The staff were great but the hotel needs some attention

It is possibly the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. The room was freezing, the radiators must be on a timer. A deep clean of the carpets etc would help with the smell. The flooring in the shower looks like a cattle grid rather than an ensuit. The furniture is very dated and cheap. The TV on the wall is positioned incorrectly as you cannot see the picture if you are lying in bed.

It is a shame as the location is great especially with on site parking. As I said the staff were great but you could increase your income by investing in upgrading the property.

Then this is perfectly acceptable. Breakfast was fine also and parking onsite. Would use again.

Good location for rugby, going to airport or into the city. Bus stop right outside the door. Bed linen fresh and clean. Not much else positive to say. Whole B+B (not a hotel) run down and scruffy. Entry door with chipped paint and dirty, car park weedy and old cigarette butts lying around do not give a 1st good impression (my heart sank).Silicone and duct tape holding bits together. Only 1 sachet of coffee. Wet, manky duvet appeared in the bath during the night and still there in the morning. Continental breakfast poor but cooked good. English speaking gentleman at check in but 2 chinese people (while very nice) do breakfast and checkout in the morning with relatively poor English. The Bothy (Murrayfield Hotel) 5-7 minutes walk away nearest for food and drink. I wouldn't stay again.

Mixed Experience During Our Stay

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights during our road trip to Edinburgh. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly, which we appreciated. Having a parking lot was also very convenient.

However, there were some issues during our stay. When we entered our room, the heater was off, and the room was quite cold. Although the staff turned it on promptly when we mentioned it, it would have been better if the room was warm upon arrival. The room had a private bathroom, but there were no slippers provided, which was a bit inconvenient.

Additionally, the kettle in the room was rusty, so we couldn’t make tea or coffee. At breakfast, since we don’t consume meat products, we were served just one egg and one tomato, which felt insufficient. The packaged products on the table were overly sweet, so we ended up skipping breakfast entirely and decided to leave early the next morning.

While the staff were kind and accommodating, I believe the hotel could improve its amenities and breakfast offerings for a better guest experience.

Staff was pleasant and transport links were great. However next to a main road which wasn’t great and we gave up using the en-suite as it was causing a lot of noise . The communal toilets also had the same problem but not as bad as they weren’t in the same room as you.

The room was very cramped and bed was serviceable but not very comfortable

I would stay again , but would avoid the en-suite rooms

Place is fine to stay if you’re just using it as a bed or base for going into the city centre/murrayfield. Very easy to get to. The Asian man at the front is very nice and helpful. Only issue I had was the water pressure of the shower, it’s very weak. Aside from that, happy to stay there again

The staff makes the Twin Lions a nice place to stay. Also I made a mistake and book a night for two rooms while by myself and left me homeless for the second night after I arrived, Second night after 4 nights. They accommodated me no questions ask and it was my fault. Next time in Edinburgh I am staying at the Twin Lions. Besides breakfast is good!!!

Had a good stay. I had the room with my own private bathroom. The room was clean and the hotel itself was nice and quiet so got a good night’s sleep. It’s quite outdated and the bathroom door didn’t have a handle on the inside. A small thing that can easily be rectified. The TV was tiny but I had a good night’s sleep which is the most important thing.

Breakfast was really good. The hosts were very nice.

This property appears to be run by a nice family. They let me check in very early in the morning without additional costs, and when I had to leave prior to breakfast, packed up a nice breakfast to go that I was able to take on the road. The room I was in could use refreshing however, its current state reflected the cost which was very reasonable.

The staff and owners were very friendly and accommodating! They were the highlight of the establishment. They allowed us to drop off our luggage when our flight arrived early in the morning. Hot breakfast was always provided with friendly service. When our activities required us leaving the hotel before breakfast, they made sure to provide us with fruit, juice, and pastries to go the night before. When we mentioned being cold the first afternoon (since we come from a much warmer climate), they brought a space heater and then made sure to turn on the radiator for us for the evening. The gentleman that manned the front desk in the evenings was always prepared to help with any questions we had about getting around to our destinations the next day. The room was clean, though small. There was very little space to move around. The mattresses could have used a rotation, and the shower showed signs of mold, as well as the shower door not shutting properly. Other than that, the room was well maintained. The rest of the property also seemed well maintained. The area was quiet and there was a bus stop conveniently located in front of the hotel, with the return stop just a few minutes walk down the street. This made getting around fairly easy. It was also a short walk to the Edinburgh zoo!

No hot water. But other than that it was a really nice stay. An old Scottish house, lovely. Hopefully they resolve the hot water issue. We will stay there again

The property is easy to find on the main road from Airport to city centre. The small tight car park was not easily accessed for my size of vehicle. The property is dated and very tired. The shared bathrooms and toilet facilities are small and tight. The property would be best described in my opinion as \"Any port in a storm\". Unfortunately this guest will not be returning.

Stayed for one night as I had an early flight from Edinburgh airport the next day. The member of staff who checked us in was very pleasant. We were unable to have breakfast due to the time of our flight so I can’t comment on the catering. The room itself was in need of a little bit TLC and the bed was very squeaky but for one night it was fine. Convenient for the airport as the bus stop is across the road from the hotel.

Absolutely shocking

Booked this three star hotel just outside Edinburgh.

Probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Seemed clean as you first walked in, but the bedroom furniture - chair especially - looked disgusting.

The room was tiny. The headboard on the bed was ridiculously slanted giving the impression everything was a bit out of alignment.

I don’t know how old the bed is, but I would lay money the mattress is the original. The bed was noisy when anyone moved and very uncomfortable - terrible night sleep for both my wife and myself.

The bathroom was again very small. There was no handle on the door so you could close. You had to pull on the lock to close the door. There was no hook for hanging a towel. Tile on the floor was cracked. Plumbing used one of those electric pumps which was very noisy.

Breakfast was interesting. There was a selection sheet on the table. Had some cereal and then the cooked breakfast arrived. Bacon was ok, sausage seemed very cheap and anemic - I couldn’t eat it. Egg was so well cooked it was hard. Tomato was a cold tomato and then just put on the plate. Toast was ok. Following day at breakfast we just ordered toast and the cook was surprised we weren’t ordering the cooked.

The only positive thing I can say is that there was parking as advertised.

Manager was nice and helpful and overall property was clean. We could hear a lot of noise during the night and sounded like someone was being sick. TV didn't work properly and missing lights, We had a double room which was ok for the one night we stayed, however shower was very small with a high step in.
This was definitely a B&B, not a hotel and should be priced as such.

Shambles of a hotel

The room had far too many beds in it, there was not any room to move at all. This room should only be classed as a double. The bathroom had hairs in the sink and the shower.
The bedding had marks on it. Breakfast was very poor we only got 1 slice of and 1 egg. The toast was not even toasted properly. We would definitely not stay here again.

Bad night sleep

Definitely would not recommend it. Our bed was lumpy and sleep was extremely uncomfortable. Bunk bed was actually damaged. Top tier was extremely loose and held with tape (picture) and extra bracket (on all corners). It felt dangerous so told my girl to sleep on lower level.Our main bed also had additional brackets on all corners (wonder why). No remote for TV. Missing shelf on wall (very visible, as supports still in place). Patches on walls and ceiling. Great view from window - into brick wall). Amazing wardrobe unit (picture). Bathroom had rust in places, mould visible and was very dim. We arrived late to hotel and had to put my daughter to bed as soon as possible - last thing i needed is to complain while she was trying to fall asleep.
I did not have expectations from this but room was rather run down. Breakfast was acceptable. When leaving hotel no receptionist was present (to pass on any complaints). Only lady from kitchen who did nothing else than to accept my keys. Started to talk, but it did no seem like it was her responsibility or interest.
Few pictures attached. Have videos demonstrating how loose bunk bed is, but unable to upload.

I will avoid in future.

Hotel is rather dated but nice enough for a short stay. Staff really friendly and attentive even made us a takeaway breakfast as we were leaving before cooked breakfast started. Worst night sleep in a long time neighbours returned back to their room at 3am and playing music until 8am … you can’t choose who is in the room next to you but the hotel doesn’t have much soundproofing so if they’re noisy you will know about it.

Loved that this hotel was right next to the bus stop which helped us a lot. The included breakfast was also really nice and staff were helpful! The room was a bit small and cramped, but overall met our needs. My only complaint is that the mattress on the top bunk was TERRIBLE. Luckily with an extra down comforter beneath me I was able to sleep, but without that I don't think the bed would have been bearable.
