Braids Hill Hotel is a lovely old property but is tired and requires a new lease of life. The breakfast was very basic considering today’s choices. Very little bread choices and continental selection. Staff were very kind and helpful. Room nice and clean, decor requires upgrading. Nice and spacious. Probably over priced with Edinburgh Fringe in full swing.

Lee- Anne, Anjuli and Nisha made the entire four day stay truly memorable. They offered incredible service and were extremely kind and helpful. We loved the location, just out of the way of Old Town but close enough to all the sights by bus (right outside the hotel). We especially enjoyed the dinner menu as it catered perfectly to vegetarians with a great selection of vegan meals as well. Our room had a lovely view and we had a wonderful experience.
