The Inn has an antiquated toilet- the type where the water tank is up high then you pull a chain to flush. Light fixture in the bathroom is a chain pull as well. Although old everything worked as it should. The food at the Inn was especially good. Good value accommodation.

For the price and easy access to airport- can’t be beat. It is very dated and bathroom is not the greatest (clean but old and a bit mouldy). Bedroom was clean and more updated- relatively quiet but stayed on a Monday night- would likely be louder on a weekend or quiz night.

Chose for location to airport. Room and bathroom looked like it had not been updated since the 1970's. Mold on grout in bathroom. Bathroom door did not open fully or close. Noisy room with beer garden outside. Room finishes need to be updated. Tiny room. Only 18" between bed and wall on one side.

Good food; not a great place to stay

The Riccarton has good food but it’s not a great place to stay. The room was small and windows were right onto the outdoor seating & terrace. Since we were there on a Monday, there weren’t many people, but even so it was distracting. When I complained about the room being cold I was told nothing could be done. Imagine my shock when I raised the shade completely in the morning and discovered both windows at the top were open - and could not be closed. Finally, I asked for a taxi to be called for 6:30am and apparently the woman never did that because it never arrived. We had a flight to make and ended up calling an Uber.

Not close to downtown Edinburgh, but a 30-40 min bus ride. Close to the airport. Nice stay and a great price. The restaurant was good too.

Check in was easy and staff friendly. The room was clean. Even though it was a busy night at the pub with the quiz night you couldn’t hear it inside the room. One are for improvement is the check out method. The notice in the room says that if you plan to check out ‘very early’ please let a member of staff know to be told the key box code. In our minds this would around 6 or 7am and so we didn’t ask the staff. When we were ready to check out the next day at 9am there was no one there or anyone to contact and we therefore has to change our plans for the day to wait until after 10am when some staff arrived. Clearer communication on the check out method would have improved our stay.
