About this property

‘Black Ivy' is situated on the south side of Edinburgh in Bruntsfield which has a relaxed village feel and a unique mix of original boutique shops, artisan bakers and chocolatiers as well as great cafes, bars and restaurants and all within walking distance of the city centre. Enter the hotel bar and you would be forgiven for thinking you had stepped into another world with Black Ivy's design ethos rich in thought and attention to detail, resulting in a bar appearance which is a treat for the eyes and simply makes you think 'wow”. Housed in 3 adjoining historic and beautiful town houses the hotel is contemporary and modern, inside and out. The welcome is warm and uniquely Scottish where you immediately feel part of the family and realise you have just discovered your new home from home. Above this coolest of bars with its live music, tank beer, table tennis games room and extensive and original cocktail list sits our boutique 22 bedroom Hotel offering divine luxurious beds, high speed WIFI, working desk and complimentary White Company Noir toiletries. The restaurant is open from 7am for the service of breakfast through to the early hours and is popular with locals and visitors alike. Our all-day menu has been created to suit all palates and cater for any dietary requirements. The South Side, as well as being a mecca for culture lovers and architecture buffs, is dominated by the vast green space of The Meadows which sits in front of Black Ivy's garden space which houses two warming and dramatic fire pits, bespoke seating and a tropical vibe whether your sipping a cooling summer cocktail or toasting marshmallow in the winter by the fire.

We’ve stayed four times now, and this is our go-to boutique hotel. The bar has a fantastic feel and gets busy most days and evenings, and breakfast is generous, served on a skillet, with really good coffee. Reception now handles restaurant bookings too, and the staff are still very efficient and friendly. When our room card came up blank, the night manager was helpful and apologetic, and sorted it out.

There are good parks right outside for walking the dog, and the hotel is very dog friendly. The cocktails at the bar were lovely too. Our first room was uncomfortably hot because the thermostat was broken. The woman in charge came up to try to fix it, then quickly moved us to another room of the same standard. Great service. The room we ended up in was lovely, and the soundproofing was so good we couldn’t hear the bar below.

We could hear the DJ downstairs, but it didn’t bother us. The room was beautiful, clean, and had a lovely park view, and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly and attentive. We arrived Friday and found free parking outside since there’s no charge after 5:30pm. It took about 15-20 minutes by Uber to the centre, or 25 minutes on foot. I’d definitely recommend staying here.

The drinks were divine, and the staff were so lovely and helpful. We came for the festive dinner package, which included three courses and a glass of champagne, and the whole place felt warm and cozy with Black Ivy decorated for the season. I had potato and leek soup, steak, and banoffee cheesecake. The steak was disappointing, with so much fat that I couldn’t chew half of it. The other courses were just okay.
