould on the electric shower dial and the shower hose (which was also leaking even when shower was not working). 3) During the day the room was freezing cold and there was no way of turning the heating on. 4) At breakfast there was not enough of anything, certainly not enough for everyone to have a bit of everything. No one was checking or replenishing anything. No water available. The table setting was inconsistent, there were plates and cups missing, only two plates had napkins on them (no other napkins available anywhere). 5) We had only 3 sachets of coffee in our room (meaning we could either have coffee in the evening we arrived OR the next morning, not both..). Our dirty coffee cups were not replaced the following day, and the coffees were not replenished. 6) We didn't have towels in the room when we arrived. When I asked for some towels we were given one large towel each, no hand/hair towel, no bathroom mat. 7) There was the previous guests' paperwork and used tourist leaflets left in the top drawer of our bedside table (obviously noone is checking the room properly). 8) The pipes in the bathroom are very noisy (sound like a jackhammer).

Plussat: - We stayed for 2 nights and they clean the room everyday. -Breakfast was Continental and the quality of the products was good. Advice, if you miss something in the breakfast let them know it.

Miinukset: - The firts night we had to stay without hot water and no heating system. The second night they had to provide us a electrical heater. They should understand that travellers from other sides of the world may be cold at 10-12 degrees even if they dont. - We asked for a baby cot and the first night was busy. The second night they told us that was broken for the night before. I strongly believe they lied to us both nights because I ask them to see the “broken coat” second night and I still waiting for it!
