Usher Hall Tours

Wonderful Stay, Incredible Staff, and Great Location! As a first-time international traveler from the United States, there are plenty of things you don't fully realize until you get there—and staying at The Murrayfield Hotel made that transition such a great experience! First, the staff is truly unmatched. Every single person we encountered was warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to accommodate us. One night, we came in late just as the restaurant was about to close, and they kindly stayed open to make me a fresh meal—not leftovers, something cooked fresh to order. Every time we asked to refill our water bottles, they did it with a smile. The daily housekeeping was also a breath of fresh air. In the U.S., daily room service has largely disappeared, so coming back each day to a spotless room, a freshly straightened bed (even with our personal items carefully set aside and placed right back), and replenished coffee and fresh, free water was something I deeply appreciated. The location itself is quaint, safe, and super convenient. We relied heavily on public transportation, which was easily accessible right nearby, and Uber and taxi drivers had no trouble picking us up and dropping us off right out front. Unfortunately, the Scottish weather didn't cooperate enough for us to enjoy the cute outdoor swing and patio area outside the restaurant, though it looked lovely! A couple of helpful tips for fellow U.S. travelers: No elevator or AC

I would definitely return.
