Hotels Near Tormain Woods in Edinburgh

Once again, my wife and I were treated to a wonderful stay. Many of the staff remember us after our many visits and take the time to seek us out to ask after us and have a short conversation. It's obvious that they wish to do this, rather than doing it to make an impression. This hotel is outstanding in all respects. A special mention to Donna. My wife uses a wheelchair and Donna looks after us at breakfast. Always over and above what is expected. Other mentions to Pauline on reception (always a pleasure), Fiona on reception and a new face on reception, Hannah, who made us feel like old friends and was really efficient. There are others, but unfortunately, I can't remember names. Suffice it to say that the entire staff make us feel special. Just one thing; please repair the push-button door. It's very temperamental and it's unfair that the reception staff (who always hurry to help) should be taken away from their duties. Thank you for another wonderful experience

The hotel only check in at 4:00pm. only at 4:00pm... many guests arrive in the day time and wait for a long time for check in..... long long queue. The staff gave me a wrong room with no window, that is very narrow, which I have reserved a standard single room with a queen bed. the room with no window, no wifi, no network...and seems that I cananot breath in the room... and I have to go back to the lobby again ..... the door card is not that good... I have to go to the reception to activate the card every day...yes. .. every day... sometime, I found out that when I tried to open my room door...but it failed... and I have to go back to the lobby again.... it is quite annoying. The location is OK. with bus to the airport and the tram and bus station nearby. The breakfast is good, with plenty of choices. The food is the same every day.

I booked a a night within the hotel on Halloween as we had booked a walking ghost tour within the city. It was a bit of a walk down to the Royal mile taking about 25 mins but as it was dry it was ok. The hotel was fantastic, the reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The entrance lobby was warm and clean, very inviting. All of the corridors were very well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a queen sized bed, seating area and a good sized bathroom. The room again was nicely decorated and well equipped. Due to the restrictions the hotel restaurant was closed but we were allowed to order food into the hotel and the receptionist even pointed us in the direction of local shops. I would recommend the hotel and will most probably stay again.

Our experience at this hotel was good, as expected. It was good value for money, the buffet breakfast was good, service was good! No complaints really!

Our assessment of our 3 night stay at the Waldorf was mixed. The hotel was very nice and as a Diamond member we were upgraded to a castle view room. The complimentary breakfast was very good and the front desk staff were generally helpful. We did have a problem one night with the light fixture leaking water from the ceiling. This may have been due to a rainstorm one night and staff brought a bucket to catch the leaking water. The biggest problem, however, occurred after checkout. At the time of checkout I was told that the hotel printer wasn’t working so they would email me my receipt. Since all 3 nights were paid for with HH points I asked if there was a zero balance and was told yes. Later that day I received the final bill and was charged over $1,000 on my credit card for all three nights. I immediately called the hotel and was told by in house reservations staff that my reservation had been cancelled when I didn’t show up. I reminded them that we had been staying with them the last 3 nights and had no problem at checkin on the scheduled day. In fact I confirmed our arrival time several hours before checkin. So they didn’t know what the problem was but would talk to the reservations manager when they were free. In the meantime I called the Hilton diamond desk and again was told that someone had cancelled my stay with points and it had been rebooked by someone as a cash stay and they were not sure what the problem was. My points had even been put back onto my account by someone. By now I am a bit irritated. I finally receive a call back from the hotel reservation manager who tells me that the Waldorf had a computer glitch on our arrival date and that all hotel reservations had been cancelled and had to be manually reentered by hotel staff. However, Hilton hotels have no way to make reservations using points so they made them as a cash payment. Thereby the $1,000 bill. Now glitches are bound to occur sometimes. However, all of this angst could have been avoided by telling me at checkin about the problem and I could have immediately rebooked the room using points while standing at the front desk. The hotel did ultimately reverse the charges and apologize. However. this shouldn’t happen at a property like the Waldorf.

I booked this in a panic after another hotel messed me around, it was a little expensive but very convenient location. I arrived frustrated and annoyed but the staff were friendly and helped me with my bags. Room was nice and comfortable, if not a little small. Bath and shower worked perfectly. It was clean. Thank you for saving my trip!

I visited the W for the first time on Friday evening. From the moment we stepped through the door the experience was exquisite. We didn’t have a reservation however sitting at the bar in the upstairs lounge was wonderful. We met the lovely Sumith who educated us on everything wine related. Edson our bartender made some delicious cocktails. The experience was perfection from start to finish, I cannot wait to return!! To finish off our wonderful evening we were given access to the 12th floor, just WOW. I’ve not seen views like these in Edinburgh!!

First of all I would like to say I am dissapointed , we stayed in the KM apartment and was nothing like the photo’s! The apartment was much smaller, shower didn’t work correctly and was miniscule and even so the thermostatic adjuster was terribly placed behind the sliding halve door soaking you in freezing water every time we tried to turn it on aswell as this the shower temperature was temperamental and changed hot and cold in the shower ,bathroom was tiny and felt dirty, the kitchen was very standard, I was under the belief that the bedroom floor would be much bigger but was tiny, the TV didn’t work as it should the ironing board was broken. The window view was terribly looking directly into other windows and a wall. When arrived I had to park at the NCP car park which was about a 10/15 minute walk away from the foyer but did receive a discount on it. The apartment was in a Mecca for university students and finding our apartment was like a maze, the price of the stay at this apartment was very overpriced for one night I could’ve payed roughly the same amount for the same night at the Sheraton and sure I would’ve had a much nicer stay! I hate to write bad reviews but the stay at KM apartments was very disappointing, I truly wish I booked to stay the night at the Sheraton in Edinburgh instead! I seriously doubt I will ever stay at any KM hotel/apartment again after this I had high hopes for a spacious up to date apartment but was dissapointed. I hope they contact me and rectify and out belief back in me for their business.

Stayed her for three nights October 2022 with the Scotland Rugby League team prior to the Rugby League World Cup. What a great find this hotel was. Spotlessly clean and so very comfortable. Bedrooms roomy and the beds as comfortable as you can get. The food was excellent, and they catered for our every need. The breakfasts were amazing and the service was beyond reproach . Special shout out to our servers Chez, Shannon and the boss Karen. Could not have been better. A massive thank you and a great start to our World Rugby League Cup campaign . Defo use this hotel again.

We stayed out of Edinburgh as much cheaper than in Edinburgh on a busy weekend - went to watch Harry Styles at Murrayfield! The first night wasn’t great as our room was noisy as the window wouldn’t close and at breakfast lots of items were not topped up. However, the staff moved us the next day and breakfast was much better stocked the next 2 mornings. The staff were so friendly and helpful - particularly Clare and Kayleigh. It was very easy and cheap to get the train into Edinburgh
