One of my favorite stops this year.

The buffet at the Carvery is loaded with tasty selections that looked so good I had to try a little of everything every time and I was never disappointed. Tender meats and roasted veggies were so good. Lots of shops to walk to in the area and also a bus stop out in front. The staff are friendly and helpful and that lended to the wonderful stay I had there for 3 nights.

There's nothing to not like. What more could ya want; good food, great cocktails, warm room, 15' to the bus stop.

Edinburgh Christmas market weekender

Friendliness of staff and the welcome given. The food was lovely and plenty of choice. Transport into the town centre was also plentiful and right outside the door! Lovely weekend.

The music continuing until 3am on the Sunday night.

Enjoyable

Comfortable bed, room was on the small side as was the bathroom but as you are just sleeping in it, it did not matter. Bathroom was very clean and there was housekeeping each day.

The cooked breakfast was all cooked at the same time I expect. There was lots of it but mostly felt it was all a bit dried up. So did not partake apart from the first morning.

A nice place with good bus lines.

Breakfast, bed, bathroom, room etc were all good and clean. A nice family friendly restaurant with good cooked breakfast. Some shops and restaurants nearby, and buses to the city centre departing just outside the hotel.

The room was very hot during our stay in the middle of the summer because of incredibly good weather.

If we were to go to Edinburgh again it would only be to stay again, have breakfast and lunch.

Toby Carvery is my wife’s favourite restaurant. Breakfast was amazing as always. The room was small and compact but high quality. 10 mins from Edinburgh airport. Room was clean. We advised that it was our 12th anniversary and Angela, created a romantic experience for our room. She was so lovely and even wished us a happy anniversary the next day. All the staff were lovely, including the young lady at the front desk who told us of all the great sights to see in the city. We took her advice and we were so glad we did. she also allowed us to store some of our luggage after checkout whilst we went sightseeing.

5.0 / 10.0

Nice, friendly staff but room was too warm for comfort and was overpriced.

We did not have breakfast there but went to the airport after the one night’s stay. The staff was very helpful holding our luggage early for us since we needed to return our rental car well before checkin time. Another positive note was the king sized bed was comfortable.

The main problem we had was that the room was very hot and stuffy. The window could only be opened a very small amount and there was a very small fan in the room, but it did not move much air at all. When I went to the desk to ask if there was any air con, the young gentleman politely said that there was not due to it being a very old building and he offered to bring a fan up. He did bring a larger fan up right away but the room never did really cool off throughout the night which made it not a restful night. The room was overpriced for what was provided also.

We were in Edinburgh for my son to see Oasis, his favourite band.

The staff are wonderful, Pamela and her team looked after us! The food was amazing (as expected). There is a bus-stop right outside too with buses right into the City, as well as a bus-stop to and from the Airport just down the road.

The only negative was paying an 'Oasis are in town' premium for the room. Everything else was perfect!

Had a very nice stay here, with friendly staff

The location of the hotel was a little far out but very easy to get to with the excellent bus service. The room was lovely and quiet at the back of the hotel, nice big comfy bed, could do with some better pillows they weren’t the best. Good shower. Food was not amazing, have had better at other Toby’s. The staff in the restaurant however were very lovely.

It was very welcoming, staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms were comfortable, clean and well maintained.

3.0 / 10.0

Did not meet expectations

Shower pressure is great and warm so great. The bed was comfortable and linen was clean. Bus stop at the hotel with multiple bus lines bringing you to the city centre in 15-20 minutes.

But; The room was not clean (floor, mirrors, wall etc), teacups were not clean, dust collected on top of things. After complaint, they vacuumed and cleaned some areas, but not everything was clean. The personel was very nice and tried their best to improve the stay. Little to no space to put personal items in the bathroom. Little to no space to put your suitcase. There is a desk with a chair, but you can't sit comfortably behind it because the space between the desk and the bed is too tight. (and I am a thin person). Breakfast has some options, but many is of poor quality. (for example, bacon was dry and tough). Unfortunatly I would recommend to eat out. We asked for a quiet room, but were placed above the car drive-through. We were woken up every morning between 5.30-6 by either trash collection or delivery. Especially the delivery was annoying as it took 30-45 minutes.

Good stay for Edinburgh

It is located on the outskirts of Edinburgh, but since we had a car, it was convenient, as it offered parking, and with the bus, which stops right in front of the hotel, we could easily get to downtown. Key cards allow for easy access for the guests. As it has a restaurant attached, it was convenient to have drinks or dinner right at the guesthouse.

The room was quite small and faced the street. But the traffic at night was not so bad.

8.0 / 10.0

Slightly pricey but good location

The location was convenient for us because there was public transportation just outside the hotel. A bus to the airport also stops on the hotel's street.

To use hotel Wi-Fi, you have to make an account. Breakfast was a choice of Scottish buffet breakfast or continental. It wasn't the best buffet we had but the food was edible. We don't have mobility difficulties but it is worth noting there is no elevator.

Toby Carvery is a good place for a solo traveler with a car.

Toby Carvery was easy to find and had plenty of parking spaces. Check-in was easy.

The bed was very small and had narrow access on one side, while the other had no bedside table as the space was terribly narrow. It was easier to get in and out of bed by climbing up from the bottom of the bed.

9.0 / 10.0

Bloody fantastic

The breakfast was fantastic 😋. As for the location, it was perfect both for the zoo and castle. The bus stop being right outside the property meant didn't have to use my car😁 also as it was a Toby we had no problem with evening meals, what made it even better was the fact the Toby carvery was as it should be - NOT like the Gateshead carvery which was pathetic to put it mildly, only pork or gammon and this was on a Sunday at 6.30 pm and they even had the cheek to charge full price for a third of what should have been on offer - choice of FOUR meats NOT TWO.

Liked it all.🥰

Good for one night, staff are the highlight

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, can't fault them. Food at the attached carvery was just ok the night we went. The bathrooms are nicely renovated and large. Fine for a one night stay but I wouldn't recommend for longer.

The rooms are very small, if you have two people and two big bags you will struggle to squeeze in. Once you need the ironing board, it's almost impossible to move. There is no aircon, they provided a small fan but it doesn't do the job on a warm night. We couldn't leave the window open due to a noisy extractor unit just outside.

A great stay - if we are ever visiting the area again we will definitely rebook.

Great location for the venue we were attending (Murrayfield). The staff were very friendly and helpful and the bonus of having the carvery was the icing on the cake! The rooms were a good size and the beds were very comfortable.

10/10 would definitely stay again!!

The staff were amazing! The lady we saw at breakfast was above and beyond helpful. The room cleaner was really lovely too. The size of the the room as great. It was really spacious and clean. We were just out of the centre for location but with a bus stop straight outside and buses every 5/10mins it was perfect. Lots of places to eat around with lots of shops too.

The only thing I would say was that we had a double bed and a sofa bed in room 104. However the room was so big, another double bed would have been much better. The sofa bed wasn't comfortable at all.

Perfect hotel for last night before flight or first night arriving to airport.

Wonderful location to walk. On transit route to airport and Edinburgh city. Single room was recently updated and perfect size. Meals good and inexpensive. Staff all very friendly.

Price a little high, but was worth it for one night.

A very comfortable stay, room renovated and clean,

The bed was very comfortable,shower great and the room was clean. Parking and a restaurant attached at a reasonable price. Not to far away from centre of Edinburgh, bus just outside or £10 uber ride.

We had an extremely long walk to our room and quite a few stairs. We have a light luggage bag which we transfer clothing in for a night, so it wasn’t bad. It could be tedious if you plan to lug big suitcases ,if your room is at the end of the hotel. Ceiling was low on one side of bed , had to be careful getting out of bed.

Great hotel with easy access to city centre

Amazing location with easy access into the centre. Quick check in process and the room was spotlessly clean. Will use this as a base for future trips to Edinburgh.
