Murrayfield Park Guest House

Arrived at property same time as another guest and he phoned owner who gave us code to get in and let us know we’re to get keys for room. Room was lovely with tea and coffee facilities and comfy bed. Bathroom sink was blocked. Overall nice accommodation and close to bus stop for town.

Not recommended! Solid foundation for its mere 2.6-star. Rooms said to have windows, which is true except the whole room located in basement, looking through the narrow window only thing seen is vehicle plates and wheels. No wifi connection and poor signal for cellular data, ie. no chance to access the internet in your room at all. Light bulb is fixed to the socket by electrical tape. Is this even legitimate in UK? In my country this causes hotel owners fine and even suspension of the business. It is fully understandable that a family business cannot operate key card system. Letting guests collect keys from front desk is proven equivalently effective, unless the manger does not even have a proper knowledge of available keys and rooms. The hotel manager first led me to unlock a checked-in room, until I saw some others’ personal belongings on the floor. Then the manager rearranged me to another room, but there was no key to the room. Letting me wait for 20mins in the hall, the manager arrived and found out that the key has not been returned by the previous guest. Seems that personal safety and privacy are put in risk.

Generally not bad, however there was no WiFi as said in the description.

The room didn't have wifi and poor reception for use of own smart phone. No one on premises to assist. No reception. A little over-priced for such basic level of service. Otherwise, rooms were OK.

What was good: cleanliness, comfortable bed, decent temperature in room, wifi. What was bad: after booking I emailed with a few questions but got no reply. Information said to check in between 1 and 5 but there was no-one there. Another guest who happened to arrive at the same time would have been stuck ashe had no mobile phone. Website said continental breakfast was provided but there was none. This merits a partial refund. Shower temperature was difficult to control and I was nearly scalded. Worst of all, there was no toilet paper either in my en-suite or the shared toilet. I discovered that just in time! I saw no staff at any time during my stay. I will not be back.

Very quiet. Difficult to get in - telephone numbers on unlit door. Radiator in room was off, and the knob removed, so could not be turned on. No water in shower. One toilet out of use

The room was excellent and had all the facilities. It was very clean and well maintained. The whole property. It was easy to get into the centre of Edinburgh by public transport. There were no staff at the property but there were contact numbers so this was a minor issue. I did need to use tge contact numbers and had no difficulty in getting through any get any issue resolved.

This property should not be let out… I can’t say anything positive about Murrayfield Park Guest House. It was a total disappointment and the property presents as nothing like what you see in the photos on the booking site. Look at the photos on this review and let the owners tell you it’s the same property! Disliked · We were put in a room that was in the middle of renovations. The fire alarm was connected after I complained about the wires hanging freely from the ceiling. There were no light fittings. No handle on the bathroom door. No soap dish or toilet roll holder. No TV despite the caretaker promising one would be installed. The room hadn’t been cleaned and the caretaker vacuumed the room and fitted a smoke detector and bathroom door handle when we went out for dinner. As mentioned the room is being renovated. The shower is very small but has the most high tech shower unit I’ve ever seen. It’s so big it sticks out approximately 200mm in a 900mm shower and you knock it washing yourself effecting the water temperature and flow. The person who selected this shower and tap unit failed to consider the small size of the shower. The cleaner was off sick after our first night apparently so there garbage wasn’t emptied and there was no cleaning done nor clean towels provided. The overall property is dirty. There are paint stains on the hallway carpet. The garbage bins out the front were overflowing when we arrived and were not emptied during our 5 day - 4 night stay. There were cigarette butts at the entrance that were ignored and there for the entirety of our stay. There is no provision to leave your bags when you vacate the property to be picked up in the afternoon. This is a very basic service offered everywhere I’ve stayed. The Wi-Fi is so poor it actually says in the foyer Wi-Fi available to most rooms. This property should not have been let out. We were given the opportunity to cancel our booking but were without a car and anywhere else to stay. This property also doesn’t meet fire regulations which are posted on their wall.

Very handy for center. Snd comfortable room. With. Smart tv netflix. Bbc i plsuer.
