Cleanliness, room size
May consider providing basic toiletries.
Nada , esperaba mucho más de este hotel
Para empezar, carísimo, sin servicio en el baño, no había jabones de ducha , creo que les costaba poco poner este servicio, la habitación han querido darle un aire moderno y se han quedado muy cortos.
Lampara rota , cortinas rotas , se veían las maderas de bajo de la cama , en fin , FATAL, precio altísimo .
Extremely poor value for our two-night stay. For £450 we expected a high-level experience. Instead, we found ourselves in a bog-standard pub. We had to find some bar staff to check us in. Our room was cramped. Coffee and tea were provided but no biscuits. No fridge, no mini bar, no room safe. Wifi was effective but not securely password-protected. Two bath towels but no hand towels. (Staff told us they only had bath towels!) No bedside table or reading light on one side of the bed. The bathroom light kept going off , then on again. One bathroom window was covered with a sheet of cardboard. Only very basic toiletries were provided (a small bar of soap) and there was no shelf in the shower. The mattress was too soft. Noise from the pub downstairs went on till 11.00 pm. We used the restaurant for dinner once and almost walked out as the service was so slow, though the food was satisfactory. Incredibly, the hotel 'doesn't do breakfasts midweek', so you have to wander the streets of early morning Musselburgh looking for somewhere that does! Not a serious hotel, and price-gouging during Edinburgh's festival period.
The staff were friendly and helpful. It was convenient to travel i to Edinburgh
Breakfast was only served on the weekend
Room interior was nice
Beds were a bit saggy. Also, expected a double bed but got two singles pushed together.
Everything around the bar and the restaurant were fine.
The mattress in room 7 sucks it was like sleeping on the base of the bed
Super friendly staff. The room was large and exactly what we needed for our stay. Lots of food options around and supermarkets close by. Parking was easy to access.
Location was good
Bed was too hard no fan in room 😫 l
Through our own mistake we were later than expected & staff very kindly allowed us a late check in after normal hours
Bar man/barista made me a lovely cup of hot chocolate.All the bar staff were nice. Car park taken up by all the pub patrons.
It's a pub with rooms dreaming it's something grander. It really tries with the room decor (nice touch to have a thinner duvet for the weather, but could have been a bit bigger) and a flashy bathroom (nice towels) . But! The noise in the pub below is loud in the roomsl. Decor nice, bed is really small and creaky. Bathroom lovely and big, but floor tiles are broken. Avoid restaurant at all costs. Overpriced and underwhelming. Don't call it a restaurant and then serve something a supermarket cafe would be ashamed of! You can cook fresh food fairly easily. But don't call yourself a restaurant if you serve up freezer to fryer food and can't get that right! I told the server politely what was wrong and didn't make a fuss, she said she passed my comments to the cook - please listen and do something. I wish I'd gone to Aldi for some food). Thank god I didn't book breakfast. Stayed at the Ship Inn a couple doors up last year, much better.
Handy location within easy travel to Edinburgh.
Room was hot and noisy if window open.

Breakfast being served from 9am however you have to checkout at 10am. That did not meet our needs.
There was a wedding on that we were unaware of. There were wedding guests shouting up the stairs where our room was until gone midnight. The bed was lumpy due to it being 2 beds pushed together. The pillows were also poor.
Party of 4 for drinks in the sunshine..served by 2 miserable barmaids who at 1 point were having an argument..sevice was very slow.. got our round of drinks wrong twice! bar was covered with dirty glasses as were the tables outside also dirty dishes..very expensive for drinks..only good thing I can say was the weather..heard lots of other customers complaining about the same issues..never again!!! AVOID
This was our 3rd stay as 3 couples for our annual trip to Musselburgh Races. Sadly it will be our last stay at Ravelston.
The positives are that it is within walking distance to the Races, restaurants and bars which is why we changed to here from the previous hotel we stayed at.
The staff are exceptional despite clearly being over worked and not enough resource to deal with the bar and food service. There are often long queues to be served.
There is no reception as such so it can take a while to get hold of someone to check in and out. We were just handed keys with no information. I always book the same rooms a year in advance however on this occasion 1 room wasn't a twin. When I spoke to the Manager there was barely an apology and a half hearted offer to change the config of a room if we swapped with our friends.
As we had a dinner booking and wanted to get changed we were unable to do this.
The bar is very lively and can be noisy and boisterous at times. The noise didn't subside till 12.45am and we did have 2 young guys who had come upstairs to make phone calls outside our room to source a party and gear which was a but unsettling.
We were in Room 2 which was clean however the bed was extremely uncomfortable. The mattress dipped in lots of places and was lumpy. Not ideal if you need a firm supportive mattress. They've also stopped providing toiletries except a bar of soap.
We've always had breakfast included in the price however this was not the case this time yet we were still paying the same price. The lovely lady who was serving breakfast was very apologetic that we hadn't been told. We did have a bit of a wait for our food however it was lovely when it did arrive.
On checkout we again waited in the bar with no one around to eventually find out that the money for the rooms had already been taken. In previous years we have always paid for each room on checkout. Again something that wasn't explained.
Musselburgh is very limited in accommodation for the Races however the recent reviews of the Ravelston do seem to have the same themes throughout. For us it definitely wasn't worth £150 a night.
