Many guests appreciate the Bruntsfield's location opposite parkland, with a pleasant walk to the city center or Morningside, with plenty of nearby cafes and restaurants. The rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, with great bathrooms; some guests particularly enjoyed the shower. While the restaurant's kitchen might occasionally be closed, the hotel is commended for its recommendations and homely feel, and for some, the walk to the city center can take around 20 minutes.

Excellent Stay with Comfortable Amenities

large roomcomfortable bedusb pointsabsent fridge
The upgraded room provided a large space and attractive decor. I found the king size bed very comfortable for a good night's sleep. The room included quite a few easily accessible USB points. The breakfast had pleasant, helpful staff and a modern eating area.
The absence of a mini bar or fridge was a slight inconvenience , as I prefer fresh milk for tea.

Breakfast service was friendly and efficient , though it can be a bit slow during peak hours. Cooked-to-order options.

central locationexcellent breakfasthelpful staffnoisy roomwedding partyterrible noise
I appreciated the hotel's proximity to various attractions. Many restaurants were within walking distance. The breakfast included cooked-to-order options and the quality was excellent. I also found the staff to be helpful.
Our room was quite noisy. It was near a function room where a wedding party was taking place. I could hear a lot of music and shouting. The noise from the pipes was also terrible. It lasted until midnight and then started again at 6.30 am. with lots of banging and thumping. I complained to reception , but nothing could be done.
