Okay, the hotel is a little dated, nearly every step is accompanied by a chorus from the floorboards or stairs but you can expect that of a hotel this age. The views over the Forth are obscured from some rooms by the large trees but you can still see lots of the beach and river from the rooms.
The staff, led by Dal are truly friendly and helpful and service is always accompanied with a smile and a jovial greeting.
There is a good choice of food on the breakfast menu, enough to satisfy most customers and set them up for whatever their day may have in store. Since our last visit (this was our third) there has been the addition of Indian curries to the menu, they were very tasty and I encourage you to try them. The English food on the menu was nice enough, but the presentation and the quality of the food is somewhat lacking.
The hotel is not far from Kinghorn railway station for those who prefer to take the train into Edinburgh and the trains a frequent.

The staff where very friendly and attentive, food was excellent, the bed was comfortable. The shower was good . My only complaint would be the tea and coffee was cold and toast was served 10 minutes before the cooked breakfast was served. The breakfast itself was hot and good quality. We would definitely go back .

Checked out after a few minutes

Postcode was useless to find the hotel which was ~600m away. Why not describe location as well?
Inside was very tired with threadbare carpet. Room was Spartan like. Although we had prepaid, we left after a few minutes. No refund - breakfast was \"complimentary\".

Well welcomed.

The multi tasking receptionist was excellent and very helpful, even carrying our heavy bags up to our good sized room !
I was disappointed with the food which arrived too quickly and seemed to be already prepared. The breakfast \"menu\" was a bit miserable and confusing and for some reason was limited to a type of egg and 4 accompanying items - an unfull English so to speak !
It's well situated with good views of Edinburgh across the Firth and ample parking but be careful parking under the tree s !

The hotel has clearly seen better days and is in need of a complete refurbishment. The room was dated, with a stained carpet and a squeaky bed. The linoleum bathroom floor was peeling away in some areas. The bed linen was clean, but there were some unidentified hairs in the shower. Breakfast was okay.

A completely different note goes to the staff – they were extremely kind and helpful.

Special mention to the Indian restaurant: we didn’t eat there as we weren’t expecting it, but the dishes we saw looked very appetizing.

On the whole, our stay was good.The staff were very helpful and we both enjoyed the two meals we had. The hotel is in transtion at the moment coming under new ownership. Its down side is it location being at the extreme edge of Burntisland and the fact that the main fife costal railway was on the other side of the road, so it was quiet unless a train was going by. The hotel has regular bus services going by. Locals are happy to come in for their evening meals which is usually a good sign.

The staff were top notch. Absolutely the friendliest you could ask for.
However, the description and the website are misleading. The menus are not accurate and the facilities are worn. My headboard was vinyl with multiple scratches and tears. The bathroom shower was only cold ( yes…. I know how to operate. Yes. We tried… for 25 minutes. The tub hot water was fine….. but the plug had no chain and no way to remove.)
For those who are concerned about such things…. You literally have to lock yourself into your room with a skeleton key, and there is not a reasonable egress. The only option is to leave your door unlocked. Not ideal.
Location was nice….. but you are on the motorway and the train is beside that.
It IS a very good value. We stayed in the suite and despite having no AC or fans, we could open the windows if we kept the lights off (midges.) it’s not the hotels fault that people from a party were standing outside our window talking loudly until 11:15 pm

Lovely staff and location. I asked for a room with a bath on check in, they asked for an extra £30. The hotel was quiet so this was a disappointment. Limited menu and the food was okay. The back of the hotel where our view was contained empty bottles on the hillside and a water pipe! It’s tired but the pleasantness of the staff made up for it.

Good hotel but breakfast could be improved

Room was good, although the view of room 11 was blocked by a large tree. The balcony down the corridor had a great view across to Edinburgh.
Dinner menu sounds great online but was nothing special (seemed like cooked frozen fish & chips), although service was good.
Breakfast service was chaotic and felt penny pinching, eg one had to ask for a yoghurt. I chose the vegetarian elements of the Scottish breakfast and just got 1/2 tomato, 1 poached egg and a few withered mushrooms with 1 slice of GF toast. They were out of beans.

Stayed in room 10. Bed very comfy but the bathrooms had loads of hair in the bath. Definitely not mine as I have very little !

If you do stay in room 10 please be very careful of the taps if you run a bath. The hot and cold are reversed and the hot is VERY hot- and on the wrong side. Reported to reception.
Also the room backed into the kitchen / cellar building and something was noisy- sounded like maybe the air on fan for the cellar

Food was ok but just standard fodder

Kingswood Seaview Double with Balcony

Our stay in a balcony sea view double was lovely. A pleasant room, a little dated maybe and would benefit from a 'proper' clean not just a tickle round with a duster. The bed was very comfy and the bedding spotless and fresh. A good shower and nice toiletries too. Breakfast was delicious served in a beautiful room overlooking the gardens and out to sea. Overall a lovely stayover for my husband and I and we shall certainly return in the future :)
