Melrose Hotel Reviews
Expedia verified reviews
5/5 Excellent
"The women on reception was so friendly and helpful and interested in our stay, she's a credit to herself and to the hotel.
The staff in the dining room were all friendly and efficient too.
The room we were in was a hint on the tired side, decor wise and could've been a little cleaner.
Food both at breakfast and dinner was excellent.
Pool and sauna appeared very clean, though I only made a short visit.
Wouldn't hesitate to return again.

"Reception was warm & friendly. Restaurant service and food was good. Bedroom was slightly cool in middle of the night but not enough to spoil my stay. I will stay there again."

"This 20s rebuild of a Victorian hydro therapy hotel has truly stunning views. All rooms seemed ‘front’ facing to capitalise on those views. Honestly wonderful.
Our room was bright, painted a fresh and modern sage green and, once again, with glorious views. Bed was on the stiffer side which is my preference for comfort and shower and bath warm and strong. Pretty standard for these older hotels as part of a smaller chain.
Gym was very quiet on a Saturday evening but with plenty there and truly astonishing aircon for a hotel gym! Accessed through the pool so it was trainers off to get there. Pool seemed very kid friendly and a good size.
Definitely an ‘end of maintenance/decoration’ cycle feel to much of the hotel (especially some damp peeling ceilings) but the social areas are charming enough and the main dining room was a lovely space clearly kept fresh for weddings.
Hotel was spotlessly clean with great staff - and plenty of them! Post Brexit many hotels seemed to be suffering staff crises, not here.
LOTS to do in the nearby area, even if it’s just coffee or cake in Peebles itself.
The cocktails were (ahem) made with gusto and plenty of booze, though definitely not to traditional recipes! The ‘cocktail bar’ was more of a feel of a pub snug than a ‘modern’ cocktail bar (if that’s what you are expecting) but it’s welcoming with an open fire.
Lovely hotel but with a slightly dated feel that may take the shine off if you’re expecting ‘luxury’"
