Links Hotel Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

Dopo la passeggiata a Edimburgo, abbiamo cenato comodi nel ristorante sotto l'hotel, bellissimo ambiente, personale gentile e cucina di buon livello a prezzi giusti

Mis amigos y yo nos alojamos por dos noches durante el fin de semana en noviembre, he visitado el hotel un par de veces para las bebidas y la cena, pero nunca he estado.

El personal era grosero y el gerente creo aye miraban mal cuando pasabas" quizás de tesco" cuando dije a mi amigo lo extraño es que el vino rosado es mucho más barato en tiendas. Hamburguesas eran repugnante seco y sin sabor con bollos rancios. bebidas son caros y la señora no podía medir las bebidas.

Very friendly staff, great food, clean and not overly crowded when I went there. I stayed at the Hotel in the same building, and enjoyed it very much too.

Parte de 10 para comer al aire libre Early Bird y bebidas. Llovió, así que nos trasladamos a un lujoso cuero interior comedor privado. Las opciones de menú y un bar amplio para cerveza y whisky se filtra. Todo el mundo estaba encantado. Recomendado por Edimburgo MD y su familia que cené con nosotros.

Ambiente encantador, amable, un servicio de primera clase y excelente comida. Los mejillones son excepcionales. Decidimos escapar del ajetreado fringe y fuimos a los enlaces para un almuerzo tarde ayer, a sólo 20 minutos a pie de Princes Street. Tan bien que volveremos para la cena esta noche.

He ido a los enlaces durante años pero desde la última vez que estuve allí tiene nosedived.

Schöner Pub mit allem was dazu gehört und leckeren "Fish and Chips" direkt am gleichnamigen Hotel am Park. Bei entsprechendem Wetter kann auch schön draussen gegessen/getrunken werden.

Limited choice on the menu especially for vegetarians. There was no specials board so first meal was okay but to eat there again the night after was very limited and it was rather off putting eating as the place was filling up for quiz night

we stayed overnight in the hotel and dined before the theatre having Haddock and chips - just fantastic

La comida era deliciosa en el hotel. Disfrutamos de té de la tarde, así que decidimos volver al hotel para la cena. Teníamos eglefino y patatas fritas y no nos decepcionó. La comida estaba bien presentada y las raciones eran extremadamente generoso.

Lovely meal in the library bar. Super atmosphere very relaxing. Good value early evening menu and great cocktails. Staff are extremely nice.

Took my step-son & family to The Library Restaurant in the Links HotelVery good, fresh pub grub served by friendly, efficient teamGood choice on menu & excellent value for moneyWill be back!!

Went on the spur of the moment and very glad that we did. Very nice decor, professional and friendly staff and excellent food at ridiculously low prices. A good varied menu with well cooked dishes and very generous helpings. We will certainly be back.

In a super sunny day, we enjoyed the garden of "The Library", in a quite, elegant atmosphere. We got a sandwich (one of the best ever eaten) and a fish main course with parmesan cream (superbe!!).Also, they have a great selection of italian wine, perfect for the dishes we selected.Absolutely recommended!

We enjoyed a tast meal here, cooked to order, nicely presented and the staff were very cnsiderate in checking ingredients used to advise on what we could eat because of food allergies.

We stayed here near New Years Eve and absolutely loved this hotel. It is a short walk into the main centre however the room was lovely and very big. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant in the hotel was god quality food and great prices. Would stay here every time.

We booked a table but arrived early to see the 6 Nations Rugby in the bar where there was a brilliant atmosphere. We were then shown through to the restaurant where we had a fantastic meal, fish and chips for me and smoked haddock for my husband. He has 25 years of experience in the hospitality/catering profession in the UK, Ireland and USA and was very impressed. With a bottle of wine, pudding and coffee the bill came to £66 which we though was very reasonable. The service was excellent too and we'll definitely be going back!

Been here before and food was ok so decided to try it again. Was a bit disappointed this time. The 3 meals we ordered turned up at different times. Food was not bad to be honest problem was the way the fish and chips was served. They serve it in a basket which isn't very practical in my view as they put the fish on top of the wedges which makes it hard to just cut a piece of fish to eat. Wedges are quite big and dry too. The other 2 dishes were fine except they forgot the fries with the mussels don't think this should happen. All in all food was ok but simple silly mistakes lets it down.

We purchased a voucher deal through Living Social for a choice of platter each, including a bottle of wine to share. Booking was taken by Rachel, who was extremely helpful and friendly. She also served us, together with another charming gentleman. We had the hot grill platter and seafood platter, which were both excellent. The sticky toffee pudding (made on the premises), was the best we've tasted and not over sweet like some we've tried. We were made to feel very welcome it was extremely good value. We hope to return and would highly recommend.

Modernly converted hotel with tasteful decor and excellent friendly staff. Breakfast was good. Would definitely return.

Lovely to sit outside and have a drink. Food was not unpleasant, average pub food. Limited menu probably for ease, pasta was too spicy (should have asked first) and portions were probably more suited to lunch than dinner. Reasonably priced.

I went with some friends for a dinner out and I loved it. The food was tasty and the terrace outside is wonderful. I ordered a glass of red wine which was pretty good too. The manager of the bar/hotel came outside to check and ask if everything was ok; very nice gesture. I recommend the nachos!!!

Went round and watched a World Cup match at the hotel. Despite being very busy ordered some food. Portions were enormous and very good. Recommend the fish and chips. Staff were very polite and attentive even though they were mobbed. Would highly recommend and I am a very fussy eater.

Went to the links for an evening of World Cup action, food and beers. Sadly the football was amajor letdown but the food (and beer of course) more than made up for it. The chilli beef nachos would have fed a family of four and the quality of the beef was superb. Can't wait for my next visit already!!!!!

A friend and I had been looking forward to afternoon tea at the Links for a couple of weeks, and we finally managed to find a Sunday afternoon to fit in with our busy schedules. We started with prosecco which was nice, but then they brought out the pot of tea immediately, which meant that it had over-stewed by the time we'd finished our prosecco. When the stand came out with a selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes, it was laughable. The assorted sandwiches consisted of cheap, thin, stale brown bread with grated cheddar, half of which had tomato...apparently this constitutes an assortment...The number of sandwiches was also embarrassing, three tiny fingers each, less than 2 slices of bread each. The "scones" were AWFUL. We were given half a scone each, which seems a bit stingy considering how cheap they are to make. These too were stale, and very dense. We also weren't given any butter for them, which might have helped with their dryness. Finally, the cakes. We were served a burnt orange cake, that actually wasn't too bad, and a very sticky brownie type thing. We noticed another table were given caramel shortbread and we were disappointed when our's didn't have the same. Also, they were served a whole scone each, although I did notice that they didn't eat their's, so they must have been as bad as ours. I wouldn't recommend this afternoon tea to anyone looking for a pleasurable way to spend their afternoon. Total waste of money.

We went along as a group of 4 on a very sunny Saturday afternoon for a Groupon Afternoon Tea. All 3 of the outdoor sections were very busy, with no tables available so we went inside and found a table by the window. Afternoon tea and sports bar don't particularly sit well together, but, due to the nice weather, there weren't too many people interested in the rugby on the tv's so it wasn't as noisy as it might otherwise have been. I don't know if they had expected the Groupon deal to be so successful, as there was only one young waitress servicing the tables inside and outside, and she was literally sprinting through the bar to keep up with everything. She didn't quite catch from our voucher that we were a group of 4, two of whom had been delayed trying to find parking. By the time the two Prosecco arrived, the remainder of our party had turned up, yet we had to point out that they were yet to order. Eventually, everything was served and looked quite nice, until we tried the scones. Totally inedible! Whoever had made them had been heavy handed with the bicarboante of soda. We pointed this out and were told that a new batch were just about ready and they would be brought to us once they were. When they arrived, there were only two, with fresh jam and cream; there were 4 of us in the party. When we pointed this out, another two were brought, minus the cream and jam, but with a strawberry! They were also nothing like the originals; bigger, softer, fresher and tasty, but nowhere near warm, so I doubt the "new batch" had been prepared on the the premises. Looked suspiciously like Greggs! Overall, not the best afternoon tea. Service was a chaotic and not attentive. A pleasant enough couple of hours but owing more to the company than the venue or the Afternoon Tea experience. Wouldn't recommend.

We popped along here on Sunday with a super £10 Groupon deal. All the food was freshly prepared and the tea tasted wonderful. The restaurant was modern, clean and tidy with ample on street parking. With this kind of deal, we would return every week - just should have bought more vouchers! Go on, spoil yourselves!

This bar sells itself as a sports bar. In fairness it has plenty of screens to watch although with the high stools at tables and low position of screens, some are impossible to see.We choose this bar to meet friends for the Scot/Eng rugby match. We booked a table to eat at 1pm and watch the pre game.The place was jumping(as we expected) however we had to ask at 1.40pm to place our order, we then had to chase the food up at 2.40pm. The food was good.By now the place was mobbed, the bar was well under staffed and getting a drink was absolutely impossible.We managed to get a drink for the start of the game and that was it until the end of game. One friend spent the whole second half at the bar with no result.The bar staff were under pressure and who I think was the "bar Manager" was rude and not coping!!They could have made a packet that day, but sadly were unprepared for such a big event.Nobody is a winner here..I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS BAR FOR A BIG MATCH.

Around 40 of us went to the Link for our Christmas party last week. This was our second year there following a good experience last year. We had the use of two rooms and gathered first for a much enjoyed glass of mulled wine. The dining area is a good size and we helped ourselves to a buffet meal. The food was hot and plentiful with two dishes to choose from. It was exceptionally good value and we all enjoyed our evening there.

I was visiting Edinburgh recently on a business trip, and I stayed at this small and cozy hotel. I didn't pay the bill, so I cannot say much about the value for money; they seem to have reasonable rates. The room was spacious and fully renovated. Nice and clean bathroom; perfect views over the park (I got one beautiful room in the first floor with wide windows).Pros: Great location, nice neighborhood, excellent rooms.Cons: Internet didn't work that day. The first floor gets sometimes noisy. They failed to find a gadget I left in my room, even when I called them back the same day.

Went for lunch here at the weekend and was extremely disappointed. Menu looked promising, however the "Posh chicken kebab" was rank and completely tasteless, a complete rip off at £9.00. Nice looking bar since refurbishment but unfortunately unable to deliver on the food and charging ridiculous prices for what rubbish is served to customers. Wasn't even asked by staff how our food was, hence the feedback here. Used to get nice simple bar food at reasonable prices at the Links bar and good atmosphere...not any more! No wonder place is deserted these days. Save your money and give this place a miss!

I reserved a table for myself and two others in the restaurant for lunch today. The reception desk was unmanned when we arrived and a member of the bar staff showed us to our table, in the library, an attractive room. There were no other diners in this room or the dining room. The menu was limited, not a bad sign because that can usually be taken to mean that the food doesn't come from a well stocked freezer. We were to find out how limited the menu really was! One special of the day, chicken Caesar salad was not available due to their being no chicken. This ruled out the chicken dishes on the menu. The replacement choice of Moules Mariniere was also unfortunately not available because all the mussels had been used yesterday, a really busy day our waitress said. The next choice, seafood platter unfortunately could not be provided because the restaurant had run out of fish, which did for the fishcakes and the other fish dish. That piece of bad news was delivered by another waiter; not surprisingly the original waitress did not want to continue reporting recurring deficiencies. In addition to the absence of food, the same difficulty appears to have afflicted the manager because he did not arrive either despite our waiting for him. So we got up and left for another restaurant which was able to provide the food offered on the menu.I live near the Links Hotel and this visit was a trial to consider whether the restaurant could be included in our regular dining out schedule - much will have to change before this will be possible and I will not be checking unless I hear many good reports in the future.

I should start by saying it was the bar that I ate in rather than the restaurant, although I get the impression that the restaurant is just an extended area at the back of the bar. The Links is an excellent place for adrink on a sunny day with excellent outside area to front but I'd draw the line there. I went with my two year old for a snack at lunch. The bar was empty, no obvious menus - was told they were on a table under blackboard. Not bad bar food selection but I needed something for a 2yo. A kids menu was produced as well as a kids pack (nice touch). Ordered a chicken/bacon/lettuce sandwich with fries and pasta for 2yo. Took a full 25 minutes to arrive, the pasta was cheesy with a slice of grilled packet garlic bread. My 2yo gave it a miss, but not all their fault she is fussy, but the bread was inedible to a youngster, dry and uninteresting.My "sandwich" was on a toasted french loaf, which had dried out somewhat The chicken had been chargrilled and was tasty, the bacon cold.All in all not a success and not particularly cheap. Wasn't a case that the food was inedible, just bordered on ordinary.Service wasn't great, one guy super efficient but he seemed to be delivering food and clearing up. Stood at bar to pay and had one of these invisibility moments despite having just served someone next to me....As sais at top, if visiting stick to the drinks!

Maybe we were just very unlucky, and I do feel a little harsh writing this because the waiting staff did apologise profusely that they had unforseen staff shortages on the evening we visited but nonetheless we felt a little let down by the whole experience.The menu looked good, luckily really because we were sat for a good ten/fifteen minutes without even a drink, reading it while we waited on someone coming to take our order.The food was well presented but when it did finally arrive it arrived mostly cold or lukewarm.Wile the staff were extremely apologetic they offered no discount on our bill to compensate for the mediocre meal.

Stay here often. Rooms way above what you'd expect for the price. New manageress Jackie making some visible changes. Menu more choice and less heavy. Some nice new touches. Stay here on my own and feel safe. Recommend. Great range of beers including famous local Deuchars.

We ate in the bar which was a comfortable setting but lacked atmosphere, the service started off excellent but was affected when a large party arrived, as there was only 1 staff member on duty it was a while before we could settle our bill. Apart from that the food was excellent and cheaper than expected due to the popular central Edinburgh location. The venue was clean and worth a visit to make your own opinion.

The wife and I had a lovely night out at the restaurant and were not disappointed. Nice size steak served with tomato mushroom and beautiful chips. All well presented and with good service. Will be back

Have been staying here with work a lot lately. New menu better than previously Spanish one. Staff and chef are brilliant. Chef tonight created me a pasta dish that wasn't on menu. Nothing too much trouble. This is a lovely hotel and rooms fab but the people make it. Not gourmet food but good reliable

A prestigious location, long established in the Edinburgh scene, has been given a makeover to both fabric and product. Lots of space in a versatile big bar, nicely presented adjacent restaurant allow 'mix-and-match' versatility between bar and restaurant, and combinations thereof. Given the plentiful competition, both down- and up-market within a small radius in Bruntsfield/Tollcross the menu cannot afford to be too adventurous, and succeeds in doing the basics really well. Friendly informal but professional service complete the package, which isn't the cheapest (Who wants that? Go elsewhere), but excellent value.

What a refreshing change to get superb food, superb service & views for a reasonable price. On arival were met with smiling faces and seated in a small but very comfortable bar area to view the menu (we'd turned up a wee bit early) the staff were attentive (the right balance between giving us time and taking our orders) the food was top notch & the atmosphere was relaxing - can't praise the staff enough or the food or the setting - will most definately return

We only stayed one night our first night away since our daughter had been born, we were looking to relax in a quiet modern hotel. We arrived on the sunday and we were greeted by the Manager and shown our room within minutes so we could start to relax. Our room was big modern and tastefully decorated. We had a drink at the bar and the barman organised a taxi for us to take us to dinner, we thought that was really nice to do that. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic great coffee, food and service. Overall we had a lovely relaxing hotel in a very friendly hotel. The location was quiet but a stones throw from Princes street, Royal Mile. We will be back. Thanks to the staff for making our night away a relaxing quiet one.

After a recent refurbishment, The Links Hotel now offers an excellent Sports Bar serving good bar meals and a stylish restaurant serving good food in classy surroundings. Both the bar and the restaurant menus offer interesting choices. Service in both was exemplary. Deserves to succeed.
