Guest Reviews
- Ian (10/5): - The hotel has a large car park. The rooms were clean and warm. The hotel was taylored more for eating. The meals were excellent and the bar closed early after meals were finished. There were no casual bar customers. Pleanty of bars close by. The area was very safe and comfortable to walk around at any time..Nice friendly staff.
- Robert (8/5): - Overall very good
- Charles (10/5): - Wonderful hotel. Friendly staff, very helpful, perfect room and superb food!
- John (10/5): - The staff
- Ernest (10/5): - Loved the secluded location, and the ambiance of the hotel
- David (10/5): Perfect hotel - A really well run hotel and a pleasure to stay in. We overnighted on our way back from a tour in Scotland and were very impressed it outshone other hotels on our trip and was great value for money. The food offerings were really good too. We will definitely return.
- Kimberly (10/5): - Lovely hotel
- Noel (8/5): - The food is first class; the staff friendly and the room clean abd comfortable. B&B rate is a little higher than comparable hotels. Obviously you can expect traffic noise if you are at the front of the hotel being in the market square facing a road but we were woken very early by delivery men playing very loud rhythmic dance music from their lorry cabs. Hotel manager needs to speak with regular drivers about respect for sleeping guests. Lorry noise ok but NOT loud music.
- Lesli (8/5): - Friendly and helpful staff
- Hugh (10/5): I'll stay at this Melrose hotel again. - Everything was good at the hotel, the facilities in the room, nice tea tray, spotless bathroom good shower with easy temperature and flow controls (no problem with wet hands), bed really comfortable.

My suitcase was carried up to our room - which was very much appreciated. We enjoyed a tasty evening meal & hearty breakfast which ensured an excellent start to our hike. The team were attentive & nothing was too much trouble. I’d recommend Burts to anyone & would happily stay again. Thank you team Burt’s for a lovely nights stay!

- Jennifer (8/5): - The food in the Bistro Bar was very tasty. The beds were comfortable and the room was a good size. A request to change the bed configuration was dealt with swiftly.

- Robert (8/5): - Centrally located hotel in Melrose with own car park. Staff were exceptional and the food was very good. The room was on the second floor but with no lift could be difficult if less able. There was no view from the room and the shower was over the bath. Bed was comfortable and large in this executive room with king bed.
- Jacqueline (8/5): - The hotel was very convenient on the square but , unfortunately , Saturday night was noisy with exuberant youngsters having a great time revving cars and shouting ., The staff were lovely and did their best to help and please . However, the restaurant was very much in need of more staff . One overworked waitress ( who was excellent) on our first night , and the same lovely lady with a bit of help on the second wasn’t enough to give the lovely food and higher prices the 5 stars they deserved. The decor in the bedroom was very dull - khaki walls and buff coloured carpet needed brightening up a little - but that is nitpicking ! The bed was large and comfy with spotless sheets and duvet etc. Plenty of towels in the bathroom but toiletries in short supply - no shower cap , and only one small shower gel and one small shampoo for the two of us for 2 nights . The bathroom was large but really needed refurbishing as taps, tiles and shower were somewhat outdated. Breakfast was excellent and served piping hot by pleasant waitresses - none of the usual buffet stuff ! All in all a good place to stay but a few alterations could make it excellent all round.
- Denise (8/5): - Burts Hotel is right in the middle of Melrose and with dedicated parking is an excellent choice. Although on the main road, it's not that noisy and doesn't disturb during the night. There is very little disabled parking available in Melrose, so speak to the manager if close access is required. The food was lovely both at breakfast and evening meal, although for a pub/restaurant it was overpriced. It does book up very quickly, so reservations needed, but there are lots of other places around for all budgets. The room was a decent size, but the drawers in the units smelt very musty inside, so we didn't use them. The wardrobe though had plenty of storage. The room did look dated but that was only on the surface. The bathroom was modern with nice tiling and a good shower. Unfortunately there wasn't sufficient toiletries for two people, but you can always ask the staff. The wifi though was very poor so we used data. Overall a lovely stay, and I would go back there again.
- Jacqueline (10/5): - Staff and food were amazing
- Roger (8/5): - Burts Hotel is a very nice traditional hotel in the lovely town of Melrose. A bit old fashioned but nothing wrong with that. The menu is a bit limited but the food on offer is good. All in all, very strongly recommended.
- Benita (10/5): - Good location, quite spot and very comfortable bed.
- Suzanne (8/5): - Great location Good evening meal Excellent staff
- Benita (10/5): - Great location, nicely decorated, helpful staff
- carol (6/5): - The hotel is a solid 3 star hotel. Unfortunately the first night kids were partying until 3 am right outside our window. The room does not have AC. So it was hot but we requested a fan and they did give us a fan.
- Suzette (10/5): - It's a wonderful place to stay. Great food, great people, beautiful gardens to visit.
- Alice (10/5): - Liked the hotel, friendly staff, the town, the historic area etc. But husband and I have come down with Covid since we left on Sunday both falling ill Sunday night. Where we picked it up we have no idea but as we visited several interesting tourist spots around Melrose area we hope we are just unlucky and all goes well with Melrose town for the rest of the season.
- Lynda (10/5): Lovely stay - Lovely stay in small hotel. Friendly attentive staff.
- Lynda (10/5): - Had a lovely stay here with our dog to celebrate my birthday. Enjoyed drinks outside in the sunny garden and had some lovely food, and was made most welcome by the staff . Only sorry we weren’t able to enjoy the benefits of the inviting dining room but fully understand no dogs . ( maybe another time) Would definitely return . Thank you.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel, perfect location - Beautiful room in a lovely town. Excellent food and superb service. Also offered charging place for our EV rental car. We enjoyed our stay very much!
- James (6/5): - The bar food was excellent, hot, tasty and reasonably priced. The lunchtime bar food was excellent as was the service from the young man in charge. The evening meal was also delicious, however, we ordered a drink and it never arrived, I had to ask twice again! Breakfast was the same, excellent food, poor service and having to ask twice for orange juice. At checkout we had to wait almost fifteen minutes for someone to appear, eventually I had to go and seek out a staff member. I was less than happy at the explanation received for the absence. Surely the reception should be covered when checkouts are taking place. When I voiced an opinion regarding the poor service both staff members became very defensive and were reluctant to take my points on board. Overall, poor service from some but still a very clean Hotel with good food and decent parking.
- Stewart (8/5): - Just perfect
- Rhonda (10/5): Perfect stay in Melrose - Amazing hotel. Fabulous food in the restaurant.

- Andy (10/5): Great Hotel in Melrose - Nice hotel with good food, and a lovely bar and restaurant.
- Gavin (10/5): - The staff were friendly and efficient and the breakfast poached eggs were perfect.
- Isobel (8/5): - Clean, excellent breakfast. I was at the front of the hotel, i would imagine it would be very noisy at the weekends.
- Rachel (10/5): Perfect weekend getaway hotel - We decided past the last minute to get away for the weekend and couldn’t have found a better hotel. The location was perfect, so close to the abbey and great for walking around Melrose. Within 20 minutes of booking they called us regarding dinner reservations as it was a busy Saturday night to make sure we’d get into the restaurant or bistro which we thought was excellent service. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We loved the decor and ambiance in the dining room and the food was divine, we ate in the bistro the next night which was also fabulous but be careful of the huge portion sizes! Our room was small but very cosy and had a wonderful shower. This is a lovely hotel, full of charm and character, we’ll definitely be returning.
- Chris (8/5): - Our table top in the bar area felt very 'sticky' when touched as did the salt and pepper holders. Could do with a good wash. Found it difficult to navigate the channels/programmes on the TV in our bedroom. Staff pleasant and attentive. Would stay at Burts again.
- Laura (8/5): - Lovely hotel! My room was well presented and clean. The shower was excellence which I feel is important when staying in a hotel. Staff were nice and the food was really good. Overall good experience and would recommend it 🙂
- Nigel (10/5): Short stay for a holiday break - We stayed for two nights on the way home from Pitlochry. It was a lovely room with a large bed which for me as a 6 foot 6 inch tall man was a bonus. Cleanliness and covid safety were excellent. We ate in the bar both nights and the food was restaurant quality and excellent. The breakfasts were amazing and beautifully cooked. I would thoroughly recommended this hotel.
- Kim (10/5): - A warm and welcoming hotel. From the staff to the bedroom to the food - it was all perfect
- Cyril (10/5): - My once a year visit was as always excellent which has been the same over the many many years I've had the pleasure of staying at "Burts Hotel"
- Angela (8/5): - We chose Burts Hotel to stay over and meet family for dinner, as we'd heard that the food was excellent and it certainly was! From the moment we arrived, we felt very comfortable and nothing was too much for the extremely friendly staff. The only slight downside, was that our bedroom was a bit on the small side and there was nothing to place our luggage on. Having said that, the power shower was fantastic and very spacious. All in all, we had a very lovely stopover, and would recommend the hotel for any kind of stay, as it's perfectly located in the historical and pretty town centre, with free parking and some lovely river walks nearby.
- Graham (10/5): - Hurts was welcoming and friendly as ever. Staff were great as was the food and decor. All very satisfactory and not bad value for money.
- Graham (10/5): Pity it was only one night. - Excellent stay. Lovely room. Staff very helpful. Highly recommended.
- Daniel Neil (10/5): Exploring the Borders - My wife and I stayed only one night early Sept 2021 ,the hotel staff were very welcoming ,friendly and helpful .The hotel was spotless and the food was excellent ,the bed was comfortable and bedroom spacious and bright As our trip was to visit Melrose (our first time) we would definitely use Burt’s as a base for exploring other towns in the Border area
