    "Good to see it back to former standards." (108659403)

    Friendliness - I used to stay here many times, and have to say it had gone downhill through former ownerships, now back to how I remembered it.

    van Aberdeen , GB  op  20 mei 2009

    "Conveniently close to where we wanted to be - generally poor." (107936889)

    Friendly and helpful staff Breakfast food was good.

    Very poor rooms - musty smell and room had obvously been used by a smoker. Poor lighting, poor bathroom ventilation and pillows which were diabolical. No telephone in room to contact reception. At breakfast on day one we had our meal immediately after a coach party and the buffet table resembled a bomb site and no effort was made to tidy it up.

    "Looking forward to seeing the Hotel when all the alterations are completed" (107668849)

    Excellent staff. Friendly and very helpful

    Visited at a time of alteration and redecoration and general upheaval. Hope the small problems like fitting light bulbs will be ironed out soon.

    "Would not stay again at 99" (107167717)

    The staff were excellent and very friendly.

    The rooms were very tired, one the roof was falling in, another had no heating, another the bathroom tiles were discusting.

    van Newbury, berkshire , GB  op  9 oktober 2008

    "I could see the changes that have been made, but not always for the better. You really must improve the room lighting, and look again at the breakfast offered. I may or not stay again." (107421308)

    The hotel is comfortable, clean and conveniently close to Edinburgh and the surrounding area. The food, although it has improved, still has weaknesses. The staff are most obliging and courteous. The rooms are comfortable.

    Breakfast - poor. Despite the meths heaters, the food was luke warm - worse than it used to be. The room - desperately needs an arm chair in which to relax, a better TV and MUCH BETTER LIGHTING. Trying to work in such a dimly lit room gave me eye strain.

    "We paid " (97192786)

    Location

    Room very old style and not very clean

  • 3/10 Paul ( Jong paar) 

    van Paisley , GB  op  25 augustus 2008

    "I have in my life stayed in a large number of hotels. I do not feel I am being dishonest to say this was the worst. I would recommend that anyone planning to visit the area avoid the tinto at all costs. " (97084738)

    Female member of staff who checked us in was extremely helpful.

    The hotel was showing signs of age. Room had damp staining on ceiling, shower did not work properly, rubbish left in room from previous guest, some lights not working, TV not tuned in and Windows painted shut. Some, not all staff rude and abrasive. Food basic and either frozen or deep fried, a la carte menu only on friday and saturday. Dinner service poor, I had to give up waiting for a drink and go to the bar myself. Felt rushed out of dining room by staff preparing for breakfast. Breakfast could only be described as disgusting, this is obviously left out prior to 0730 and left in water heated trays.

    "A true Scottish experience! Hotel needs reburbishing but otherwise satisfactory." (97735799)

    Rural location but easy to find. Excellent staff who were very friendly.

    Unfortunately there was a problem with the TV as BBC 1 was unavailable during the Olympics!! Leaking roof seen and poor evening meal although correctly priced.

  • 6/10 Kenneth ( Volwassen paar) 

    van Edinburgh , GB  op  24 juli 2008

    "I was in the Tinto around 20 years ago - it was hard to believe the difference. What a pity. The outside of the building at the back is reminiscent of a slum and the beautiful grounds have been allowed to go to ruin. I feel sorry for the staff, who did their best." (108000323)

    Public areas welcoming, although old fashioned.

    The Tinto has been allowed to fall into disrepair. A lot of money has to be spent in order to bring it up to an acceptable standard eg room carpet substantially stained and burned; decor extremely poor (lots of deep scores on ceiling and walls); debris left unnoticed under bed and shower very tempramental.

  • 6/10 Jennifer ( Groep collega's) 

    van Troon , GB  op  7 juli 2008

    "I think charging " (97597418)

    The staff were very friendly and organised

    The room was very basic and dated. The blankets on top of the bed sheets had several tears in them and looked very shabby. The bathroom was also very tired looking and very dark. There were also flies abour the breakfast room.

    Pleasant suroundings,Friendly helpful staff.Good food and service.

    Although the room was comfortable,it appears to be getting shabby and there are some things that require attention.eg.Decoration,Bathroom fan broken,Shower hose too short,Black algea round bath.

    van Leicester , GB  op  21 maart 2008

    excellent food

  • 7/10 John owen ( Ander) 

    van Frodsham , GB  op  9 maart 2008

    "The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food was excellent and very good value. The hotel was in need of a complete make over. However there were many original features from the Edwardian period which were most impressive and should be retained.The situation is superb but the surrounds of the Hotel are untidy and in need of some care and attention. During our stay on 28th Feb and the following week 6th March there was a change of ownership and this was very evident - the staff were obviously affected. On arrival for our second stay the rates had been increased from £50 per night per room to £80 but these were reduced when we pointed out the change. At £80 per night I would not be prepared to stay in the Hotel in it's present state. However I would eat there at the current prices and the standard of service which was excellent." (97322710)

    The room was comfortable and provided a pleasant overnight stay.

    There were a number of faults in the room - lights did not work, the standard of the bathroom was poor, water was cold , shower could not be controlled,the water seal on the bath was faulty and the edge showed sign of water damage, there was insufficient covers for the bed and the heating was inadequate.

    van Wetherby , GB  op  14 februari 2008

    "Generally a good experience in a location that met my specific requirements. One negative point was that the fruit on the breakfas menu was not available from the buffet I would select this hotel again if my movements required me to stay in this area." (97677719)

    Non standard building with character in a pleasant location. Excellent assistance at reception on arrival

    Difficulty in achieving effective shower - reported on departure and advised that it would be attended to

  • 7/10 Chris ( Familie met jonge kinderen) 

    van Saltcoats , GB  op  18 juli 2007

    "Due to the time of the wedding we needed to book in early which was accomodated although the room wasn't quite ready we could still leave our luggage in the room whilst we went for lunch .... much appreciated. Generally happy with the experience but a few minor issues like the shower control (or lack of it) and the space at breakfast for putting the covers on whilst you select your breakfast, as well as heat resistant tongs to avoid those burns you et when other guests leave the tongs under the cover. Good value for money and staff were great. Thanks, Chris." (97514877)

    Staff were very accomodating

    Impossible to get the shower to a reasonable temperature, water leaking into foyer / reception area ..... obviously not the first time with the water marks on the ceiling

    Friendly staff, lovely setting and grounds.

    A bit dated with decor.

  • 7/10 Roderick ( Ander) 

    van Preston , GB  op  11 juni 2007

    "The general location and surroundings of the hotel were very good. The staff were very pleasant, and servioce was good. The whole hotel had a rather shabby look - unpainted wood around windows. The room itself was OK - comfortable and roomy, but was let down by the bathroom. This was very dated, and the bath did not work very well (see above). A new bathroom suite would work wonders. We were put off dining in the restaurant by an all-pervading smell of chips, so we went out to another restaurant." (99050555)

    Price and location

    Bathroom was rather shabby, and it was not possible to have a shower - the hot water would not divert from the bath to the shower head.

  • 9/10 Kenneth ( Solo zakenreiziger) 

    van Worcester , GB  op  11 juni 2007

    "It would have been nice to know the Hotel holding company had changed hands from Swallow to Oxford Hotels & Inns, although on this occassion it did not effcet the service. However the Hotel is in need of a little TLC, and is in need of a make over by its new owners." (99696753)

    This accommodation was very welcoming and extreamly relaxing. The dinning area was very well presented and the food was excelent, as was the service.

    There were no dislikes.

    Nice surroundings and friendly staff.

    Shower was on a mixer tap so took ages to get temperature control. Bathroom needed upgrading. Small old TV.
