What can I say! Me and my husband try to visit Tenhill twice a year and we are never disappointed. Food is great, staff are friendly and welcoming. We initially booked for 3 nights but during our stay changed to 5 nights . Heading home to book time off so I can book our return thank you again
Arrived here 2nd August, 2 nights at hotel. Brilliant welcome at reception, had an Itison voucher which included dinner on 1st night £30pp allowance, £20 towards drinks anywhere in the hotel and 25% off drinks purchased. Staff didnt even need the voucher and nothing was a problem whatsoever. Got to the room which was superb very large bed, 2 gorgeous easy chairs with footstools, brilliant view of the main street leading up to royal mile and lovely park across the street. Room air con was absolutely superb and believe me we needed it as weather was around 25 that day! hand made chocs welcomed us and we asked for ice bucket with ice which arrived within about 30 seconds! Service fantastic. Food was superb we had a bottle of wine along with the food which was £23, used our drinks allowance for this and found at the end they actually still took the 25% off the wine! breakfast was really superb first morning had an order chap he was so funny and had best sense of humour service was superb and got everything right the 2nd morning again brilliant staff and superb breakfast... all freshly made and fruit freshly cut. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and all so friendly. Maid also cleaned up our room which was lovely as been a while since hotels done this! All in all our stay was super. We got a 20% discount card for next time and the hotel held our cases for a good few hours as we done more exploring! fab stay!…
Just got home from a two night stay, a very nice hotel which was spotlessly clean, great decor throughout and the staff were welcoming and helpful however the food in the restaurant was a big let down. Firstly we were told half of the starters on the menu weren't available due to supply issues, we decided not to have a starter as we didn't fancy what was on offer, we both had fish and chips as our main, it's is £24 so I thought it would be nice, unfortunately I was wrong, the tartar sauce was lovely but the chips were frozen which you can buy from any supermarket and the fish was greasy. The breakfast wasn't much better, the bacon, beans and sausages had run out and took a while to be replenished, the black pudding was rock hard and the scrambled eggs looked sloppy. It's a real shame as the hotel is in a great location and I loved the room we had, if only the food was as good as the decor.…
Recently returned from a 2 night stay after enjoying our last trip. Reception excellent, décor and room super, clean and warm. The biggest disappointment was the restaurant. We were not advised on arrival that there was a function on that evening so we should book a table. We appeared and the dining room was practically empty but were advised we could get a table in approx. 20-30 minutes as they were busy preparing food for the function. We didn’t bother, plenty of local eateries. The best was yet to come. Breakfast, a good variety to chose from as long as you don’t expect it to be hot. On both mornings the eggs and mushrooms on offer from the serving area were empty/cold requiring you to hang around for 10/15 minutes while the dishes were refilled. There was a good selection of other items on offer but I wanted eggs. I felt they should have had one member of staff responsible for this area. A big disappointment. PS a gin & tonic £13. !!…
Lovely room as usual,very spacious and nicely furnished. Large bathroom. Staff were very friendly and explained everything well at check in We ate in restaurant and found it very overpriced and breakfast was not great. Selection of baked goods was poor and continental plates not replenished . It was ok for what we paid but on asking the cost of room for end of June for friends was quoted early £400 ! No way would that be value for money so sadly will be looking elsewhere in June.
Four nights half-board were booked through EasyJet Holidays but we were only provided with an evening meal once. It was explained on arrival that no meal could be provided on the first night due to kitchen staff illness. Our evening meal allowance of £30 each would be refunded. Staff were confident the restaurant would be open for our evening meal the following day. During the afternoon of Day 2 we received a phone call from the hotel to say the restaurant was again closed. Again we would be refunded our evening meal allowance and were offered a free taxi to a restaurant of our choice. Rather than a taxi we asked for and were given a bottle of wine of our choice. We found a really good Italian restaurant (Ciao Roma) 4 minutes walk away. On Day 3 we actually had our evening meal in the hotel restaurant and had no complaints. On Day 4 after we had returned to the hotel for the evening I received a call from hotel reception requesting that we pre-order our evening meal. I presumed the request was because the restaurant was going to be particularly busy that night. However, on enquiry it transpired that we were the only ones booked into the restaurant and the chef and staff were out providing catering at a private function. It was explained that they would return specifically to cook our meal and then return to the function. We didn't find this credible. Rather we imagined our meal would be prepared ahead of the outside catering function and then warmed up when needed. We opted for another refund of our evening meal allowance. By way of compensation the wine and beer we had with our meal on Day 3 was made complimentary. I should say that hotel staff were pleasant, polite and helpful throughout, and did everything they could in the situation but they were dropped in it as much as we were. As for breakfast this was provided every day. Whilst it may have been plentiful it was nothing better than an average hotel buffet breakfast often left under the warmers too long leaving a skin on the baked beans and a crust on the scrambled egg.…
The hotel is situated not far from the Royal Mile, excellent location, near everything but in a quiet street. We booked room only but we took breakfast each morning, at £15 each it was good value. The hotel is very modern and although the room we had was small it was immaculate and had everything you needed and to be honest if you are in Edinburgh you spend little time in your room. The bed was really comfortable, one of the best we have experienced in any hotel. We didn't eat in the restaurant, the menu was not to our liking but there was plenty of guests who did. The hotel is only about 15mins walk to the tram which takes you to the airport so no need for taxis. The outstanding feature of this hotel is the friendliness of the staff, we arrived at 11am were just going to leave our bags but they said we could check in now our room was ready. The receptionists, the bar staff, the people in the restaurant, the cleaners all took time to ask how our day was going and have a conversation. To me it's the staff who make a hotel, well done to you all.…
Stayed for two nights for Christmas experience. Arrived early so left bags and returned at around 5pm. Checked into the room and noted the bed was not king size. Unfortunately the receptionist argued about this and was insistent this WAS indeed a UK king size bed. I have a UK double at home and it was exactly the same size. We were told that the hotel was full and we could not be moved but when we continued to push the point they were able to find a room with a king- but told us this was a “super king” Also had to argue about the complementary chocolates that should have been provided. We were told they were only for people booking directly through hotel- however this isn’t the case at all and when they were delivered to the room the receptionist just started telling us about perks of booking directly with them and not via easyJet. Good location. Didn’t try any food or drinks as only about 20 mins walk into the town area and there is a KFC at the end of the hotel road. If you are not booking directly then make sure you are given the room that you have paid for and any extras that should be included!!…
Just stayed for 3 nights. We booked a half board package with EasyJet. We arrived at 9am after an early flight so checked in and dropped our bags. The lovely receptionist was very helpful and gave us a map so we could start exploring. We arrived back at the hotel about 5pm and our room 201 was ready and our bags waiting for us. Room was large and nicely decorated. Bathroom was large too but showing signs of mildew around the bath, this needs addressing sooner rather than later. The air conditioning kept the room warm but was so noisy, it did however black out any other noise and we all slept really well for our 3 nights. Breakfast was a simple buffet, again all the staff were welcoming. I would have liked to have seen a better/fresher quality bread but it was fine. We were on a half board package so our evening meal should have been included. The hotel only offered a set 2 course menu which was quite limiting and not flexible enough if you only wanted one course (I ordered desserts just because I had too and never ate them, such a waste) the first night our meal was included and we paid for our drinks only, the second night we only had a £50 credit for the 3 of us so had to pay another £48 plus for our drinks (not sure why it was different?) The third night we never bothered as we were all tired and just had a sandwich locally. Would I stay again? Yes for sure. I would only stay room only next time as so many lovely places to eat close by.…
Stayed in room 532 for 2 nights. Paid £270. Unfortunately our train was cancelled on the day we checked out. So being stuck in Edinburgh we asked if we could stay another night (luggage still in their storage room). The girl on reception put us back in the same room we had left earlier in the day. I asked for an improved rate as she was asking for £209. I informed her of us staying the last 2 nights and the room rate we had paid for the previous 2 nights. The reply I got was I’m sorry I can’t do anything about that! I expressed my disappointment but the only interest was getting the best room rate! I feel like I have been ripped off with no loyalty or help to the situation shown what so ever. On any return trip to Edinburgh which was lovely I will never stay at that hotel again!!!…
