Murrayfield Park Guest House

Bed was comfy Hair dryer and towels provoded Shower was very modern Parking was very convenient Staff were lovely on the phone Price definitly worth it for location Perfect for an overnight stay

Very small TV parking was limited, but when there was space, it was very convenient. Walls were thin, could hear Other People. Speaking at a normal level in their bedrooms

Very surprised how good it was after reading the reviews. Was able to contact them straight away for code to get in! (But when we got back from dinner someone was waiting 2 hours to get in touch) our room was good, clean and comfy bed. Also had no problems with wifi! Great location as bus stop just outside and they come very regularly. Easy to get to airport and back! Pub and shops nearby!

Wasn’t anything we didn’t like!

The room was nice & clean & tidy But Shower didn't work

A working Shower

Within walking distance to Murrayfield

Parking

Bathroom was nice but could not work out how to operate shower , no instructions

Bed uncomfortable. Plugs blown and we told a member of staff and they knew but didn't seem to care. No proper heating, just a plug in radiator. Lock to get in the room was a nightmare! took ages to open the door. Had to buy batteries for the remote for the very tiny TV.

Great location for Murrayfield stadium. Pleasant room , clean enough, warm enough radiator’s came on morning and evening. Bathroom was immaculate (en-suite). Close to bus stop for Edinburgh. No damp like some reviews have said. If you turn right out of the building about a 3 minute walk there is a restaurant called the Bothy, excellent food. A further 5 minutes down the road there is a Tesco express and a couple of nice pubs.

Tired decoration. Main entrance door needs attention, which is a bit off putting. Didn’t like the self check in. Overpriced for the room itself £150 for the night, however I guess supply and demand. Not enough pillows.

Not value for money

Poor facility Showers not working

Location and price.

Separate toilet and the plumbing from other rooms was sometimes a tad loud.

Location. Although more expensive than I would expect to pay at £90 per night, still cheaper than similar properties.

No one available to meet at check in during advertised hours. Called numbers given but no reply. Was waiting outside for 40 minutes before someone returned my call and gave instructions for self check in. Other guests were in similar situation. Plumbing system is extremely noisy. Was woken up whenever anyone used wc or basin. Parking advertised although one car was already parked and no way of getting my car in without blocking it.

The location: great accessibility to the airport and the city centre. We did not find any bed bugs.

Nearly everything else. It was dirty, the bed had stains, there was some mold on the shower head, open electric cables, broken furniture, weird stains in the water kettle, the list goes on... Also no communication, you have to call the owners numbers scribbled on the door in a very shady way. (Dial +44 instead of the 0 when you don't have a local cell plan) See Google Reviews instead of the reviews here for similar experiences.

We had a small, cozy room. It had a small ensuite bathroom. EVERYTHING was clean, meat, worked fine. We heard others not happy with their accomodations, but ours was just fine. Room was #7, back of building. Quiet and had all we needed.

Location good for buses

Couldn't get response re Self checkin. No reply to "Booking contact form". No reply to direct email. No answer to phone listed on website. Terrible at communications. Wall to rooms very thin. Shouting / screaming next door neighbours.

The location is great for exploring Edinburgh and Portobello by bus!

Room was basic just needed a bed to get airport bus early morning. Host was excellent.

Need double glazing could hear every vehicle all night.

Location was on the bus line to the city centre

Extremely uncomfortable beds, pillow 1in thick, broken light hanging off the wall, broken bedhead falling off the wall, switches don’t work, failed to respond to any messages made well in advance through bookings prior to arrival. 2 chipped coffee cups!. A bit of scrappy paper on the front door with numerous phone crossed out of who to contact. Small pokey room.

Very nice and clean, well maintained

One pillow on the bed not enough, toilet seat loose, couldn't reach the window to open it

Good price

Bathroom separate

Nothing- was dirty and bathroom was completely broken. Only good thing was location.

Location

Proximity to Murrayfield Stadium.

I specifically booked this hotel as it was advertised on booking.com as ‘with parking’ and because of its location near Murrayfield Stadium. This CANNOT be advertised as such, there are around 10 guest rooms, I believe, and parking for only 3 vehicles which meant when I arrived I had nowhere to park on the day of a concert at Murrayfield and then spent an extremely stressful hour and a half trying to find somewhere to leave my car that would be safe and not ticketed. Due to this I was delayed arriving at the hotel and there were no staff present, I had been given no prior instructions or communication as to how to locate my room or keys, or even gain entry, luckily an exiting guest let me in to the foyer. I then spent 20 minutes trying to get hold of someone to locate my keys and room and by the time I arrived at the concert I was over 2 hours late and missed the support band. The room itself is very worn, the wardrobe doors are broken off, the bathroom was not clean and the carpet was marked. The bed did appear clean at least, although extremely uncomfortable with the divan base having a very distinct cross-bed support at the halfway point (just level with my hips). The poor state of the room, lack of communication and severely restricted parking facilities mean that the room rate was excessive for the service received. Obviously its closeness to the Stadium is its selling point but to be honest, next time I will either be happy to pay more for somewhere at least half-decent or less for somewhere further away, this was NOT worth the £400 price tag. I very very rarely write reviews but I was incensed by the lack of parking which was my main reason for booking.

Location only. Very close to Murrayfield and bus routes in to the city. It is located on a very busy road however.

There are no staff at the property. No one to welcome you, show you to your room or answer questions. No one answers the door when you ring therefore. You have to call a number scribbled on a dog eared piece of paper on the door (with lots of numbers scribbled out). You check yourself in and out. The proper try is old, tired, lots of doors locked, poorly decorated and dirty. The beds were terrible, really uncomfortable, as were the pillows. Don't expect to sleep much if you stay here. There are no facilities at all, no lounge and no breakfast. It's not a B&B therefore. It's just a bed and a pretty uncomfortable one at that.

Close to Murrayfield stadium

Cost for the night

Convenient location

Did not reply to my email (my phone was not set for calls in UK) advising of our late arrival. Therefore, I was locked out. If it wasn't for a friendly passer-by, I would have spent the night on the porch.

There was no breakfast but the place is good

Nothing

We stayed in room 7 and the other two guests in our group stayed in room 2. Both rooms were thankfully en-suite. Very close to Murrayfield for an event and plenty of places to park in the vicinity. Was a little worried after seeing reviews about bed bugs and dirty rooms however the mattress looked almost brand new, the carpets, en-suites and rooms in general were very clean and our bed was so comfortable. The bed linen felt like it was good quality and the room itself was bright with the added bonus of blackout curtains for sleep.

There were only small things that let the room down. No mattress protector and only one pillow each so had to use a folded up towel. Also one of the bedside lights had no bulb. The room could do with a bit of a spruce up with a fresh lick of paint. Minor issues though for how long we were actually in the room.

Great location, good value and friendly owner.

The rooms could do with a bit of TLC but the bathrooms are excellent and can't complain for the price.

Location for the event we were attending nearby.

Emailed regarding parking(as advertised) but received no reply. Stains on sheet through to mattress. Very expensive for what it offered.

Location next to buses

The facilities are quite poor. The TV is ridiculously small, no WiFi, the toilet seat was broken, the sealing of the shower was half removed and room's mirror also broken. They room did not have regular coffee, just decaf available, also the room's bin was not even empty once during our stay. I didn't even see a staff member at all during all of our stay to discuss any of these inconveniences.

Room was clean

Most of the switches in the room did nothing. There was a wire hanging near one of the plugs. One set of sockets was taped over. The toilet light was infuriating, it would forever turn itself on when no-one was in it making a clicking sound. And if you were in the toilet/shower it would go off every 5 seconds, you'd try and sit still on the bog so it wouldn't turn on and off all the damn time.

It was close to public transport and staff was helpful

A lot of road noise and the stairs were an issue with heavy bags

Location , clean, comfy bed.

Didn’t have private bathroom …. Other people used the toilet …. Maybe have a lock on the door similar to the bedroom… that way no one else could use it!!

The wallpaper close to a Chinese and corner shop

Well the bed was not that safe, TV didn't work and only 14inch anyway, the host never stayed there, the room was clean, only 2 teabags and milk. The place was certainly not worth the cost of £130 for just a bed.

The location was excellent. It’s on the bus route from the airport and a nice walk from there into town.

There were a lot of issues in the room. These included: mould on shower roof, shower didn’t drain well, tap in bathroom leaked, a light fixture in bathroom didn’t work, window didn’t shut properly, inside door lock was broken so couldn’t lock from inside, bed not very comfortable as could feel bed springs, and bedside lamp fixture housing was broken and looked dangerous. Also, entering into the property upon arrival could have been problematic as you need to have phone access, but fortunately we got lucky as there was someone when we arrived.
