Firstly I must say that the restaurant staff were fantastic and helpful. we were in the castle room my wife I and 2 children.the price was a bit on the high side for the room.the room it's self was in need of upgrading as too was the wing of that hotel and in need of overhaul.you could also smell the kitchens throughout the wing.and in our room. Food was poor and of low standard against price. Would we stay there again, no afraid not better out there, the grounds are stunning and the staff are brilliant but the castle it's self lets them all down. Iain.

Wonderfully relaxing, staff friendly food fantastic. Nothing too much trouble. Room comfortable slightly tired but will be back with no hesitation. Ideal for visiting Edinburgh but chilling out on return. Grounds are ideal to wander in with sculptures and occasional seating and hidden nooks.

We had afternoon tea here and it was the best one I've ever had! The service by every single staff member was exceptional and so warm and friendly. The food was perfect and the setting was beautiful! What a lovely place. Cannot recommend enough and very reasonable priced too. The lovely staff really made a lasting impression - some of the best service I've received. Will be back!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Don't stay here. I booked this place for near $400 a night (w/ dinner) and it was NOT worth it! There was a wedding going on at the same time (which is their bread and butter) and they were short staffed, and short glassware. -The grounds: not special, or particularly pretty. Just a field of grass, and then woods. -The castle: although nice to look at from afar, not very impressive in size or details -The room: Nice 4 poster bed, beautifully ornate wardrobe, but very VERY small. - The hallways and main lobby: reeking of cigarette smoke.

The wedding guests smoke right outside the front door. -The restaurant: The food was ok, but quite bland. I did enjoy the bread and bacon infused butter. -The bar: really nicely decorated. The wait staff seemed stressed out, so they weren't as patient with us, but the wall decor of all different kinds of antlers were cool. All in all, this place isn't as run down as people say, but not worth the $$$. Next time I would just stay in the Radisson right in center of Edinburgh.

Excellent accommodation in a lovely castle setting. Staff were friendly, food was excellent. Rooms were clean and comfy. There is a bus stop located just outside the castle grounds which is perfect for commuting into Edinburgh city centre.

This Castle is stunning, food is wonderful and everyone who works there is so accommodating, naming Steven and Emma - we chewed their ears off! They were so nice and remembered what plans we'd made for our time in Scotland, which made it personal. We stayed there for our honeymoon and I'm glad we did. We will be back! Xoxo

Hotel itself is a piece of history. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had the castle suite and it took our breath away, with a reception room, main bedroom, dressing table and a huge bathroom. The huge round copper bath was so nice, big enough for 2 and plenty of room to spare. We had breakfast and dinners in the hotel and we can say the food was amazing, the chef's did a fantastic job at creating edible works of art. This was a perfect end to a week traveling up north all thanks for Melville Castle Hotel
