Livingston Lodge Hotel

Everything is not bad, just the shower is poor.

Friendly staff

Easiest check in / check out ever!

Engineer stayed to ere and said he felt unsafe. Alot of long term residents. With drug issues Will not be recommending

We chose this lodge hotel because all the other hotels nearer to Edinburgh was too expensive. But the location wasn’t convenient for those who don’t have a car. The first night, because it was Sunday, the closest train station’s train ended very early, and we had to use the farther station, Livingston South, instead of Livingston North. We asked the hotel to send a taxi to the station. It was raining and cold and we had to wait for a while. The next morning, it was Monday, we walked to the closer train station, Livingston North, about 10min walk, and the train was nice and punctual. So, if you use trains, be careful with the train schedule. Especially on weekends. On the way back to the hotel, we rented a car at Waverly station, it wasn’t that bad. The room was small, but OK enough. The shower had no problem. Wifi was good.

The room smelt of stale smoke. When I reported it, the staff were dismissive and handed me a can of spray. The food in the adjoining restaurant was overpriced and a very ordinary standard.

It's a nice place, ageing a little. Staff are friendly and helpful. There's not a lot to do in the area. There are a couple of supermarkets and fast food places. There is some public transport but the buses run infrequently and it's always a little hike to get to the stops. The train connection is okay, it just takes 20mins to get to the station.

My 4 day stay was very good .I would stay again.

Room was terrible. No soap or gel in bathroom. Door to bathroom was very hard to open and close. It looked like a new floor was put down but door was not adjuster to fit new floor. Will say towles were great big and fluffy.

There was no breakfast available on the property. That was a dislike. I had to go to z local baker for breakfast.

This wad a disappointing stay. The area and noise from the bar did not make the experience very enjoyable.

Avoid booking!!!! Failed to deliver what a standard bathroom of hotel should provide - poor condition with no toiletries, water cannot be gone in bathing area, your foot will just keep soaking in the dirty water. Didn't meet the criteria of what they list out. Tried to ask for staff's assistance but they just said nothing can help with. What a nightmare to stay in this 'hotel'.

It was a good place for the two nights

Hotel was nice for my stay. Its a bit outdated but overall nice quiet area. Didnt know that the reception area did not open until check in time at 2pm and it was disappointing after being delayed and not being able to checkin but let me tell you. Im so sorry i didn't get the receptionist/maids name but she saw us outside and opened up just to let us in. Thats called Great Customer Service. Plus she checked on us and made sure we settled in. Thank you to her.

A bit run down

This property is fine if you just need a one night stay near Edinburgh airport, but would not vacation there for a longer time.

Compact and uncomplicated. Good wifi.

Chambre petite, pas de petit déjeuner proposé lors de notre passage

No staff around to complain, and the one I did speak to did not care. Wet carpet in room, obviously from issue in bathroom where water not draining away. A terrible place in a terrible area.

Our trip was to visit friends and we booked here to be close to them however the room was small and basic the bed wasn’t very comfortable and we didn’t see any reception staff except the trainee on our first day. Only the cleaners. It felt like a hostel with us having to lock the door when we left our room instead of an electric lock. And having a key pad to get in and out of the block. It was clean but our towels wasn’t changed for the 3 nights we stayed. Also our view was a block of residential flats straight across so we had our blind down all the time for privacy. Disappointed overall. And no breakfast at the hotel.
