Top Borthwick Castle Hotel Reviews

The Abbey Residence

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is wonderful! The rooms are cleaned every day, a kettle is in the room with an assortment of tea and coffee. Their breakfast is very nice, with juices, breads and pastries, fresh fruit, cereal and yogurt. A very attentive staff. It’s very easy to catch the bus into the city, and back. When we couldn’t get the heat to turn off, they were there immediately to fix it. On the last night, we tried to contact the staff to let them know we would be leaving very early, but they didn’t answer their “buzzer” or bell, so we didn’t know what to do with the keys. We hope they found them! Besides that, it was a perfect, safe stay."

Melville Castle

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very cool experience to stay the night in a castle and explore the grounds around the castle. I found trails just over the foot bridge that lead all the way into town. It was the most beautiful trail walk I have taken in a long long time. Stunning!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Likes: Location Castle views Dislikes: Bed was very hard Feathers... duvet, pillows... Multiple times asking for extra towels only for housekeeping to take them and not replace them. The heat! I understand that old buildings don't have AC but a screen in the door or something could help."

Premier Inn Edinburgh A1 - Newcraighall

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and nice. Close to public transportation."

Ravelston House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were brilliant and very helpful with everything we asked for. However, whilst in the bar there was a long wait to be served and guests were having to locate the bar assistant from other parts of the hotel. It may be advantageous to instruct a staff member to be present permamntly, especially when busy. On the Saturday it was busy and the restaurant ran out of eight basic foods items' resulting in two options available. This was at 7.30pm. Please note we did very much enjoy our stay, but these things would refrain us from recommending you to our friends. Thank you for a relaxing stay."

Harvieston Hall Estate Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms was spotless, its a very old building but modern and decorated beautifully, the bathroom was so clean and the shower was nice and powerful. The man was really friendly and the building its self is just amazing, all 5 of us (3 kids ) were impressed. The beds are the comfiest weve ever slept on. 100% would recommend this place . The view is beautiful, the atmosphere is friendly theres fields with cows surrounding it and friendly chickens running around. Nice stay if u love the peace, the shop is walking distance too."

Arden House

10/10 Excellent

"Though an old building, it is very well maintained. Very clean and the host (Alice) very friendly and helpful. it is beautifully placed and our room overlooked the Musselburgh Racecourse/ golfing green. Breakfast (though continental) was very nice and you were able to choose what you wanted and at what time and this was brought up to your room in a lovely basket. Our whole stay there was lovely and would definitely stay there again :)"

Premier Inn Edinburgh A1 - Musselburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and convenient. A little strange that I had to give my license plate number as they have a private park ing ticketing company given parking tickets out. I guess it's a way to make money off guest if they forget to punch in. Stayed in Hotels all over the world, but never seen this tourist trap before."
