Unhappy stay
The pictures on the web site are not up to date. The bathroom was dirty, floor, tiles al needed cleaning. The room had a horrible smell. The cupboard in the bathroom was falling apart. We didn’t use the bathroom. The bed was horrible and the quilt was dirty, the headboard was falling off the wall. Nothing was nice about it. The breakfast as a mess, no cutlery, glasses and what we did have was dirty. The table was sticky I think more staff is needed at this hotel and some modernisation is required. We will not be coming back.

Non standard hotel with a soul
This is very different to chain hotels which are usually emasculate, but have little soul. Brooks is run by a dedicated, energetic team of young professional people. The bedroom, lounge and restaurant are well maintained and comfortable. There was a wide range of food available. On the first day I ordered Eggs Benedict, it arrived, very well prepared within 4 minutes. The second day smoked salmon and scrambled egg appeared with same efficiency. This is not Hampton by Hilton or Premier but very good value in Edinburgh where accommodation prices are very high. Highly recommended!

Absolutely nothing. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I had a man enter my room at 6 o’clock in the morning After not having power or heat in the room. Do not stay here!

I stayed here two nights with my friend and we really liked the room. It was cute and clean and the staff was kind and helpful even when we needed help with a few things. It is an older place so everything wasn't brand new (I've seen a few reviews about it being old and gross) but my room was lovely and I had no problems with the condition or cleanliness of anything. Breakfast was ok, it was nice it was cooked to order but it took a while but they had a few options if you were in a rush. I would stay here again

Despite some really bad reviews, we had a pleasant enough stay at the Brooks hotel. The staff were friendly and always responded to feedback, for example they had run out of brown bread at breakfast and then the next day it was available. Note that a breakfast slot time is booked on arrival but there is a wide choice. Breakfast itself was good with a choice of a cooked plate as well as continental buffet selection. The hotel was conveniently placed for access to the airport (no more than 10mis walk from bus/tram). It was also about 20 mins walk to the Grassmarket area. Other comments - the room itself was clean enough, but the mattress was too soft and needed replacement; the shower door in bathroom did not close properly.

Meh. There’s a reason they’re non-refundable. When you get there you won’t want to stay so they give you no choice. Cancelled flights delayed us a day and they ignored messages in response informing and asking for accommodations (while responding to others).

Fine - 3 stars is 3 stars
The room was freezing unless you put the radiator on, which was then too warm to sleep with and had a very bright light on it. Single glazed windows with construction right outside that started at 8am on the dot. Stained carpet and ripped duvet. Also no phone in the room to call reception. However the shower was big and modern/powerful, the bed was also big and very comfy and the breakfast was tasty. Staff are nice and helpful. Free WiFi. Definitely a 3 star hotel.

Staff at reception were very nice and said 24 hour reception staff. We left our key when we went out but no one on reception when we got back. Rang bell for attention several times. In the end had to go to the cupboard where I saw they kept the keys and had to take my key out. Bed a bit uncomfortable. On the plus side breakfast was very good with good service.
