This review is based on their restaurant and not their accommodation. My partner and I went here for afternoon tea and I have to say, it was the worst I have ever had. We were placed in a little room which was dark and had no atmosphere whatsoever. The sandwiches were rubbish - tiny little things with disgusting cheap thin... More

We were in edinburgh for a weekend and knew of the minto hotel from previously living in edinburgh. We arrived at 1:00pm to an empty reception. There was a chef in the back area of the reception who eventually saw us and said he would go and get someone. A lady appeared and asked what she could do... we told... More

Have stayed here twice for business at the university pollock halls. It is very handy for this. Good deals on meals for 2. Rooms clean and although mine was small my colleagues was lovely and big. More

Will keep this short and sweet. Bought the Groupon voucher for £11.50 (original value apparently £28....!!!!) and used it last week. It was, by far, the worst afternoon tea I have ever had. Firstly, I asked for vegetarian sandwiches (no meat, no chicken, no tuna....simple really?). When the cakes and sandwiches came out, the bread was dry. I was given... More

Stayed as part of wedding party over four nights; group size ranged between 12 and 22 people on different nights; age range 4 to 80's. Although far from perfect the Minto Hotel easily out-performed it's cost and star-rating. POSITIVES: Staff/Service - Very friendly, helpful and efficient; went out of their way to accommodate our party on a number of occasions... More

Went to the Minto for afternoon tea this past July, with my husband and two teenage children after purchasing a Groupon. According to the description on the Groupon, we were to have a lovely afternoon tea including finger sandwiches, scones and pastries. Here's the deal: http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/edinburgh/themintohotel/480232 Looks great, right? Well, after being seated in a dark lounge area off the... More

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights the room was alright but the service at breakfast was appalling = 1 young waitress who was trying her best. We sat for an hour with no service, in the end we cleared our table and reset it, when eventually breakfast arrived it was swimming in oil. Very poor. On the Sunday... More
