The Glenora hotel, is in a great location for Haymarket station - it's literally less than a minutes walk from the station. It''s about a 15 minute walk to princess street ( shopping street) which is a pleasant walk.

The rooms were clean, and there was plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, if you were staying longer than a weekend this would be more than adequate. The bathroom was very tiny, but had good quality fittings and was brand new.
When you check in, you are issued with a key for your room which also opens the front door. This means that you don't interact with the staff unless you need something ( reception is manned until 9pm( or see anyone until breakfast time - this feels a bit like you are in an apartment complex or similar.

The breakfast was the best thing about this hotel. it was served from 7.30-9am and everything was organic, from the tomato ketchup to the yoghurts and the bread. You could have a cooked breakfast of mushrooms, tomato, sausage, bacon and either fried or scrampled egg - or any variation on this. The staff were helpful and pleasant. There were also cereals, yohgurt, fruit and fruit juice. A very substantial breakfast to set you up for the day!

The only comment I would make about the hotel, it that although the rooms were clean and tidy and looked quite new, it's really only a nice bed and breakfast, I expected a little more after reading the reviews and looking at the pictures of the website. There is no lounge, or bar. the prices are a little over what I would have expected to pay for a bed and breakfast. You can get a room in the Channings or Bonham boutique hotel in the centre, which has a bar and a restaurant, concierge etc for £140 per room per night, which is about £6.00 more expensive than this hotel per person total.

we stayed at the Glenora last week, and we had a great time.
the guest house is very well situated,2 mn wlk from the airport bus stop, and 10mn from the center of town
the double room we had was spacious, and newly furnished with flat sceen tv ,an all organic breakfast was served by a charming young woman, to whom we asked all the information we needed.
the people there are very helpfull and pleasant
we will recommend this very special place and will come back

We were under impression that this was a hotel. It isn't, it is a b&B with breakfast well below standard of the Brentwood in Aberdeen, yet more expensive.
Thus no evening meal or sitting room or bar.
Our room was at top of stairs and we struggled with our cases.
Best thing about the room was the flat screen TV. Bathroom very small but modern. problems with shower seen to quickly.

Otherwise OK but may try elswhere another time.

italian restaurant just across the road down Dalry rd was best find 'La Partenope'.

  • Liked — Near bus stop and railway stn
  • Disliked — The three flights of stairs!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our honeymoon in Scotland. It really is a lovely hotel. We were given a very nice big room, and though there was no tub, the bathroom was upgraded and spotless! Each morning we had an amazingly fresh, full breakfast in the dining room before heading out, and often it would last us until dinner. The owners were very nice and helpful throughout our stay, including when our bedroom door becamed jammed (most likely our fault). They were quick to call a locksmith and have it fixed, no charge to us. The hotel is also nicely located not far from restaurants and sites. We explored Edinburgh by foot and had no trouble being based in the west end. A great experience and I would definately recommend this hotel to a friend.

  • Liked — Delicious breakfast.
  • Disliked — No bathtub to relax in.
