Edinburgh 2024
We had a pleasant stay the staff were fantastic and location good for fhe airport and access ti the city by public transport. The accommodation is dated and needs some renovation shower constantly on super hot. Restaurant was good evening meal was fantastic but breakfast very greasy and not value for money. We would stay again if in Edinburgh again but avoid room 5 as nextvto beer garden and car park so noisy at most times. The evening barcteam were friendly and helpful and would recommend the chicken haggus and bacin pie and hazy local ipa beers.

This was a low budget one night stay. I didn’t expect luxury. I was however positively surprised about how accommodating the staff were. Very friendly, professional and flexible. The room ticked all the boxes. It was clean and has coffee for the morning. You would pay more for some of the youth hostels in the toon. As a Middle Aged woman I was delighted with Riccarton inn x

This is a very basic place to lay your head for the night. I loved how accessible this was, close to public transport to get into Edinburgh. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I loved the nature walk around the area (very close to a river) the accommodation was surprisingly quiet being at a pub.. I booked the breakfast and it was incredible! Highly recommended

Two Night Stay at Riccarton Inn
Great find for a couple of nights. Room was really clean with ample space for two of us. Bathroom really clean & towles were fantastic, Staff were fine - younger staff in bar/restauarant were much friendlier than those at check in & breakfast. Food- both dinner & breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice at both meals. Fish & chips were exceptional !!! All in all agreat stay at a good price.

Good for a quick night sleep
One night quick stay, welcome was great, friendly staff through check in and check out. Room itself was a bit dated but functional and good amenities (wardrobe, drawers, etc.) Bathroom only counts with a single soap and no shower gel or shampoo, something to keep in mind. Room was clean however the duvet cover had a small blood stain on one edge… not a great sight when I arrive late in and can’t ask for a change of sheets. All in all was a good place to stay the night for the price, I feel a bit extra attention to detail would go a long way. Rooms are adjacent and not soundproof at all so keep that in mine if you’re a light sleeper like me. However the area itself is very quiet after the pub closes so it’s up to the other guests :)

Absolutely charming
The hotel was lovely, the staff was lovely, and we were very comfortable. The building is old and it shows. I personally found it charming, but if your preference is sterile hotels without personality, this isn’t the place for you.

Overnight stay
Very pleased with our overnight stay at the Riccarton Inn. Our room was clean and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. The bath towels were the fluffiest we’ve ever had in a hotel. Didn’t eat in the hotel so can’t comment on the food but judging by the number of people eating there, it must have been good. Plenty of parking and only 12 minutes drive to the airport. We would definitely stay here again
