We were there for a wake. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They served tea, coffee, bacon/sausage rolls and biscuits. All were to a high standard. The room was a sensible size for the group and was plain but we'll kept. The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the crematorium we used so was very easy to get to.

Visited the beer garden at the Victoria Park a few times in between lockdowns last year and had a great time. Was back last night and had a FANTASTIC time! …

Nice local hotel bar with covered outdoor seating. Always a good selection of cask and quality keg beers, often from local breweries. Staff are always polite and friendly. Not many pubs in the Trinity/Ferry Road area, so it’s a good thing that the Gosford Bar is such a nice place to go for a drink. Not tried the bar food, but what I’ve seen others get looks pretty good.

Stayed here for one night after a day spent walking round Edinburgh city centre. It was very well located and had free off road parking. …

During the 2021 lockdown I volunteered with a local charity and part of my work was to support homeless people being housed in this hotel on a temporary basis. All the staff were amazing and went above and beyond to care for their vunerable guests. On mother's Day for example the staff presented mums with flowers. When I went to meet our clients I was made very welcome, offered a safe and socially distanced space and refreshments at no charge. The hotel also did clients laundry again at no extra charge. The council were footing the bill and there's no way they would pay extra for all the extra things the staff were doing. They care about their hotel and guests. Our clients have now been rehoused and cannot thank the staff enough. They were very well cared for and felt very safe indeed.

This hotel was just opening up due to covid 19 restrictions. We were the first guests since lockdown. Our room was very clean and the small bar is nice and cosy while social distancing.  …

We went there after my mother's funeral. It is especially convenient for Warriston Crematorium. The room was well laid out and the Coffee, tea, sandwiches, sausage rolls and shortbread were all fine. The staff were very helpful when it came to bringing in more chairs. They offered paper bags to take away the leftover food. I would thoroughly recommend this as a venue. We stayed on to have a final drink in the bar through the hall and it was pleasant too.

We had a family lunch party in the function room at the hotel. With 15 kids of varying ages and 30 adults, the venue couldn't have been more perfect and the service was amazing. The staff were on hand to cater to our every need whilst bring relaxed and very friendly. The good was delicious and exceeded expectations. Would recommend to anyone with a big family looking to find a venue for a group 'do' or reunion. Think they can sit over 100 if you needed it. It's also v easy to get to, especially for our family coming from Fife. Thanks to Craig and the team. Craig met with me on 2 occassions to ensure everything was as required. Just very good from beginning to end.

We were there just the other day for a funeral tea. The sandwiches were very dry. The sausage rolls and tea were okay. Staff were very attentive, however they kept disappearing out of the room. When I phoned the hotel yesterday to complain and leave feedback I was told someone would look into this matter and phone me back. Which never happened. It's really disappointing . It feels as if the hotel is being run into the ground which is a real shame as its in a really good location for Warriston.

We stayed 2 nights in room 8. The windows opened well and the room was clean. The shower was on its own and not in the bathroom but it worked well. …
