The Royal Ettrick Hotel is outside Edinburgh and we chose this location on purpose when we researched our short trip to Scotland. It is a grand old house transformed into a hotel with a bar, a dining area and an outside terrace where one can also dine. It's in a quiet neighborhood and the bus stop is only a block... More

Having stayed at the ettrick a few times I felt I should write a wee review. The hotel itself is an grand old former house which has been tastefully converted into a hotel , the rooms are in comfortable, breakfast is good. The food served in the in house bar/ restaurant is excellent and great value. On site parking is... More

We only stayed at this hotel for one night and I wish we'd booked for longer. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly lad on reception who said our room was not quite ready (we had arrived half an hour early for check in..) so we thought we'd have a drink in their bar area, and ended up having...

I spent fortunately only 2nights in this hotel. I found an old fashion hotel and not in good condition. My room was at the ground floor and in front of my window there was continuous coming and going of the guests. The carpet of the room was very dirty, one of the bed light didn't work as the toilet, it... More

We stay a this pleasant hotel the night before picking up our grandchildren from Edinburgh Airport. It was a very mini break and very enjoyable. Although centrally placed for easy access to shops and attractions it is in a quiet position in leafy Edinburgh. The room was comfortable and the breakfast good. We also had dinner at the hotel which... More

Nice looking hotel. Our room 14 on the top floor was very small. The third bed was a mattress on the floor. The bathroom window had no seal and air was coming in. The room was mildly warmed during the day, but in the evening all heating was off and the room very cold. Every evening we had to ask... More

We were in room 12, the extractor fan in the bathroom was broken, so was the glass in the (beautiful) porthole window, not attended to when we reported it to reception. Only one pillow on the bed. Rather than spending so much money on massive flat screen TVs (they were everywhere!) maybe some general maintenance would be better. One teabag... More

This hotel is in a great spot. It is clean, has great parking- a real plus in Edinburgh. Close to Napier University, Tasty breakfast. Helpful manager. Rooms in the attic smallish and no lift and the walls are thin so if you are a light sleeper this may present a problem - but reasonable value for money. Go for a... More
