Check in was easy and staff friendly. The room was clean. Even though it was a busy night at the pub with the quiz night you couldn’t hear it inside the room. One are for improvement is the check out method. The notice in the room says that if you plan to check out ‘very early’ please let a member of staff know to be told the key box code. In our minds this would around 6 or 7am and so we didn’t ask the staff. When we were ready to check out the next day at 9am there was no one there or anyone to contact and we therefore has to change our plans for the day to wait until after 10am when some staff arrived. Clearer communication on the check out method would have improved our stay.

When I went in Riccarton Inn, there was strong and disgusting smell of urine through my nose into my mind that I at once thought I have to leave there immediately, even though I sleep in car all night long and waste my rental money. I hope they would improve after reading my review. (No malice)

There's a bus stop outside with regular service to the centre. The rooms are big enough for a long weekend break with standard facilities. They offer food and drink which is very nice

The riccarton inn is an old style coaching inn...it is cosy and full of character...the food is delicious. The rooms are clean but basic. They have en suite facilities...tea and coffee making facilities and a TV. The bed has cotton linen on it and they provide towels. It is ideally located on a main bus route into the city centre only 20-25 mins away. They don't provide breakfast but the room itself was only £58 for an overnight stay which is great value for Edinburgh. We had a comfortable night's sleep and would recommend this accomodation for any occasion.

The room and bathroom were large enough to move about. The towels and bedding were top notch! Hazel and her staff were wonderful! The bus stop in front of the building was a very convenient and economical way to go into the city center. We would return in a heartbeat!
