Great friendly hotel
Overall pleasing stay as we only booked a small room it was as it said (small) room was in need of tlc but looks as if the hotel is in the middle of refurbishment as some rooms looked really nice and the public toilets had been completely renovated, having said this we enjoyed our stay food , and staff all excellent and management couldn’t have done more , we stayed for a party being held in the hotel and everything was great

Great service and breakfast
The service that was offered was above and beyond most hotels I’ve stayed at. The breakfast was phenomenal and the kindness of the staff to understand our situation of checking in on New Years Eve was tremendous for us. As we were in a small bind of finding a place after ours was canceled. Thank you Rosslyn Hotel and staff!

The location in Roslin is nice, and not too far outside Edinburgh. The food in the restaurant was very good. The property is pretty old and could use some work, but it does have some character. The staff was friendly and the restaurant service was very good. The breakfast was pretty good as well. Overall, the price was a little high for what you get.

Comfortable and friendly.
For the amount we paid for B & B we were rather unhappy with the size of our room and the housekeeping. (Cobwebs, cracked basin, stained carpet).

Nice hotel with bus stop to Edinburgh
Only stayed a couple of nights but they were great. Good full breakfast. The pub is split with one quieter side with evening dining separate from the main pub section. Friendly, helpful staff, nice layout and good beer! :)

Over priced for what it is. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Room noisey as people turned in but quiet later on. If it was 80 rather than over 100 may stay again.

Charming old hotel in a great location
We had a great time at the Original Rosslyn Hotel. It was easy walking distance to the Rosslyn Chapel, and we could catch a bus right in front of the hotel to downtown Edinburgh. The pub was small but charming, the breakfast was very good and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was that the wifi was down and they were not able to get it fixed during our stay.

Quiet and clean.
This was a quiet Inn with pub and restaurant where we stayed for one night. We arrived late and the cook was just ready to leave, so they gave us a few limited options for supper. The room was clean and comfortable enough.

Friendly B & B linked to a pub. Food and hospitality was great. There was a bus stop right outside which took you to Edinburgh ( also ran a night bus service which was useful for the New Year Party !)

Fantastic hotel - highly recommended
We stayed for 2 nights over New Year and had a brilliant stay. Room had a four poster bed that was really comfortable with complementary toiletries and refreshments. We had an evening meal at the hotel and the food was amazing, large portions and really tasty. The breakfast was fantastic, lots to choose from and a full cooked breakfast that fills you up all day! Food again was great. What a fantastic hotel, great food, great hospitality. Great location for sightseeing, good regular bus service into Edinburgh opposite the hotel. Would highly recommend the hotel, really friendly and welcoming with nothing too much trouble. We will definitely be staying again. 100% recommend this hotel, great place. Thank you for your great hospitality.

Very Poor Experience
We stayed two nights in the hotel as we attended a wedding in the area. The recption area is small and next to a very noisy bar. Hearing the F word repeated loudly as you check in is not a good start. We were taken up stairs to our room and the stairs was badly in need of vacuuming (in fact it was not vacuumed all weekend).. Our room was musty and the carpet was not very clean. The very small en-suite smelled very strange and the towels were thin and scatchy. The shower was old style and poor quality and the washbasin stained. . On day two our clean towels were not in the en-suite but in the bedroom being dried off on the radiator. Although the staff were friendly and in the restaurant, attentive, they need to be more organised and better informed/trained. This hotel was overpriced and very disappointing. The only plus was that the bar food was quite good.

Convenient to take bus in front of the hotel. Room key did not work, and found that necessary to pull the door to make it work. Breakfast service was very good. Near the chapel Rosslyn is very good.

Hotel was very accomodating for a family of four. Breakfast was excellent. It's a three minute walk to the Rosslyn Chappel, made famous in Dan Brown's The Davinci Code.

A good choice
This is a nice guest house/pub with friendly staff and a good choice of breakfast available. Room was a little on the small side but otherwise happy with our stay. Sadly did not get the chance to have an evening meal there as we had tickets for the Fringe. Bus stop right outside and took about 40 mins to get to the Royal Mile. Buses run on time and run very frequently back from Edinburgh. A good choice to stay.

Disappointing
It could be a good place for friends, but definitely not good for family, trust me. Here are the reasons 1. The pub downstairs is loud until 2 am and one can hear everything from upstairs. It was very disturbing, I had to ask them to tune down the music!!! 2. The WiFi is awfully slow and not working most of the time, assume there is no wifi connectivity, definitely false advertisement. 3. Supposed to have breakfast in the morning and nobody was there in the morning. We waited and waited and left. No breakfast! The guy in the front desk, I could not catch his name, who is also running the kitchen and the pub downstairs at the same time was nice and accommodating. When my son got sick he helped us quite a bit. He is clearly well-intentioned. When asked, he can accommodate quite a bit. But the point is, you do not need to ask for what is standard in many 4 star places in the world. They are clearly understaffed, it is not a nice place to stay with family. Unfortunately, as a person who traveled all around the world and stayed in very different places, I can attest to this without any reservation. I am sad to leave this review, but this is the fact. They are quite pricey for what they offer, the niche old Scottish experience in an authentic Scottish village close to Edinburgh, because they cannot meet this promise. For a couple of bachelor friends it could be very nice, but for family stay away from it,. Stayed August 2015, traveled with family
