Worth weighing

- Breakfast replenishment can lag — A few guests noted that the breakfast selection wasn’t refilled promptly, so late risers might miss cold cuts.
- Limited in-room entertainment — TV channels are limited – no BBC channels – though Wi-Fi is available for streaming.
- Facilities score below other categories — Guest ratings for facilities are lower than for staff and rooms, suggesting simpler overall amenities.

8.1Verified guest“The family queen room looked a bit plain in photos but was actually well-equipped, with a shared bathroom. The location was great for Edinburgh, very close to good restaurants and markets within a 15-minute walk, and the rear garden was a nice extra. We also went to The Golf Tavern for a drink, which was not far from the hotel.”
8.1Verified guest“I’d recommend this place. It’s a nice little hotel with pleasant staff. The room was cool and big, and it even had a shower and hairdryers.”
8.1Verified guest“We were made to feel like family! Everyone was very warm and accommodating. They looked after our car and met all our needs. When we told them we were leaving early before breakfast, they prepared food for us to take. Later, when we had a problem after leaving, the host and his wife immediately went to help us. We’d gladly return.”
8.1Verified guest“We stayed in the apartment that belongs to Menzies Guest House on Gilmour Place. It was comfortable, pleasant, and well situated. The apartment was clean, spacious, and modern, with good facilities, and it was very convenient for the Kings Theatre, the Cameo Cinema, and the good restaurants in Bruntsfield, plus an excellent bus route nearby.”
8.1Verified guest“The room was elegant with a high ceiling and nice decoration. Breakfast was tasty but not properly replenished – if you arrive late, the cold cuts are gone. Internet was good, but there were no BBC channels.”
8.1Verified guest“The staff were very polite and helped me a lot.”
