Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

Just far enough out and on the right side of town if you're a Sassenach making your way back home in the morning. Rooms were nice and spacious, breakfast was decent, communal areas were a touch dated. Good value for £65 a night. I walked into Musselburgh which is a good 30 minute journey, luckily Storm Dennis had just blown itself out beforehand. less

Lucky only stayed the one night. The room was very was very small and very basic. The walls was paper thin hearing everything from the adjoining rooms. The room badly needs to be modernised. Couldn’t even have a much needed shower due to the toothbrush power of the shower. Very disappointed! The only plus I could give was the breakfast on the morning and the friendliness off the staff. less

Hotel is set up very well to deal with the COVID situation and feels very clean and safe. As always the staff can't do enough to help. Breakfast and evening meals were very good. I wouldn't stay anywhere else when working in the area less

I have stayed at this hotel parhaps 6 or 7 times, and I always get good service, good food at a reasonable price, even now in the middle of Covid 19 the hotel is still operating. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the accommodation and food is good value less

Being first point of caring for my parents who live 129miles from us and needing a place to stay( a bit like the nativity) and finding no room at our usual Inn, we found a room for three nights here at the Kings Manor. They were only too glad to accomodate us so we could check up of my folks before Christmas and the change of Covid rules. Great deal of £147 for three nights including breakfast and I asked when booking for a ground floor room and abracadabra our wish was granted.Robert was the gentleman whom I spoke to when booking over the phone and he also checked us in. Club room as you will see was a good size and clean and fresh. All covid rules adhered to and well signposted. Plenty of parking including extra around the side of the hotel. Santisers at every point and room service was no issue. We had travelled a long way and stopped off to check in on my parents before arriving so although option to eat in the Bistro was available , room service sounded right up our street. So ordered the Pate to start as a sharing plate and then I had my favourite Lamb Shank ( see photo menus) Hubby had the Scampi and was the best plate of Scampi he has had for a while in a hotel. Ordered two bottles of wine and because of the current 25% off mains at the moment the bill was well impressive £71.00. Skipped breakfast as lunching with mum and dad later and had this in the bistro. Fish and chips for me and mum and there is an option for a smaller portion at £6.98. Mum had the small and I had the large. Really fresh and delicious. Mushy peas were not the best standard and seemed very dry but no big issue. Dad plumped for the 8oz Rib Eye Steak and had it cooked medium. It looked and tasted delicious. Sorry no piccie but dad was so enjoying it . Well worth the money especially with the 25% discount. Hubby tried the Lamb Shank and although it was tasty it wasnt quite like mine the night before( perhaps kept too long in a heater?). Mum likes dessert and had lovely vanilla ice cream and I had the chocolate brownie sundae ( first ever brownie for me ) yum yum. Coffee for the boys. Double Espresso for hubby and good quality bean. This Hotel is on the road to Joppa and Musselburgh and I always knew about it but never stayed before, but will definitely return. It is close to very large shopping complex and within a bus ride to the centre of the Capital City. It does have a spa and fitness suite but this visit was a carers visit and so didnt use . The waiting staff were amazingly understanding as my mum has late stages of Dementia and my father is crippled but there is parking for the less able too. Nothing was too much bother and Joyce our main waitress always served us with a smile. Comfy bed and room was a good temperature . Saturday morning we had a light breakfast and the young man ( should have got his name) was impeccable and although so young his experience and customer service and professionalism was second to none. The continental cheese and meat platter was very tasty with a small but good selection of cheese .Menu shows the extensive breakfast choice on the photo. Hubby just wanted toast. Breakfast on Sunday the day of departure at 10am. Service by Anna who was pleasant enough but could learn a few people skills from our young man server. I ordered the cooked breakfast and I am afraid to say that if it hadnt been in with the room rate I would have sent it back. It was rather oily and not drained well. The bacon and sausage didnt seem to have been (grilled) as described on the menu as the sausage was very pale and wan and the bacon fat was not crisped off and had to be removed. Egg was nicely cooked and who could go wrong with beans? The mushrooms I gave to my hubby as not keen on mushrooms and perhaps just as well as he was so deflated with the chefs special that sounded great but was anything but. Smoked Salmon with Scrambled egg. The egg looked like it was powdered (although the receptionist stated that it would not have been) was way over cooked and pretty much sliceable (dry and not moist) . It was served on a dry bun with thinly sliced salmon.The salmon was okay. Better presentation would be an improvement. However all in all the staff were friendly and helpful and the meal on the Friday in the bistro with my folks was a great day as although we cant spend Christmas with them due to Covid it was our version of a Christmas day meal. The location and room and price were all 100% and cant wait to come back in better times. Good luck with business and stay safe .Merry Christmas to all staff Thank you less
