Moxy Edinburgh Airport

4/10 Poor

"Convient within walking distance to the airport and car rental. Room was small and our room was facing the road to the airport so was very noisy with the window open."

Britannia Hotel Edinburgh

4/10 Poor

"Péssima experiência. A informação que os funcionários são multilingues, é mentirosa; o lixo ficou no quarto por três noites, eu o retirei; não houve limpeza no quarto e nem reposição do café, chá. Por descuido, não verifiquei que não tinha geladeira no quarto na hora de contratar, o que para mim é imprescindível, posto que faço uso de medicamento que precisa de refrigeração, e o gelo que transporto necessita de freezer, resultado, se disponibilizaram a colocar na geladeira, mas não tinham freezer, no dia seguinte quando fui pegar o medicamento, não tinha sinais que estava refrigerado, por segurança, solicitei gelo todos os dias, pela manhã e a noite para manter o meu medicamento próprio para o uso, e até nesse momento, sentia um pouco de má vontade. O transporte público no local é bem precário, e os funcionários não sabem dar informações sobre horários do ônibus, etc. Eu gosto de andar, então, não foi um problema, mas para quem não gosta, melhor pensar, e se alguém usar medicamento que precisa de geladeira, passem longe. Andares e elevadores imundos, cortina do banheiro imunda.... Um hotel três estrelas tem obrigação de ser limpo, ter uma geladeira, e retirar o lixo. Não me alimentei no hotel, portanto, não posso opinar sobre as refeições."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Best air conditioning we had on our trip. The location is perfect. The rooftop terrace is very nice and we enjoyed the great views each night. Would highly recommend this hotel. The restaurant service was very bad however. I know they like to let people linger and enjoy but that normally comes after the meal not before you order."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Carlops?

The best time to go to Carlops is typically during the late spring, summer, and early autumn months, from May to September, when the weather is generally mildest and the days are longest.

During these months, you'll find the most pleasant conditions for exploring the Pentland Hills Regional Park, which surrounds Carlops. The walking trails will be more accessible, and the chances of clear skies for enjoying the scenic views are higher. This period is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and cycling, as well as for couples looking for a picturesque retreat with opportunities for leisurely walks.

If you're particularly interested in the blooming heather that covers the hillsides, late July and August are exceptional. The landscape transforms into a stunning purple, offering fantastic photographic opportunities and a truly memorable experience for nature lovers. For families, these months also present the best opportunity to enjoy outdoor family-friendly activities without the chillier temperatures.
