Very,very run down property in need of investment to bring it up to adequate standards. The location is great though. We left after one day even if we paid for two, as everything looked so unappealing and dirty in the room, with very bad mattresses that we could hardly sleep, put aside the shriek of seagulls waking you at 04:30 as the window is open to provide basic ventilation tomremove the mold smell. Sad because the location is great and we believe the landlords do their best -although we never heard from them.

One night stsy
Nice staff. However the hotel could do with some upgrades on the rooms. Bathroom is run down and looks like no refurbishment or painting has taken place for a long time. Could do with a paint job and replace all units. Walls are very thin. Could hear everything going on next room, even conversations.

Friendly, helpful staff. Hotel well utilised by locals. Decor could be refreshed. Cleaning staff do a great job. Food good. Beds in the twin room could be more comfortable, even mattress toppers could help. Would stay again.

Lovely stay at the Sands
What an absolute hidden gem! We stayed as a family of 4 travelling up to Scotland for the Taylor Swift concert and chose to stay outside of Edinburgh and so pleased we did! Wished we had more time to relax and enjoy the gorgeous location of the Sands but we were given a lovely warm welcome and lots of help in navigating our way to the stadium. Had amazing lunch and the breakfast the following morning was beautiful! Highly recommend this hotel.

Solo stay in November
Have not been to Burntlsand for near 20 years, the staff here made me feel right at home. I had a brilliant time, although the weather was awful, still it's autumn and Scotland so probably to be expected. But thanks to all the staff for making me feel welcome. Food was excellent especially the Scottish breakfast. Thank you all.

This was a highlight of our trip. They were very accommodating, helped us find a taxi to EDI on short notice, and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The food (dinner and breakfast) was outstanding and affordable. We'll be back to visit in the future.

The hotel is really good value for money and in an fantastic location right next to the beach. For business users breakfast doesn't start til 09:00 though, but they will make you up a packed lunch as an alternative.
