Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

Great location with a bus stop just at the entrance if you wish to go into the city centre and also a train station near by and only two stops to Waverley Station.Staff are helpful. Good value for money. Good sized pool. Breakfast was lovely as was diner. less

I thought this might be a good stop over for business in Edinburgh . On calling to make a reservation I decided not. The reception was answered by a lady who sounded bored . She answered saying 'reception' rather than the usual good afternoon followed by the hotel name. She didn't sound cheery or welcoming so I have booked elsewhere. The reception is the first port of call in any hotel, this has to sound professional, this was certainly not the case. less

Stayed here for just an over nighter. The room was clean and tidy, the staff were pleasant and helpful. We used the swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room in the leisure centre which is attached to the hotel and is part of the package. We arrived a bit early so we had lunch at the Options Bistro. We both ordered panini sandwiches. When they arrived the were both over cooked and hard. One of the supervisors asked us how our meal was and when told about the over cooked condition was very apologetic and offered us replacements, we declined so she took the panini off our final bill. Looking round other food served looked nice. Think we were just unlucky. This small “mistake” didn’t put us off, our stay was pleasant and the breakfast the next morning made up for the lunch. Buffet style breakfast with loads to eat and lots of variety. Again staff excellent. Would recommend this hotel anytime to anyone. less

We stayed for one night recently as a family of three. We had a club room with a double bed (two singles together which was massive and very comfy!) and a separate single bed which was more than big enough for my twelve year old. The room itself was a very good size with plenty of space to move around. Even the bathroom was larger than standard hotel rooms. The whole place was spotlessly clean. The pool was great, a definite highlight of our stay. Again spotlessly clean and the staff at the spa/gym reception were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good, lots of choice and the staff couldn’t have done more. I’ve forgotten our lovely servers name but I did put it on the feedback form. The hotel is in an ideal location for exploring Edinburgh. We have never been to Edinburgh before but we parked the car and caught the bus into the city. It was so easy to get there and back and only cost around £4.20 for the three of us one way. Just make sure you have the correct change. We also found Portobello beach really easily. It was around a ten minute walk. Would be much better in the summer and lots of the quirky little shops were closed on a Sunday but definitely worth a stroll if you have a bit of time. The only negatives I can say are the smell of what I can only describe as old chip fat fills the corridors. We would have eaten in the bistro but the smell really put us off. The other thing was the group of idiots that rolled in to the room next door at around midnight and didn’t shut up for the night. Obviously not the hotels fault that other people are so disrespectful. I would have mentioned it at check out but I wasn’t asked how our stay was. Just a simple ‘are you checking out’ and that was it. We will definitely be back in the future and we are looking forward to it! Thank you for a lovely stay :-) less
