cleanliness and furnishing and security arrangement.

to make breakfast inclusive of the cost per night.

Overall: I should have known if breakfast was inclusive of the fee per night. Everything else was adequately provided and information about the hotel was easily accessible on the internet.  (2464029)

Very plush room and bathroom with all the trimmings. Informal breakfast in the library was great with friendly staff. Liked the free champange every evening in the informal library.

None

Overall: Worth every penny, Edinbugh is a lovely place. This hotel is a good base to see the city, as well as being a plush establishment with friendly staff to greet you.  (2386232)

The staff were great. It is also easy to drive to from the airport. Good restaurant recommendations.

Dodgy coloured water but apparently it's normal in Edinburgh!

Overall: It was fine, I was also considering the Glasshouse and the Scotsman which on reflection probably have better locations but it suited us ok. I was disappointed that the leisure club didn't have a jacuzzi but the main plus was the friendliness of the staff. Also I would like to have known that it actually wasn't dinner included one night but a rather petty allowance for dinner which didn't even cover my main course!! This should have been made clear.  (1870268)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
