Boreland Lodge Hotel

Wonderfull place to stay, clean, comfortable, beautifull suite for the whole family with a privete living room in the garden. Weather was wonderfull so could enjoy the living room. The staff are wonderull. I will go back for sure. Thank you Boreland Lodge

Would not stay here, even if they offered me a free week. Checked in staff looked disappointed that we interupted her film. Room was freezing so we advised the staff of this and her reaponse? 'Yea, it would be, as they've not been on.' So she offered us a heater, as the heating doesn't come on till 2000hrs!! Never heard of that before, and her response before giving us the heater??? 'You can have this, but I'm not sure if it works!!' Had to laugh at myself. Bedroom, was filthy, toilet/bathroom was full of dust, and dirt, as for the beddding again sheets was horrible full of marks and stains. All in all my recommendation is to stay on the streets, it would be cleaner and warmer. As we checked out, the staff asked was our stay a good one, I said no, and told him everything above, and all he said was sorry, and to have a good day!! So for the price is not worth it. Find somewhere else to stay, bsst advice I can give to anyone.

adequate to requirement..............................................................

Lovely stay staff friendly and helpful

Being two women traveling together, we did not feel safe staying at this hotel. The room we were in had not been painted nor cleaned in a very long time. The shower had mold on the walls. We had pre-paid for the room and we lasted several hours before we decided that we couldn't stay overnight. We left and found a much better room. Do not be drawn in by the affordable cost for a room. It's definitely not worth the cost no matter what the price!

The advantage of this hotel is that the train station is close

My elderly father stayed here when he came from London to visit a friend in hospital in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh area was booked up as the Edinburgh Festival was on. However, Boreland Lodge is conveniently located 5 min walk from the station for buses and trains to Edinburgh (and Glasgow and Dundee). The staff went that extra mile to be friendly and even gave him a lift to Edinburgh on his first day. A continental breakfast was provided but my father soon found a pub in the main high street by the taxi rank which sold an excellent cooked breakfast. Other guests were a mix of tourists and construction workers. The atmosphere was relaxed with the guys watching football on telly in the bar and enjoying a pint - right up the old mans street.

Think the guys name was Simon? On reception very kindly offered to go to the post office & post my new phone on to me when it arrived at the hotel a day later. Lady on reception was very helpful too in letting me check out later at mo extra charge :)

Not sure what year the photos were taken but the place looks nothing like that anymore, run down and not very clean we even found hair in the bed, bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. It was cheap so I guess you get what you pay for.

Very well managed, very friendly and helpful. Close to the airport, no traffic problems. Easy to locate. Within walking distance to public transport if you don't want to drive into Edinburgh. Nice to drive over bridge and see the the other two bridges - super!
