We had a wonderful time at the Braid Hills hotel.
I found the styling of the hotel to be more 4 star than 3.
There was a beautiful staircase and the room was very classic. There was a lovely ceramic tea set including tea pot in the room which I though was a lovely touch. I am growing tired of the ultra modern decor in so many hotels, it lacks personality and can come across as cheap.

The room was spotless and the bathroom was lovely. The extra phone in the bathroom made us giggle but I imagine would come in quite handy!

We had a great time and the staff were lovely and very professional.

I usually find dthe Best Western always give value and the staff attitude is very helpful, this is no exception. They all take pride in the service and I was warmly greeted and even had the manager checking that the room was warm enough. For the business traveller they provide WIFI and a decent desk and plenty of power sockets. Downside if on 3rd floor there is no lift!
I love the old classic building and high ceilings and wide corridors. Very clean everywhere. Breakfast exellent with lovely views across Edinburgh from Convervatory Roo, All usual, plus kippers and haddock. Had Bistro meal and just got in before closing -chefs special altho cheap it appeared to be reheated and half of veg dry and limp.
Overall Great value if using laterooms.

First the positives because the hotel has many good things going for it. The staff appeared efficient, the price for our room represented decent value, the good bus service into the city allows one to park up for free and the rooms are a reasonable size if a little dated. However when we arrived we were given a room which smelt of vomit. Our complaint was quickly dealt with and we were allocated another room - fine I hear you say. But I got to thinking, did reception know about the room and, if so, why were we allocated it in the first place? Surely the room staff would have warned the front desk. It was a downer and I'm not sure if we will stay again, it was our second visit. If I could I would mark the hotel as a 2.5 rather than a 3.

Nice air of old fashioned comfort and elegance. Great breakfast. Quite expensive even with pre-payment discount. Lack of english speaking ability on front desk was poor first impression though the Irish lady the next time was excellent. Very good bus service to City Centre (St Andrews Square at end of George Street).
