Lovely quiet, refurbished hotel serving great food

I like to stay here whilst working at Knockhill as it is quiet, comfortable and serves excellent food until a reasonable time so I can get back and eat. Wifi is OK downstairs but patchy in rooms. Ample Parking. Well appointed rooms which have been refurbished to a very good standard, with plenty of power points etc. The only issue was the shower could have been better. It looked good, but if you wanted a hot shower it was less powerful. It is frequented by coach parties so if you timed breakfast wrong, that could be an issue. Worth asking at reception when they would be eating to avoid?

We had a great stay here. The young ladies were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and hot. Breakfast was good although not a big selection but it filled us and we left happy. Will definitely look to book again when in the area.

Third time staying at the Adamson. I’d been in this room before (I’m a solo traveller) and it’s very clean and comfortable. I know ‘rainfall’ showers are the thing these days, but they really aren’t great. Zero water pressure and even at the hottest setting it was barely warm. Took so long to shower as it was a trickle… Other than the rubbish shower, the overall stay was good.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Adamson Hotel. We were made to feel very welcome the moment we arrived, and all the staff should be complimented. Our room was very comfortable and our evening meal was the icing on the cake_ we would certainly add it to our places to stay when visiting Fife.

Second time staying here but first time having breakfast, which, apart from coinciding with a coach party, was very good. Arrived around 2am after a late flight and check in was easy. Very comfortable room, and good shower in the morning. Re-booked for a visit to family later this month. Can’t fault this hotel.

The hotel was modern, fresh and comfortable . A short drive from Edinburgh park and ride. Not far to the Odeon for evening entertainment. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was fresh, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and modern. My teenage daughter says it was bangin...! I can thouroughly recommend the place and I would gladly return if I come to this area again.

Mediocre

Premises is clean but rooms are basic. Tea facilities in room but two of the teabags were soiled. so just threw them in the bin. No iron or ironing board in the room so i asked at reception and had a very contaminated iron delivered to me. Also no phones in the room so guests have to walk to reception if they need anything. Frustratingly they don’t take Amex, so had to use personal credit card. Also they don’t offer the option to charge dinner to the room account, it has to be paid separately in the bar. Food choice is limited. Breakfast was also limited and the cooked offering not very palatable. alright for cheap bed for the night but below what you would expect of a hotel. Much scope for improvement.
