Best Western Edinburgh South Braid Hills Hotel

We regularly stay in this hotel, which is a little quirky but provides us with excellent car parking and large, quiet comfortable rooms with plenty of hot water. The staff are pleasant and friendly and apart from the fact that there are no lifts I think that the hotel works really well. We have stayed at hotels nearer the city centre in past years, and altho' we get taxis on several occassions when we stay at Braid Hills, I think that it's worth it. I would always recommend this hotel. Why is it quirky? Well I think the breakfast buffet takes a little getting used to, and I miss the blsck pudding these days, but there's haggis! less

Staff at South Braid Hills was extremely helpful with booking my late request and answering all of my questions; Kelly at the front desk was the best. Staying at a hotel which was comfortable, well-maintained, and great location made my trip enjoyable. Add a fantastic deck to watch sunsets and be able to see Edinburgh Castle with a cold drink added much to my trip. less

The Hotel is easy to find by car, there’s a lot of free Parking available, also for bigger cars or coaches. Staff was exceptionally friendly, attentive and helpful. The room we got was on the 1st story up, right next to a set of stairs which was a bit noisy when people came up and down, also was it one of two conjoined rooms and the neighbours were very well audible (but luckily quiet at night). Apart from a little dust, the room was clean. We were travelling with two large suitcases and easily fitted everything. The bathroom is a bit squishy, but in exchange is the shower very spacious. Some rooms don’t have A/C, for us it was no problem as temperatures weren’t very high. There is free highspeed Wifi, although it was not accessible from our room. There was no elevator, not sure if there are rooms on the ground floor or if other rooms are accessible by elevator. Breakfast was ok but nothing out of the ordinary. They offer a variety of hot foods, also local specialties. Dietary restrictions are no problem. less

I often take my elderly relatives here. The restaurant is superb: good Scottish food with a contemporary twist. Friendly and honest staff. Easy access for older people. Highly recommended for lunch and dinner. less

We spent two nights at this very cosy hotel! We had a splendid view of Edinburgh, the room was clean and very nice with beautiful wallpaper. Breakfast was good and the hotel pub was great with very good pub food. I can easily recommend this very nice hotel BUT there’s no lift which might be a problem for some people but on the other hand they’re very helpful so don’t bother:-) less
