The Murrayfield Hotel

Really nice setting, beautiful décor, staff were lovely :)
Only had drinks with family so I am looking forward to trying out some food in the near future

This review is for the Bothy, the restaurant, located inside the Murrayfield Hotel. Our Contiki group had our Scottish evening dinner here. This was an extra add-​on to our trip but it was well worth it. We had a wonderful 3-​course meal where we were able to choose our starters, entrees, and desserts. We also received a free glass of wine, beer or Irn-​Bru of our choice. Irn-​Bru is like the Coca-​Cola of Scotland. I can’t say what it tastes like since I went with a glass of wine.
I also had the Scottish haggis, haddock in cream sauce, and sticky toffee pudding. The dinner was fantastic and went beyond my expectations. I think everyone in our group participated so we had a packed house. The restaurant itself is cozy and the hotel is a small bed & breakfast. It’s a gorgeous venue located down the street from our hotel. The service was great. Our table happened to be the first to be served so that was nice and we were closest to the bar. Anything we wanted to get from the bar was paid for separately so that was easy. If you ever wanted to try haggis, this is where you want to have it. It was served with taters and nips pureed on top with a whiskey cream sauce. The haddock was flaky and delicious. The sticky toffee pudding is delicious. The food was phenomenal.
We were also treated to the musical stylings of Andy the Piper. He happened to be the Queen mother’s favorite piper and has played for the Queen on numerous occasions, including a performance right before ours. He told jokes and played some traditional Scottish songs with his bagpipes. He posed for photos and was quite awesome. It was a lively dinner and it was a great time had by all.

I don’t hand this out lightly. This hotel was simply awesome… cool, fun, and clever. Free scotch, marshmallow cookies, and awesome waters… TV behind the mirror, awesome showers, great location, charming, unique.
Running out of synonyms… they just got it right… and I am a hotel consultant so I know when it was done right. Congrats G1 on a job well done.

Was there last night for some after hockey refreshments.
Have been many times over the years as well pre/​post rugby at Murrayfield and itsa solid option as far as bars in that part of the city go. Good pints, good service, good seats and good screens!
Cant fault it really for what it is other than the décor just feels a bit wrong!

I must admit I have only ever been in for a pint, but no real fault can I find. If I were to be over critical, the renovations to the bar area have made it über cool inside which doesn’t hold with the building… but this is being critical for critical’s sake and it will not stop me going back for a thirst quencher. Their beer garden out the front is a winner… even in the snow!

Das Hotel ist «okay», wenn man keine großen Ansprüche hat. Zimmer sind sehr klein, Fenster extrem zügig (nicht im Winter reisen!) und die Einrichtung sehr abgewohnt. Das Frühstück sehr Schottisch, d.h. kein Wurst und Käse sondern Haggis, Bratwürstchen und Spiegeleier.
Fazit: Zu einem Schnäppchenpreis

I have been to the Murrayfield Hotel loads of times over the years. It is located just 2 minutes walk west of Roseburn and is really close to Murrayfield Stadium. I tend to go there every year with a huge crowd of people for a 6 nations rugby weekend. The place is great for 6 nations games as it’s bar is pretty big with a few televisions and a big projector be warned though, it gets packed full of people. There is a big area outside too with loads of tables and benches. Prices of drinks are also pretty good.

Pourquoi: Le préféré de tous les passionnés de rugby.
L’ambiance: Confortable.
Le plus: Deux écrans géants dans le grand bar moderne, réputé pour sa cuisine servie jusqu’à 21 heures.
