Nestled atop a hill overlooking the historic city of Edinburgh and its iconic castle, the Braid Hills Hotel offers a truly delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were met with a friendly welcome, setting the tone for our two-night stay at this beautiful establishment with its charming, old-world feel.
Our room was impressively spacious, comfortably furnished with a sofa, chair and a well-maintained en-suite bathroom. It was spotlessly clean and tidy, providing a lovely base for our Edinburgh exploration.
We chose to dine at the hotel on our first evening and were not disappointed. The food was nicely cooked and served with excellent service, making for a very enjoyable meal. The bar was also a pleasant surprise, being nicely stocked with a good selection of drinks.
Breakfast each morning was nice, with a good buffet spread. Any items that ran low were quickly replenished, ensuring a continuous and satisfying start to our day.
The hotel's location is also incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Situated on a bus route, we found the journey into the city center to be an easy and pleasant 30-minute ride.
Overall, we would highly recommend the Braid Hills Hotel. Its stunning views, friendly atmosphere, comfortable accommodations, and excellent service make it a perfect choice for a visit to Edinburgh. We would most definitely choose to stay here again on our return to the city.
