Tiny room up quite steep stairs. Bed was small and not so comfy especially for a disabled person with a very bad back. Bathroom tiny which again caused problems with mobility issues. Just Adequate really. Breakfast was okay but you had to ask the waitress (who was lovely) for everything which took time. Very noisy at night following a party till 1am which was annoying.

Very,very run down property in need of investment to bring it up to adequate standards. The location is great though. We left after one day even if we paid for two, as everything looked so unappealing and dirty in the room, with very bad mattresses that we could hardly sleep, put aside the shriek of seagulls waking you at 04:30 as the window is open to provide basic ventilation tomremove the mold smell. Sad because the location is great and we believe the landlords do their best -although we never heard from them.

One night stsy

Nice staff.
However the hotel could do with some upgrades on the rooms.

Bathroom is run down and looks like no refurbishment or painting has taken place for a long time.
Could do with a paint job and replace all units.

Walls are very thin. Could hear everything going on next room, even conversations.

Lovely stay at the Sands

What an absolute hidden gem! We stayed as a family of 4 travelling up to Scotland for the Taylor Swift concert and chose to stay outside of Edinburgh and so pleased we did! Wished we had more time to relax and enjoy the gorgeous location of the Sands but we were given a lovely warm welcome and lots of help in navigating our way to the stadium. Had amazing lunch and the breakfast the following morning was beautiful! Highly recommend this hotel.

Solo stay in November

Have not been to Burntlsand for near 20 years, the staff here made me feel right at home. I had a brilliant time, although the weather was awful, still it's autumn and Scotland so probably to be expected. But thanks to all the staff for making me feel welcome. Food was excellent especially the Scottish breakfast. Thank you all.

We stayed here for 3 nights on the way up to a family wedding further north. There were 3 generations of us, and the hotel catered well for all of us, with comfortable and homely rooms, an excellent restaurant and a welcoming bar. The breakfast choice and quality of food were particularly good. The staff were friendly and attentive when needed.
