Murrayfield Hotel

kortom geweldig

Handig gelegen locatie aan de rand van Edinburgh. Bushalte op wandelafstand. Via bus 100 24/24 busvervoer naar het centrum van de stad en terug. Prachtige kamers in een authentiek gebouw. Vriendelijk personeel (waaronder onze gastheer bij het ontbijt) die helpt waar mogelijk. Zeker een aanrader!

Close to the airport and city with enough space to leave your car. Nice decorated rooms with coffee and the and a spacious bathroom.

Overall it was a pleasant stay at the Murrayfield Hotel. It’s a short journey to the city centre with plenty of transport options available. The pictures do not lie in regards to how lovely it looks from the outside, the lobby, the bar / restaurant which was reassuring. The size of the rooms were a little disappointing considering that we did consider cheaper options but this was not a major issue at all. The service was brilliant. The bartenders and waitresses were very helpful and polite as well as the ladies at reception. They knew a lot about the area and were happy for us to leave our bags with them on the final day after checking out. The only sore note was that on our last night of staying, we were rudely woken by the linen / towel delivery at 5am. They opted to use the side entrance where rooms 1-8 are? Not only us but the room next to us were immediately wide awake not just because of the timing but the fact that the staff were literally running up and down the passage? Considering the focus of the business is to provide a place for people to stay and sleep it was (in our eyes) a let down and definitely something to be considered for future guests.

The overall look and feel of the hotel is very nice and the dining and bar areas have friendly staff. We stayed on the first floor in a corner room and it was very noisy. We could hear people coming down the hallway constantly and even through the walls from near by rooms. While the rooms were kept warm, the hallways and reception area didn’t seem to have much heat and were very chilly.
