Riccarton Inn
Edinburgh|0.74km dari Curriehill
We stayed at the Riccarton Inn for three nights in July as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Free Company. After originally booking a city centre hotel we decided to look at something a little closer and found The Riccarton which looked to be nearby, with nice rooms and at a good price. Before booking we contacted the venue via FaceBook to see if there were any room suggestions and we were told that rooms 1, 2 & 5 are double rooms but they suggested room 1 as the best pick out of the three if it was available…… it was, so we booked it. Getting to the venue was relatively easy, it was a 15 ish minute walk from Currie Hill train station although the majority was uphill so probably not the best route to take if you have reduced mobility. There is a bus stop just over the road from the venue and if you catch the 44 from the city centre it drops you right there (the bus stop right outside the venue, i.e. on the same side of the road, takes you back into the centre on the 44 bus. Buses are easy with TapTapCap so you can use your debit / credit card or device (always use the same card or device to make sure the cap applies). A single journey is £1.80 and it caps at £4.40 for a full days travel. We said that the next time we stay at the venue we’d definitely finish our journey on the bus instead of the train. Oh, the venue is also on the N44 route which is the night bus service, ideal if you go out for a few drinks and it saves on taxis. There are a few different local taxi services as well as Uber, the couple of times we used a taxi we did use Uber in the end as they were actually cheaper and we found them a little more reliable. Check in was really simple, we didn’t prepay but the cost of the room was charged to the card we booked with on the morning before we arrived. All we needed to do was pop a signature onto the booking confirmation at the bar and we were handed our keys, one for the main door to the venue (it gets locked at midnight so you can let yourself in) and one to the room. We didn’t pre-request breakfast but we decided to add it on for two of the mornings and paid for it at the bar…….. I would highly recommend the breakfast, at £8.95 per person it is most definitely worth it (more on that later). The room itself (room 1) was a decent size, it had a very comfortable bed, a built-in closet and plenty of drawer space. The en-suite bathroom had a good size bath with over bath power shower, toilet and wash basin… again all spotlessly clean. The towels were really fluffy and properly dried you instead of just moving the water around which is always a good plus. At night the room did get a little warm but as long as you don’t mind your window open and you leave the bathroom door and window open you do cool down a little. There are tea/coffee making facilities in the room and a hairdryer is also provided. The WiFi code is provided on a welcome card which we found in one of the drawers in the desk.
