Fantastic experience: Wonderful pool and gym with fantastic staff. There are a range of fitness classes, a nice gym with personal training included (Craig is awesome!), and of course, the main attraction, the beautiful pool. I am delighted to have such an option in Edinburgh.

Anton 1 year ago

Negative experience: Weekends closes at 15:00. The only days you can actually enjoy it. This guys are glueless and don’t understand that most people want to workout on their days off Saturday and Sunday.

Richard Findlay 1 year ago

Positive experience: Victorian Restored Baths/Swimming Pool with excellent sauna and steam room. Inexpensive and not overly busy. I gather there are gym facilities but can’t comment on that aspect.

Cat Le Mash 1 year ago

Negative experience: Staff are absolutely useless. No easily available info online saying that they shut Wednesdays between 2 and 4, staff were deeply unhelpful when we arrived. They also failed to mention that the steam room was broken which was the main reason why we came. Complete time wasters and come across like they have no clue what they are doing.

David Beaumont 2 years ago

Negative experience: This beautiful old pool is being assimilated by the Borg of Edinburgh Leisure: - Forced credit/debit card usage, no cash - No direct phone line, centralised voice menu hell. - Pushing everyone to book in advance. - Expensive. Progress should mean improvement…

Fantastic experience: Every week day the pool opens at 7am and has laned swimming for different abilities, so is a brilliant way to start your work day. Sessions need to be booked in advance, but it never feels crowded. It has a steam room and sauna at the end of the pool, so it's a lovely way to relax after your swim.

Fantastic experience: A really great gym and swimming pool. Whilst gym facilities aren't particularly fancy, there's plenty in there to enable to full body workout. The facilities are spotless, the staff really friendly and classes have excellent content too. It's not ridicuinusy all the time, so plenty of space to workout without queuing for kit. The pool is fantastic, you do have to book at the moment, but I've never struggled to get in. There is space for spectators too!

Jeff Preston 4 years ago

Positive experience: Despite (or because of) the covid rules this was a great experience. Only 6 swimmers in our session meant that there was plenty room for all. Water quality and temperature was excellent. Staff kept it spotlessly clean.

Rhona McGouldrick 4 years ago

Positive experience: Water lovely and warm and changing facilities right on pool side- very convenient

Stuart Black 4 years ago

Positive experience: Great pool with great people. Unfortunately, getting in touch with anyone is impossible. An hour on hold on the phone with a repeated message over and over is not very helpful. Otherwise its a 5 start place to go!

Caroline Russell 5 years ago

Positive experience: Great swimming pool, sauna and steamroom and the staff are very friendly

Josie MacDougall 5 years ago

Negative experience: Pretty pricey compared to other city's leisure access. Also not clear what different sessions ie turned up today for public swimming and it was over-run with kids, with the only lanes being for children's lessons. This should really be advertised as a family session. If you can go when quiet, adult, only lanes, imagine it would be ok.

louise Cessford 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: mejor bano victoriana

Gareth Kirk 5 years ago

Positive experience: Lovely place to teach your children where to swim. Water is warm and showers decently warm. Got some other lovely feature such a s Gym, Sauna etc. Although we just use the pool. Lovely and deep on one side. Although this seems simpler facility, it does really well to give the small but cozy feel with good service. Also... One not so good thing is you won't be able to get a coffee while you wait... But there is a Nero and Starbucks 5min walk away.

Fantastic experience: Good Victorian swimming baths.

Matt Cornell (The Mattmosphere) 5 years ago

Positive experience: a bit dated but super friendly, plenty of staff around in case you need help or to ask questions about equipment etc. There is a steam and sauna room. There are plenty of change rooms and lockers free to use but require a pound to lock (that you get back when you're done). The weights room is small with no windows to outside but almost always I had it to myself so no problem. All the free weights look new. the cardio area (seperate to weights room and up the stairs) has 3 treadmills, 1 stair machine, rower, 2 ellipticals and a bike. plenty of mats, skip ropes etc. No TVs anywhere thank goodness! Also a few cable machines, assisted pull up etc. I'm only in town for a week and they have a 7 day 20 Pound deal to access everything, Gym + pool + sauna + steam room. Otherwise, 7 pound for single entry for gym only.

Negative experience: Good facilities and a nice place with good staff but it is so often closed for private events it is really frustrating.

Positive experience: A very nice Victoria era swimming pool. Had been refurbished a few years ago and has some nice features from that era. The public swimming pool offers paid for swimming lessons for children and also has a fitness centre.

Emma Coften 7 years ago

Positive experience: Really lovely little sports centre with good steam room, wish I had had more time there but Christmas opening hours ment they closed early. Friendly staff... Wondered if the place had a sense of humour about it's self as writen on the wall as you exit said "See you next week"... Is it implying that once a week is the best they can hope from the Scots?
