Hill Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was awful then eggs were over cooked, the next one was even worse. Went back for more coffee and toast everything had been removed. Literally just on 9.00. Staff could be heard talking loudly and laughing not taking notice of customers. Not good customer service."

"Ideal for the night before a morning flight."

Dakota Edinburgh

"Great stay, very helpful staff"

ibis budget Edinburgh Park

10/10 Excellent

"Close to the airport with a much better rate. A nice bar with reasonable prices and 24 hour coffee station. Continental breakfast was okay, nothing hot. The only item that was a bit of a nuisance was the light in the WC that came on bright in the middle of the night if someone used it.. A nightlight would be much better. Ordered takeaway and ate in the dining room. Uber rate was reasonable as most cafes or eateries were close by."
