Best Western The Hilcroft Hotel West Lothian

When we arrived by taxi we found the lobby adorably decorated for the season. We both said it was very cute. The location was perfect for us as we were visiting family and they were just an easy 5 minute walk. The room was comfy and everything we needed, except for wash clothes which don't seem to be a thing in Europe, but we had brought our own. Be aware there is no lift and our room was on the 2nd floor. So if you can't handle steps request a 1st floor room. We arrived several hours early. They told us they would find a room for us as soon as their cleaning staff could provide one. In the mean time we could wait in the lobby or check our bags and walk into town. We did the later and enjoyed the 10 minute walk into the little stretch of shops and restaurants. The hotel breakfast was typical Scottish foods, which meant the only bread choices were white or brown toast bread and potato scones. There was some cereal, fresh fruit and yogurt every day, along with a menu choice of traditional Scottish, vegetarian, and gluten free options. These included scrambled eggs, sausages (including vegan). Only bread options were white or brown toast and potato scones. I would have liked some rolls or other bread selection but that doesn't seem to be a thing in Scotland. We had a couple meals at the hotel restaurant and the food and service were very good. We also walked into town to eat a couple nights as well. My wife and I will definitely stay here again when we return to visit.

The staff at check in were very friendly and helpful, our room was spotless and very comfortable. The room was nice and warm but there was also a fan for those who get too hot. Overall a lovely stay!

Stopped on the way too and from Edinburgh Airport over a 2 week period. Two different rooms both excellent. Very clean. Hreat breakfast and friendly staff. Ideal for staying near Edinburgh with Airport about 20 minutes away and park and ride/tram station. I travel for work and plan to keep using this gem.
