    Fantastic zoo with an array of animals.

    Fantastic zoo with an array of animals. Most have escaped from Easter Road & wear Green & White Scarfs.... Go by the animal name of BAMS. The only downfall apart from this type of animal is that the zoo is on a massive inclined hill..!!! can be very tiring for kids.

    Fantastic day out at zoo was dry day not too hot.

    Fantastic day out at zoo was dry day not too hot. Go straight up to the top and work way down it’s a steep hill but take it slow. We - 2 adults - spent 4 hours there. Go for opening time 10am. Have good breakfast before you go nine if the food booths seemed to open until about 12. One restaurant near the bottom which we didn’t use as had brought snacks. Toilet blocks situated in quite a lot of places. Think there is a van that will take you up to top if poor mobility or little kids but unsure if this c is free. Plenty to see the day we went. Huge gift shop on way out. A great place to spend a day

    Fantastic Zoo with a wide variety of animals, love the Panda's and the Tigers, STaff full of knowledge. Hint - go when it is cold and raining as the animals are more active and come out. In the heat of summer they stay in their huts and cannot be seen

    We had a great day at Edinburgh zoo.

    We had a great day at Edinburgh zoo. In the few years since we were last there, they've made some great improvements. The chimpanzee area was amazing-I could have sat and watched them playing all day. The Sloth was another lovely addition as were the giraffes......it would be great for the zoo to offer giraffe feeding for a few pounds as an optional extra

    Is beautiful and the animals well taken care of, thought the habitats were small for some animals. Wear walking boots/shoes, as it is all hill. No joke. Prams will be hard to push on some parts and your thighs will feel the burn. Really nice day out though.

    Had a great day out with my friend and her 10 month old little boy. The variety of animals available to see was great. The little one LOVED the flamingos and the rhinos. Be prepared for a lot of uphill walking.

    Very nice breakfast and lovely, attentive staff . The room was quiet and warm with a spacious bathroom. The hotel is quite a way out of the city centre, but the local transport links are excellent and very straightforward. It is also within walking distance from Edinburgh Zoo.

    A good breakfast, a nice-sized room with comfy beds, mostly friendly staff. A good location for families, especially if you like zoos, and the Edinburgh Zoo right next door is worth visiting. Probably too far out of the city centre for anyone looking to enjoy a night out.

    Stayed here to visit Edinburgh zoo - about 10 mins walk away. Had a very large room for a family of 4. Bed not the most comfortable I've ever slept in, and the curtains were very thin so didn't really shade the light in the morning. The road outside is quite busy and no double glazing, so not the place if you want a lie in in the morning! Breakfast was ok.
