Very bad experience!!

4.0 / 10.0

It was very convenient to stay at Twin Lions in terms of location and facilities. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. Thank you for your hospitality.

3.0 / 10.0

Staff were pleasant and helpful but the hotel is badly in need of a complete overhaul! Poor quality mattress, scraped and worn paintwork, mismatched carpets, creaky floors... the list goes on! If it wasn't for its proximity to the airport, no one would choose to stay there!

3.0 / 10.0

The single room was really basic and in need of some serious refurbishing. Also, the rest of the hotel is very dated and is run down.

3.0 / 10.0

Pretty much okay for my needs; I just needed an affordable place on the west side of Edinburgh. Only let downs were the small room and shared bathroom; I suspect they were so keen to fit in as many rooms as possible the didn't want ensuite that would take up spaces.

4.0 / 10.0

This was pricey - over $300. The bed was horrible - you could feel every spring. The room almost certainly had mould. The shower only operated with very cold water. Overall, a big disappointment.

3.0 / 10.0

Owners and staff very friendly and the hotel is in a good location with a bus stop right outside. Hotel decor is very tired and the rooms are very small. Breakfast was average.

6.0 / 10.0

Food service was not available and breakfast was not served that day. Otherwise a quiet and peaceful place to rest.

Nice to have breakfast and parking. In need for an update of the bedding and bathroom.

The location was good with the bus to the City stopping just outside. The hotel was tired and some areas in need of a good clean. Overall very disappointing.

6.0 / 10.0

Good location for rugby, going to airport or into the city. Bus stop right outside the door. Bed linen fresh and clean. Not much else positive to say. Whole B+B (not a hotel) run down and scruffy. Entry door with chipped paint and dirty, car park weedy and old cigarette butts lying around do not give a 1st good impression (my heart sank).Silicone and duct tape holding bits together. Only 1 sachet of coffee. Wet, manky duvet appeared in the bath during the night and still there in the morning. Continental breakfast poor but cooked good. English speaking gentleman at check in but 2 chinese people (while very nice) do breakfast and checkout in the morning with relatively poor English. The Bothy (Murrayfield Hotel) 5-7 minutes walk away nearest for food and drink. I wouldn't stay again.

5.0 / 10.0

The hotel was plain, nothing too exciting or remarkable, but the staff made it a pleasant stay and they were kind. The elderly gentleman who welcomed us made sure we got breakfast at 5am because we had to leave early for a flight.

3.0 / 10.0

Hotel is showing it's age but is Ok for an overnight stay. I slept well and the breakfast was good. Bus stop to Edinburgh right outside

6.0 / 10.0

The property is convenient with bus stop right on the street, but it’s of poor quality without hot water and with very squeaky floors. However the owner is very friendly and the area looks quite safe.

2.0 / 10.0

Hotel is quite run down, shower was a trickle no pressure and took 15 mons to warm up. Tv was smaller than a portable with limited channels. Bathroom was very dusty and the metal shower gel holder was rusty. The toilet seat was broken. Skipped breakfast as was not sure the standard of the kitchen based on the state of of my room. 1 star at best.

2.0 / 10.0

Would never stay there again. Room was so small for two people, no ensuite bathroom.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights during our road trip to Edinburgh. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly, which we appreciated. Having a parking lot was also very convenient. However, there were some issues during our stay. When we entered our room, the heater was off, and the room was quite cold. Although the staff turned it on promptly when we mentioned it, it would have been better if the room was warm upon arrival. The room had a private bathroom, but there were no slippers provided, which was a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the kettle in the room was rusty, so we couldn’t make tea or coffee. At breakfast, since we don’t consume meat products, we were served just one egg and one tomato, which felt insufficient. The packaged products on the table were overly sweet, so we ended up skipping breakfast entirely and decided to leave early the next morning. While the staff were kind and accommodating, I believe the hotel could improve its amenities and breakfast offerings for a better guest experience.

Don’t stay here. Dirty carpet, stink, don’t even know where to start: wad wonder when the bugs where going to start crawling on me.

2.0 / 10.0

Staff was pleasant and transport links were great. However next to a main road which wasn’t great and we gave up using the en-suite as it was causing a lot of noise . The communal toilets also had the same problem but not as bad as they weren’t in the same room as you. The room was very cramped and bed was serviceable but not very comfortable I would stay again , but would avoid the en-suite rooms

8.0 / 10.0

Lovely and helpful staff, nice breakfast included, clean but tired room, great transport connections out front. Needs a little updating but would stay again..

6.0 / 10.0

Hotel needs a little updating, especially, the room carpet which has a strong odor. Good breakfast with friendly staff.

4.0 / 10.0

Place is fine to stay if you’re just using it as a bed or base for going into the city centre/murrayfield. Very easy to get to. The Asian man at the front is very nice and helpful. Only issue I had was the water pressure of the shower, it’s very weak. Aside from that, happy to stay there again

The staff makes the Twin Lions a nice place to stay. Also I made a mistake and book a night for two rooms while by myself and left me homeless for the second night after I arrived, Second night after 4 nights. They accommodated me no questions ask and it was my fault. Next time in Edinburgh I am staying at the Twin Lions. Besides breakfast is good!!!

8.0 / 10.0

Had a good stay. I had the room with my own private bathroom. The room was clean and the hotel itself was nice and quiet so got a good night’s sleep. It’s quite outdated and the bathroom door didn’t have a handle on the inside. A small thing that can easily be rectified. The TV was tiny but I had a good night’s sleep which is the most important thing. Breakfast was really good. The hosts were very nice.

8.0 / 10.0

This property appears to be run by a nice family. They let me check in very early in the morning without additional costs, and when I had to leave prior to breakfast, packed up a nice breakfast to go that I was able to take on the road. The room I was in could use refreshing however, its current state reflected the cost which was very reasonable.

5.0 / 10.0

The staff and owners were very friendly and accommodating! They were the highlight of the establishment. They allowed us to drop off our luggage when our flight arrived early in the morning. Hot breakfast was always provided with friendly service. When our activities required us leaving the hotel before breakfast, they made sure to provide us with fruit, juice, and pastries to go the night before. When we mentioned being cold the first afternoon (since we come from a much warmer climate), they brought a space heater and then made sure to turn on the radiator for us for the evening. The gentleman that manned the front desk in the evenings was always prepared to help with any questions we had about getting around to our destinations the next day. The room was clean, though small. There was very little space to move around. The mattresses could have used a rotation, and the shower showed signs of mold, as well as the shower door not shutting properly. Other than that, the room was well maintained. The rest of the property also seemed well maintained. The area was quiet and there was a bus stop conveniently located in front of the hotel, with the return stop just a few minutes walk down the street. This made getting around fairly easy. It was also a short walk to the Edinburgh zoo!

No hot water. But other than that it was a really nice stay. An old Scottish house, lovely. Hopefully they resolve the hot water issue. We will stay there again
