Excellent location, excellent hotel. We stayed in the Balmoral for 3 nts, 3 children and 3 adults. While researching on tripadvisor we were debating staying here or at the Scotsman but the balmoral seemed to be more child friendly from the reviews and we were delighted with our choice. The Scotsman is just next door but the Balmoral stands out... more

While this hotel is very good it does not prove good value for money and we felt a little ripped off. The location is perfect situated on Princes street and inbetween the Old and new Town. We had asked for quiet rooms and were very pleased with our top floor classic doubles as they were well above street noise level.... more

I had no idea it was a hotel of this international quality, and we were pleasantly stunned. The toiletries were lovely, and... more

My family and I stayed here in May to celebrate my 40th birthday. The hotel is simply the finest in Edinburgh and we loved every minute of our stay. The location is perfect right in the centre of everything. The staff could not do enough and I even had a special cake and personal chocolates made for me by the... more

Worth a viist: The good: - Location excellent - Afternoon tea a highlight and must - Front desk very helpful - Smaller room but huge bathroom The bad: - Room service food was not 5 star quality - My room was dusty when I arrived, more through lack of use - Avoid the 6th floor as this is the top... more

We, my husband, myself and 18m old daughter stayed for 4 nights for a family wedding, which was held in the hotel (and from what I witnessed I can recommend the hotel for a wedding too!). We had organised a car to collect us from Edinburgh airport and despite landing half an hour early the driver was already waiting for... more

The location firstly was superb right next door to the station on Princes street within walking distance of the Royal Mile and castle and all the shops. As soon as you arrive the staff are so attentive and really make you feel welcome.I was a bit... more
