This review is for The Sands Burntisland restaurant. Let's start by saying, it was a mission to…read moreget here. Being ignorant train riders and apparently poor map readers, we jumped on the train in Kinghorn and got off at the Burntisland station. Don't judge, we're from Hawai'i, geography is not our strong suit. Ask us about volcanoes and we will chat up a storm. Anyhow, I digress. So we jump into our Googlemaps page (a la Joey Tribiani from Friends) and figure out we have to walk about 3/4 of a mile back towards where we came from. We ask directions from a 16 yr. old girl in a 2nd floor window. She hmmm'd and haw'd a bit so we were a little iffy about believing her. We walked in that directions and asked a few more people along the way. The good news is that we worked off our calories before we actually ate and we had a fantastic walk along the Burntisland beach yah? Once there, we were greeted and shown to our table by a server which we later discovered was also the bartender, the host and quite possibly the cook too. He was AWESOME and funny and called Kinghorn Taxis @ 01592-890890 for us so we wouldn't be stranded. Which by the way, Hamish, the owner came and picked us up himself and became our go to taxi for our stay. Honestly, I don't quite remember everything the seven of us ordered (might have been the long walk). What I do remember is the Steamed Shetland Mussels with creamy white wine, garlic and parsley sauce. TO DIE FOR!!! If you happen upon this place, please make sure this is a part of your meal. You will not regret it. Save some bread so you can dip it in the broth. Next time I'm in Burntisland I will definitely stop for a large serving of the Steamed Shetland Mussels.

One of the major benefits for me is that they let you borrow a straightener from the front desk. My hair was so grateful!! The rooms are tiny but that's to be expected in Europe! The WiFi wasn't fantastic either but we really didn't need it much.

This hotel is located in the Grassmarket area of Edinburg. It's just steps away from Old Town and…read morethe Royal Mile. Edinburg Castle is about a 15 minute walk. There is a restaurant in the hotel but there are a LOT of restaurants within walking distance. We had asked for a room with two beds thinking they would be single beds. (Our last experience with hotels in Europe was not a great one. We had a tiny room and a tiny bed,) When we got our room it was bigger than we expected. It had two beds-one was a king and the other a queen. What a nice surprise! There is no air conditioning in most hotels in Europe. With the windows open and a fan I was quite comfortable because the temp was around 60° the three nights we were there. The hubby who likes it much colder said it was bearable. The staff was friendly. The hotel was clean. I don't remember if breakfast is included in the price. There is a buffet breakfast or you can order off the menu. The last morning I ordered the smoked salmon, poached eggs, and sourdough toast off the hot menu. It was delicious. Had to have smoked salmon before I left Scotland...wish I would have ordered it sooner. Yummy. Would have given it 4 stars but with the lack of ac and having to climb several sets of stairs before you get to the elevator I'm giving it 3 stars. In all fairness, on occasion I did use the hotel ramp to get into or leave the hotel but that entailed walking through the rain. It did, however, lead you directly to the elevator.

We stayed here September 2023. On the site we used to book the hotel the description stated they…read moreare in Edinburgh, Scotland, had 2 room suites available and had a washer/dryer available for guest use. This hotel is in Kirkcaldy, which ended up being 2 hours outside of Edinburgh. Even though the site stated a 2 room suite, when we got there we got a single room with a double and a child's bed and were told this was what we reserved. The Washer/dryer was strictly for the hotel only, we had to find a laundromat nearby. Additionally, the menus provided showed dinner was from 6:30 pm to 9pm. Whenever we arrived, may it have been 6:45pm or 7pm, we were told dinner was already shutdown. We also had trouble getting back to Kirkcaldy after 7pm. As the city apparently shuts down around 6:30pm. However, if you are going to Scotland to explore and experience the country, do not stay at this hotel. Kirkcaldy is a quiet out of the way town. Be sure that the hotel you choose is actually centered in Edinburgh or the city you want to explore. Scotland was amazing and I do plan on returning.

We stayed at the hotel and needed a late dinner (it was 8 p.m. or thereabouts). We were tired and…read moredidn't want to drive around, so we opted for dinner in the hotel restaurant. What a good decision that turned out to be, and what a treat! In addition to excellent, attentive service, we found that the small portions of the entrées still gave us plenty of food. One of us got the small Steak Pie (£6.95), another chose the Lasagne Al Forno (£7.95), and the third chose the evening special (sorry, I don't remember what it was, but it was £6.95). For £21.85, we had a dinner that was delicious and far surpassed the quality of the food we ate at many other restaurants on our trip to the U.K. The value of the food and the service were so good. If I lived anywhere near Edinburgh, I would visit the good people at the Victoria Hotel any time I needed a night away from the kitchen.

We had the place to ourselves as it was Wednesday just before Valentine so everyone saving themselves for Friday night. It felt like we had our own private chef cooking for us.

The main was great also. The service from Lewis was very attentive and he knew when to leave us be. We even got a lift back up to the train station! Not a service many restaurants offer these days.
