Murrayfield Hotel

It was the second time with my niece we stayed at that hotel. We had liked the place during our first stay and decided to stay there again. We were upgraded to a bigger twin room with high ceiling on the first floor with the view on the garden in the back. Very nice bathroom too. The hotel has a nice breakfast formula, it is a mix of buffet with a dish you can choose from.

Staff: very very friendly and helpful! I asked for a quiet room and they provided me with the most quiet room, a garden house in another building, two houses away from the main building. They helped me with all my questions regarding Edinburgh city. They were always very welcoming and gave us a "just like home" feeling. (10/10) Location: way better than any other busy location in the city center, a place to have some rest after a busy day. The rugby stadium of Murrayfield is visible from the other side of the road, beautiful lightings in the evening, and next to the rugby stadium a nice little park with the Water of Leith walkway. Great location to start your journey walking on the Water of Leith walkway to the National Galleries (15-20 minutes) up to Dean Village (20-25 minutes) and the Royal Botanic Garden (25-30 minutes). Only a 10-15 minutes bus ride to Princes Street/ Waverly Station (city center), with the bus stop being a 2 minute walk from the hotel, and many many busses passing by (most frequent: Lothian Buses). Way better than any other busy location in the city center, a place to have some rest after a busy day. (10/10) Room: warm and cozy, clean, all necessary extras available. (10/10) Hotel: consists of two buildings (one being 2 houses away from the main building, with a beautiful little garden), great architecture, nice and clean buildings (gives you a Scottish feeling right away)! (10/10) Parking: available for guests behind the main building. (10/10)

We were staying for a trip to Edinburgh and Oasis concert, from the moment we arrived the staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful (thank you Mo!). The bar and restaurant is the hotel’s centrepiece and is an excellent location for travelling into the city and just a few steps away from Murrayfield Stadium. The size of the room is small but the bed is comfy and the bathroom is spacious so makes up for this.

I like the restaurant at the hotel. The trout dish and the tomato soup were both excellent. The breakfast, especially the avocado toast, was perfect. The chef obviously put a lot of thought into the pairing of ingredients as well as the presentation of the food. If I were to come back to visit Edinburgh again, I would definitely visit the lovely restaurant at the hotel again.

First, I want to take a minute to acknowledge Kate at the front desk, who was absolutely phenomenal. Her professionalism, kindness and empathy was unmatched and truly made my stay an exceptional experience. The door to my room unfortunately would not unlock, no fault to her. So she took my bags while I ate dinner and when I was finished she had already taken my bags UP TO MY NEW ROOM! Which I was also upgraded! I will say traveling alone can be stressful but her attentiveness to the details and issues at hand made the stressful situation so much less so. The room, the food, the bed was incredible. I was sad to have only stayed one night but I will surely be back again! Thank you so much for the outstanding service and kindness!!!
