Murrayfield Park Guest House, Edinburgh

Nice place to stay in...

Liked: Location
Disliked: Very bad Wi-Fi

Passable

Liked: Not a lot really
Disliked: We were on a basement floor and it was stuffy. It felt more like an establishment for down and outs rather than fee paying guests. For the same price we had other stays much nicer with staff available and we got breakfast.

No bathroom or wifi

Liked: It was clean
Disliked: I was supposed to have a private bathroom but it was outside my room and without a lock so other people could and did use it. No water was coming out of the shower. The bathroom radiator could not be turned off. There was no wifi.

Exceptional

The staff member I met...

Liked: It was quiet and comfortable. You could make tea and coffee in your room and it had a TV.
Disliked: The toilet and bathroom were separate.

Good place to stay according...

Liked: The location was very good, easy to travel to the airport and the city center, very close to the bus stop.Friendly staff, the quiet place.

Exceptional

Good location and great value...

Liked: The check in was efficient and a lovely chap who gave us all the information we needed on transport etc .
Disliked: No WiFi in our room so had to go upstairs to get it.

Decent value no frills stay

Liked: Hallway and reception are were a bit ramshackle and untidy, but my room was tidy and clean and the private bathroom was fine. The staff member Sol was probably theccheeriest man on the planet which makes a big difference to me. For £59, I got what I expected. Not bad!
Disliked: It was room only. Hall and reception could have been more welcoming spaces, but it was value for money and a good location.

Mixed Impressions: Comfort Meets Convenience...

Liked: The location of the hotel is excellent, conveniently close to public transport, making it easy to explore the city. It's evident that the rooms are being updated, which provides a unique experience almost like staying in a friend’s home that is under renovation. The mattresses are particularly comfortable.
Disliked: Unfortunately, our room was situated in a semi-basement with no internet connectivity. A staff member informed us that the Wi-Fi signal couldn't reach our room and suggested using the internet in the lobby, which was cluttered with debris from cleaning activities at the time. Reliable internet is essential, especially when cell service is non-existent in the basement. Furthermore, the room seemed partially refurbished with exposed electrical sockets, an outdated and unclean wardrobe, and a dirty towel found in the bathroom drawer.This hotel might be suitable for a brief overnight stay, but I would hesitate to recommend it for a longer visit due to the issues noted.
