Great service and breakfast

The service that was offered was above and beyond most hotels I’ve stayed at. The breakfast was phenomenal and the kindness of the staff to understand our situation of checking in on New Years Eve was tremendous for us. As we were in a small bind of finding a place after ours was canceled. Thank you Rosslyn Hotel and staff!

The location in Roslin is nice, and not too far outside Edinburgh. The food in the restaurant was very good. The property is pretty old and could use some work, but it does have some character. The staff was friendly and the restaurant service was very good. The breakfast was pretty good as well. Overall, the price was a little high for what you get.

Le foto e il sito non sono reali

Pessimo e orribile! Fatiscente, muffa alle pareti che sono anche scrostate, personale rozzo, per finire cibo al buffet ammuffito! Sembra un racconto horror, ma realtà purtroppo

Comfortable and friendly.

For the amount we paid for B & B we were rather unhappy with the size of our room and the housekeeping. (Cobwebs, cracked basin, stained carpet).

Traditionsreiches Inn in gutem Zustand

Uraltes Inn mit Flair, renoviert. Angeschlossenes "Gastropub", sehr gemuetlich - man kann mit Kindern unter 18 auch nach 20 Uhr da sein, was in Schottland gar nicht so einfach ist. Essen OK.

Endroit agréable

J’ai séjourné à cet établissement pour une nuit. J’ai visité Roslin Chapel qui est tout près. Visite très intéressante. L’établissement n’est pas jeune mais a du caractère. L’accueil est chaleureux et sympathique. Les indications sont claires et précises sur le fonctionnement de l’etab Et des repas servi. Le gastro pub est à voir et à essayer. Les repas sont copieux et excellents. Très belle soirée. L’endroit n’est pas récent mais il offre en. contrepartie plusieurs avantages.

Nice hotel with bus stop to Edinburgh

Only stayed a couple of nights but they were great. Good full breakfast. The pub is split with one quieter side with evening dining separate from the main pub section. Friendly, helpful staff, nice layout and good beer! :)

Over priced

Over priced for what it is. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Room noisey as people turned in but quiet later on. If it was 80 rather than over 100 may stay again.
