Unhappy stay
The pictures on the web site are not up to date. The bathroom was dirty, floor, tiles al needed cleaning. The room had a horrible smell. The cupboard in the bathroom was falling apart. We didn’t use the bathroom. The bed was horrible and the quilt was dirty, the headboard was falling off the wall. Nothing was nice about it. The breakfast as a mess, no cutlery, glasses and what we did have was dirty. The table was sticky I think more staff is needed at this hotel and some modernisation is required. We will not be coming back.

Non standard hotel with a soul
This is very different to chain hotels which are usually emasculate, but have little soul. Brooks is run by a dedicated, energetic team of young professional people. The bedroom, lounge and restaurant are well maintained and comfortable. There was a wide range of food available. On the first day I ordered Eggs Benedict, it arrived, very well prepared within 4 minutes. The second day smoked salmon and scrambled egg appeared with same efficiency. This is not Hampton by Hilton or Premier but very good value in Edinburgh where accommodation prices are very high. Highly recommended!

Average hotel some distance from the attractions
Kind of ok. We never intended to spend much time in the room and the decor didn't invite us to change our minds.

Fine - 3 stars is 3 stars
The room was freezing unless you put the radiator on, which was then too warm to sleep with and had a very bright light on it. Single glazed windows with construction right outside that started at 8am on the dot. Stained carpet and ripped duvet. Also no phone in the room to call reception. However the shower was big and modern/powerful, the bed was also big and very comfy and the breakfast was tasty. Staff are nice and helpful. Free WiFi. Definitely a 3 star hotel.

Staff at reception were very nice and said 24 hour reception staff. We left our key when we went out but no one on reception when we got back. Rang bell for attention several times. In the end had to go to the cupboard where I saw they kept the keys and had to take my key out. Bed a bit uncomfortable. On the plus side breakfast was very good with good service.

The location was pretty good although didn't look it walking up the street. The interior was ok. The lounges were very nice and the staff were lovely. A pity there wasn't more of them. Breakfast time was quite amusing as people had to wait in the lounge to be called in. Other than that our room was great and very quiet.

The breakfast was pretty good. We had a problem with the toilet not flushing and talked to the front desk about it before leaving for sightseeing. When we returned to the room late, the toilet had not been fixed. Also, I know this is an old building, but when the bathroom was renovated the showers could have been bigger. I am not fat, but I am tall and it was tight.

Good location. Service friendly and efficient. Breakfast very good. Quirky fixtures and fittings were interesting, although some of them looked a bit tired.
