Top Scottish Mining Museum Hotel Reviews

Dalhousie Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Place was spotless and staff are very polite"

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The welcome by the receptionist Anand was 5 star and above, welcoming and informative, exactly what you need after a long journey,took the time to answer all my questions and nothing was to much for her, a 5 star employee"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"Clean room, well behaved staff, good amenities. My room was very spacious with a reasonable price. Breakfast was really good served with hot and cold drinks."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel so much!! Everyone was so incredibly kind and the room and bathroom were so nice! Location was absolutely perfect. Very central and you can literally see the castle from out front!"

The Sun Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay in a gorgeous room with a lovely private outdoor space."

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were in the separate guest building and had no real issues! Room was clean and building was clean! We had no breakfast at the location and parking. Was right next to building!interaction with staff was limited to check in only!"

Melville Castle

8/10 Good

"Most of the staff were lovely and went out of their way to accommodate requests or needs. Service for meals was fairly slow, so plan accordingly. Food quality and temperatures should definitely be I Improved. While the property was lovely, the furnishings were a bit shabby and worn down. It wouldn’t take much to raise the standard and impression. Finally, the write ups and marketing should be more truthful about what can be seen on property and how authentic the current building truly is. Those looking for royalty to have stayed at the ‘castle’ will be let down."

Aynetree Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Greeted very warmly upon arrival, the room itself was spotlessly clean and fairly large with a very modern ensuite. The owner was very kind and personable. We really enjoyed staying here, the property is lovely and well maintained. The location is ideal, very closely located to shops, as well as the beach. The bus stop into the city centre is located right outside the property making it very easily accessible. Would definitely recommend others to stay here, thank you!"

Northumberland Hotel

8/10 Good

"El hotel es una casa vieja asi que no esperen algo muy fino pero fue aceptable La recepcion esta abierta solo como de 3 a 6pm"
