I stayed here on a trip with my dad and some friends the night of St. Patrick's Day. We had just flown from Ireland (seems sacrilegious on St. Patty's Day, right?), booked this place once landing at EDI, and got here around midnight. Now, this is an older hotel, so be mindful of that when hauling your luggage upstairs. It's common for European hotels not to have the entire floor on one level but rather have a few steps down here, a few up there. Also the beds are a little older, too.
The hotel manager was very kind; she patiently took our last-minute reservation and waited up late to show us to our room. The hotel was situated in a lovely part of Scotland with all the lochs around and beautiful greenery. The next morning, we had a lovely and hearty breakfast which prepared us for our long and indirect trek to Inverness.
A goofy American aside: my friend remarked that it was kind of scary to be staying at the "Hotel Killin" which was situated right near a cemetary and looked to be in the middle of the Blair Witch Project at nightfall. This place, though, was completely charming. Oh - and for the ladies touring - I believe they had a hairdryer in the room for use. read more
