Best Western Plus Edinburgh City Centre Bruntsfield Hotel

Having stayed at this hotel on several occasions we are always drawn back to it for its location, standard of service and comfy rooms. The hotel is great for sightseeing with public transport easily accessible. Definitely recommend! less

Stayed here one night in January while working in Edinburgh. I used to live in this part of Edinburgh as a student 40 odd years ago and there was a little snug bar at the side that was our local. It's long gone, but the hotel itself, which I'd never stayed in before, seems to have gone from strength to strength. Nothing not to like about this stay for me. I was given a large room with period features at the front, with a big three part window looking over Bruntsfield Links. The would have been great but unfortunately it was dark all the time I was there. There was another room attached with bunk beds and a second TV, wardrobe and the dreaded trouser press and off it was the en-suite bathroom. This would obviously be great as a family room. The room itself was great, plenty of space for a massive bed, desk and chair and couple of bucket seats and a coffee table. There was also everything you would need including a hairdryer and an ironing board and table in case you don't trust that trouser press... The double glazing and heavy curtains meant there was little traffic noise and I slept reasonably well. Ate in the Bisque bar in the evening and found the service good and the food decent and reasonably priced. There's also plenty of different types of restaurant in the immediate area. Breakfast was also good with the usual buffet and the usual cooked options. No smoked haddock and poached egg which is my personal favourite, but plenty of other choices so can't complain. Staff that I met were all great. For anyone that doesn't know Edinburgh, Bruntsfield is a great area to stay in. It's trendy and elegant and has its own community feel, with great shops, restaurants and pubs and some great open space in the Links and nearby Meadows. It's also great for the city centre with plenty of good bus services, though you can walk to the city centre in maybe about 25 minutes and Haymarket station in about 20. Overall, really enjoyed my short stay and would return without hesitation. less

Helpful and patient staff. Arrived without reservation and was given a newly refurbished room at a good price. They also allowed us to keep our car in the car park for the day. Very happy with our stay, would recommend to anyone. less

Very comfortable hotel in a quiet and elegant part of the city. Exec Room was large and comfortable, bed was excellent, very good shower. Restaurant food was excellent with very friendly staff and breakfast choice was massive. We thought it was good value for money. Not posh but very comfortable feel to it. Room was very warm so we had to turn the heater off and open the windows to make it more comfortable even in January as it was mild weather. No air con so might be hot in summer so they provide fans. The location is 20 mins walk to the city so not too far and close to the The Meadows park. Bruntsfield Place itself has plenty of restaurants and bars and local shops which was a nice option in the evening. Within 10 mins walk there are bistros, Italian, European, Chinese, Indian restaurants walking away from the city centre. less

This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. Although it is listed as a city centre hotel, it is just slightly outside what I would term as city centre. Parking is a bit tight, and that is about the only down side to this hotel. The staff are great, cleanliness is excellent, the rooms comfortable and well equipped, and the Full Scottish Breakfast is terrific! We stayed in a Superior Room on a bed and breakfast basis, and will obviously consider using the hotel again next time we visit Edinburgh! less
