We stayed at the Riccarton Inn for three nights in July as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Free Company.  After originally booking a city centre hotel we decided to look at something a little closer and found The Riccarton which looked to be nearby, with nice rooms and at a good price. Before booking we contacted the venue via FaceBook to see if there were any room suggestions and we were told that rooms 1, 2 & 5 are double rooms but they suggested room 1 as the best pick out of the three if it was available…… it was, so we booked it. Getting to the venue was relatively easy, it was a 15 ish minute walk from Currie Hill train station although the majority was uphill so probably not the best route to take if you have reduced mobility.  There is a bus stop just over the road from the venue and if you catch the 44 from the city centre it drops you right there (the bus stop right outside the venue, i.e. on the same side of the road, takes you back into the centre on the 44 bus.  Buses are easy with TapTapCap so you can use your debit / credit card or device (always use the same card or device to make sure the cap applies).  A single journey is £1.80 and it caps at £4.40 for a full days travel.  We said that the next time we stay at the venue we’d definitely finish our journey on the bus instead of the train.  Oh, the venue is also on the N44 route which is the night bus service, ideal if you go out for a few drinks and it saves on taxis.  There are a few different local taxi services as well as Uber, the couple of times we used a taxi we did use Uber in the end as they were actually cheaper and we found them a little more reliable. Check in was really simple, we didn’t prepay but the cost of the room was charged to the card we booked with on the morning before we arrived.  All we needed to do was pop a signature onto the booking confirmation at the bar and we were handed our keys, one for the main door to the venue (it gets locked at midnight so you can let yourself in) and one to the room.  We didn’t pre-request breakfast but we decided to add it on for two of the mornings and paid for it at the bar…….. I would highly recommend the breakfast, at £8.95 per person it is most definitely worth it (more on that later). The room itself (room 1) was a decent size, it had a very comfortable bed, a built-in closet and plenty of drawer space.  The en-suite bathroom had a good size bath with over bath power shower, toilet and wash basin… again all spotlessly clean.  The towels were really fluffy and properly dried you instead of just moving the water around which is always a good plus.  At night the room did get a little warm but as long as you don’t mind your window open and you leave the bathroom door and window open you do cool down a little.  There are tea/coffee making facilities in the room and a hairdryer is also provided.  The WiFi code is provided on a welcome card which we found in one of the drawers in the desk.

Rimasto qui prima di raccogliere gli ospiti da Edimburgo. E' la casa più sorprendente, credo George Gillespie l'abbia costruita per sua madre negli anni 1790 (?) e tu stai vivendo in una casa di famiglia, con i mobili più sorprendenti, libri, ornamenti ecletici, ma con tutti i comfort di casa. Il mio letto grande, alto nella mia stanza, mi sentivo come una principessa che stava salendo in essa, e mi svegliava in modo meraviglioso, svegliandosi verso gli uccelli. La colazione era in una bella stanza, perfettamente posata, una grande scelta di cereali, frutta fresca, e il colazione cucinata era perfetta. Era una passeggiata facile a Colinton, dieci minuti, e immagino che sia facile arrivare a Edimburgo. I piccoli porti per entrare nella proprietà, non volevo tentare il destino cercando di ottenere il mio furgone attraverso di loro, ma molto di parcheggio sulla strada fuori. L’ospite, il cui nome non mi è stato dato, era un gentiluomo, vorrei solo avere più tempo per parlare con lui della storia della casa. Dieci minuti a piedi per vedere il tunnel di Colinton, il più lungo muro scozzese, ben vale la pena di visitare. Si raccomanda assolutamente di rimanere qui, è bella con un bellissimo pupaccio e un gatto che mi ha ignorato ;) pulito, tranquillo, e stai rimanendo in una casa storica che vorrei avere più tempo per esplorare, soprattutto tutti i libri.

Non è molto lontano dal centro della città, non è molto conveniente, non c'è supermercato e ristorante vicino. Sento di vivere nella selvaggina di Liu Mountain. L'hotel non ha ascensore per trasportare i bagagli molto deliziosi, la colazione è molto ricco, ma la qualità del caffè è scarsa, la cena è buona e l'atteggiamento di servizio è generalmente.

Il castello è sorprendente che si passi indietro in tempo.. Riempito di belle decorazioni e antiche da giorni passati.. Questo luogo è molto autentico, bellissime camere, letti confortevoli, molto puliti.. Il servizio clienti eccellente e il ricevitore era molto obbligatorio, ci ha camminato verso la nostra stanza, il ristorante. Ci ha dato un tour e ci ha raccontato tutta la storia. Il ristorante aveva un'atmosfera sorprendente, messo nelle cantine sotto il castello. Il pranzo era eccellente e ben presentato. La colazione è stata anche servita con molte scelte sul menu.. Ci siamo davvero goditi il nostro soggiorno di due notti e consiglierei molto di soggiornare in questo ambiente storico..

La salubrità della stanza è super buona, l'apparecchiatura è completa, abbiamo i bambini, non c'è alcun disagio, e il proprietario è particolarmente amichevole. Ci aiutiamo a cambiare contanti, tornare a ricevere e spiegarci l'edificio della città. In breve, un viaggio molto prezioso. Lode 👍 Alla fine ci spedisce personalmente al fuoco per il proprietario Stazione

Buoni standard Marriott standard. Le camere hanno sicuramente bisogno di un po' di lavoro e gli standard di pulizia devono essere conformi agli standard Marriott.

I booked a deluxe room through booking at this hotel based on the photos that advertised it and trusting in the good reviews of The Lane Hotel. Unfortunately, upon arrival I realized that I had made a mistake. To begin with its location is very far from the center, in a neighborhood without any attraction, which forces you to depend on the bus for everything. To continue, there is no reception, we were attended by a waitress from the pub on the corner who had my name written down on a piece of paper. To leave the luggage, since the room was not ready, we had to accompany her across a courtyard, to another building where she opened a storage room for us. Once it was time to check in we were escorted to a house on the same street, which is located next to the parking lot of the pub. My surprise was that the supposed deluxe room I had booked was the first room I entered through the door leading to the house. This meant noise and zero privacy every time other guests entered or left. The room on the first floor with 3 windows, one of them overlooking a wall just 5 cm away, did not look like the one in the pictures I had booked, no free-standing bathtub, no king size bed, nothing at all, so I asked the employee to confirm that it was the right room and she replied that ”of course it was, in fact it was one of their best rooms”. Analyzing the space, we have been able to know that the room in the ad is a ”suite”. a new room category that did not exist when I booked, which in fact is not even in that building, but just above the pub on the corner. It was all extremely disappointing because it was a couples trip and I felt ripped off. I had asked for a quiet room and they gave us the worst in this respect, I asked for top floor and they gave me the ground floor, and neither the cleanliness, nor the dimensions, nor the decoration corresponded to what I had contracted. I asked for a couple of extra pillows and they left one on the fire extinguisher next to the entrance door through which everyone passed. They advertise themselves as a boutique hotel and they are not at all, neither in the professionalism of their staff, nor in the facilities (which are nonexistent) or any kind of detail to the guests. The mattress was too soft, the amenities were poor and of different brands, etc. In short, terrible value for money and a terrible experience. I am very surprised by the high marks given to this accommodation, although after analyzing them, most of those who give them a high score have only reviewed this accommodation, at least suspicious. Mi pareja reservó con ilusión y con más de un mes de antelación una habitación deluxe para una fecha especial en nuestro segundo viaje a Edimburgo y ha sido una experiencia super decepcionante. No comprendemos las buenas opiniones de otros viajeros, pero seguro que no les asignaron la Glass room como a nosotros. Pedimos una habitación tranquila y nos dieron la de al lado de la puerta de entrada en la planta baja con 3 ventan
