Gorgeous rooms but needs breakfast!

The property was stunning with comfy rooms and a nice garden vibe. The Nespresso machine was a sweet touch! Just a heads up, no breakfast on-site, which was a bummer. some clearer signs and info on getting in and out would help. if you're cool with a bit of hunting for breakfast, it’s great!

Request a quiet room with a garden view for a peaceful night's sleep, away from street noise.

the bankton house was full of charm. we felt right at home. the staff greeted us warmly and made our stay pleasant. the food and drinks were fantastic, with plenty of options that even locals enjoyed. the large twin room was comfortable, quaint, and cozy for our family. we loved the nearby walking trails leading to stunning views.

i absolutely loved my stay at bankton house! the superior suite was gorgeous, and the atmosphere was perfect for some peace and quiet. even though the restaurant and bar weren't open, the facilities were top-notch. the staff were genuinely friendly, making the experience delightful. plus, the building itself has such a beautiful charm!

had a gr8 stay for 3 nights. renata was super nice n helped us out a lot, felt like home! room was comfy and hotel is quiet, surrounded by nice parkland for walks. close to train station so it was easy to get to edinburgh festival. pretty good food too!

only downside was the room got a bit warm at night n the window didn’t open. wish there was better ventilation.

The restaurant wasn't open during my stay.

This place suits me perfectly, offering free Wi-Fi, a comfortable bar lounge, and a snack bar. The staff helped me with my luggage during my first stay, which made a great impression. I highly recommend it!

great base for exploring parks and train station access

I enjoyed my stay with easy access to Eliburn Park, perfect for weekend strolls, and the train station is only a few steps away, which made exploring the area effortless.

Couple's good escape

Had a wonderful time here. The place was beautiful and the self check-in was a breeze.

It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but still manageable.

Family with children approved

I stayed here for two nights and it was quite something. The bar area was perfect, with lovely weather, I enjoyed sitting outside, feeling the fresh air and soaking in the atmosphere.

It wasn't exactly a bargain either, but still acceptable.

I had a lovely romantic weekend here and it surpassed my previous stay in livingston. the room was cozy and beautifully decorated, creating the perfect atmosphere for our getaway. the staff were friendly and the gardens offered a serene view that added to the charm.

restaurant closed too early for dinner.

stayed at bankton house for 2 nights and it was such a nice surprise! love the mix of old and new in the room, and the nespresso machine was def a highlight for my mornings. the staff were super friendly and helpful, made me feel really welcome. the location is perfect for quick trips into edinburgh, definitely a great base to explore from. and the gardens are so pretty, loved sipping coffee in the sun!

just had a bit of trouble with noise from other guests and the breakfast timing was kinda awkward for business travellers.

I enjoyed a few peaceful nights here. The atmosphere was welcoming. I found the home-made steak pie in the bar to be satisfying after a long day. I appreciated the opportunity for a morning run along the river, which was an unexpected find despite the area being residential. It felt good to clear my head. My stay here added a nice touch to my business trip.

The bathroom could have been warmer.

Had an amazing time with friends! We explored the stunning scenery at the nearby Pentland Hills and took a beautiful walk along the Water of Leith. The rooms were comfortable and the staff were super friendly. Just a short drive from Edinburgh, it’s perfect for those wanting nature and city vibes. Definitely check out the cozy bar downstairs!

The only downside was the limited menu in the bar. could use more variety.
