Claire (young couple)

Guest Score 5 out of 10
Fair
The room was spacious, modern with a comfy bed and a very good ensuite. The location by the Meadows was lovely as it was outside the main city centre but within easy reach of the centre on foot or by bus. The welcome staff were helpful and made you feel welcome when you arrived. Some good restaurants in easy reach.
Our stay was not good as the room was in the front over the bar and outside seating. There was an extended licence every night for the four nights of our stay so there was constant noise and we did not get to sleep until past one 1am every night.
The food was general pub food and we only ate there on the night we arrived. The breakfast was particularly disappointing as it was completely inflexible with no choice of cereals or fruit, only porridge or granola. It was not possible to deviate from the set combination on the menu and on one day in particular, my husband requested a reduced cooked breakfast and it came with everything and he was told he had to have everything even if he didn't want it.
Parking was difficult and our car was parked some four streets away where the charge was slightly less. Parking is via an app.

Lovely hotel - great decor, good facilities and friendly staff. The bar/restaurant was a lively place with a real buzz about it. Food was good too. Location was ideal for us - tho it isn’t in the centre of the city.
The shower in room 101 needs attention. This was reported and I’m sure it’ll have been fixed.

Room size, location friendly staff
Could not cool the room
Portions at dinner are far too small for the price
We sat at the terrace for a drink for 20 minutes and no body came to serve despite hand raising for attention

I loved the location of Black Ivy in the centre of the vibrant heart of Bruntsfield and being opposite the park.

The location worked great for us because it was not right in the center of town but close enough and easy enough to get anywhere.
The room was beautiful! We loved the large room with high ceilings and the wonderful view of the park. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the hotel was beautiful and the food and drinks were great.
Noise from the patio is audible in the park facing rooms. Mostly it was fine but Saturday night was loud with a group leaving a party that hung around outside at 1 am making a lot of noise.

Room was small but comfortable. nice restaurant and bar downstairs, serving local and international fare. staff's very kind and attentive. beautiful park right outside. neighbourhood is quiet and seems safe, and only about 20 min walk away from the city centre.

The rooms were fantastic, super cosy and comfy and also huge for the price.
We needed to be up and out early in the morning and the staff organised a early cooked breakfast for us on both days which was really kind.
Beautiful location next to the park too, we walked into town each day which was lovely.
Thanks again for everything!!!

Near wonderful park and amenities. Large room. Staff helpful when asked.
Not really a four-star hotel, rather, it is some back-end rooms attached to a trendy bar and eatery. Therefore, no public lobby or other rooms; a bar and restaurant do not qualify. Overpriced for what it is. The numerous pictures and other fake-boutique elements are annoying because they are all so cheap and there is no love shown in the concepts or their execution. The stock pictures are attached with front-showing screws, fresh from Ikea. Junky advertisements piled up in bathroom; again, no love.

The room was very spacious, good decor and well kept.
Hotel was in a good location.
The room had no refrigerator.
TV had poor selection of channels and was dated on terms of the features and no apps.
