Such a shame.

My third visit to this hotel. Sadly it wasn’t as good as previous visits. The room had a stale smell, there were splashes of who knows what up the walls, probably tea/coffee, and the edges around the bath were disgusting. The mattress was so uncomfortable. Shower curtain rail was hanging off the wall. The only positive was the food in the restaurant was good.

You get what you pay for. It’s next to a Asda but the area was very quiet and we slept really well. Room was clean and comfortable with air con. Breakfast was cracking with great choice and cooked fresh. The staff were helpful professional and all lovely . It was perfect for what we wanted to go see a gig in Edinburgh

Staff were amazing

Amazing - the restaurant and hotel was packed and yet the staff were some of the hardest working people I’ve encountered in years and despite a possible delay on food there wasn’t a delay at all. Everything was great

One lunch and two breakfast - Not great. Main entrance to premises/dining area - glass door filthy with hand and fingerprints. Room had not been cleaned when we checked in at 2.0 pm. It was cleaned eventually - pretty basic. Surprised that there was no facility to charge cell phones - very inconvenient! Unsightly, overgrown hedge outside our window, #21. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Not great value . money.

A Good Reasonably Priced Hotel/pub

The Pine Marten is very reasonably priced compared to other hotels in the area. The hotel building is separate from the pub so no noise. The bedroom was clean with all facilities. The bed was (unlike in some hotels) very comfortable. Had continental breakfast each day at £6 odd. It was adequate but no yoghurt mixed with berries like at Premier Inn and Holiday Inn Express. Also the music being played was dire . Funeral music
