5.0 / 10.0

Everything was quite simply outstanding - staff, accommodation, food and services. This was a special birthday celebration and we were delighted to be given an upgrade to the room we had booked as well as some lovely treats. Staff could not have been more helpful and the room was just perfect. The second daily service is a delightful touch and we appreciated it so much. Thank you for making our whole stay a dream come true!

The hotel itself is a bit run down. Our room was without the typical amenities that you find at similar priced - or even cheaper - hotels.

Great short stay in Edinbruh. Super clean and very helpful staff. Particularly enjoyed the pool, gym and spa area. Holiday decorations was a bonus.

4.0 / 10.0

The front door men did not open the door for me when I arrived from the airport with my luggage. They watched me and stared as if an alien arrived. That tainted everything from that point on. Subsequent attempts to be “nice” were futile. The hotel bills itself as luxury high end and charges accordingly. At such price points, guests expect great treatment.

While the service team is very well trained and professional the property decor and rooms are not opulent as displayed online. In fact they are a bit dated and hard to justify the value for the experience.

8.0 / 10.0

Everything was excellent except the excess charges. Premium for a room, but an additional room service charge. In room dining charged 5 for the tray food delivered on. I'm surprised we weren't charged to walk on the floors or use the lift.

10.0 / 10.0

Didn't eat there. Had good tea and coffee in room with a little bottle of milk in the fridge. Wonderful room, excellent shower, bath, toiletries towels and linens. Kelly at the front desk was lovely. I go back and forth from US to Scotland a couple of times a year and will definitely be back to the Balmoral.

The Balmoral Hotel truly delivers a six-star experience. From the moment we walked into the grand lobby and enjoyed afternoon tea, we felt the highest level of hospitality. The afternoon tea here was the best we had in the UK — elegant, delicious, and unforgettable. Our room was beautiful and comfortable, with thoughtful details everywhere. The restaurant was also outstanding. Every dish was well prepared and full of flavor, making dining here a highlight of our stay. Combined with impeccable service and a perfect location in Edinburgh, The Balmoral is simply exceptional.

4.0 / 10.0

Stayed at the Balmoral several times over the years. It continues to provide a timeless sense of security in a busy world. Concierge were just brilliant nothing is too much or too difficult. Brasserie Prince is described as chic and relaxed according to the website, nothing could be further from the truth. Breakfast is chaotic and shambolic, nothing like a 5 star hotel experience, more premier inn!! Dinner was shocking, noisy, poor service and average food. So bad we wouldn't stay at the Balmoral again until the hotel and Rocco forte get a grip.

Such a beautiful hotel! I do wish they explained the key card and the lights but overall it was a great stay!

Beautiful hotel within easy walking distance of both Old Town and New Town. It is right at the exit of the Waverley Train station with many choices for shopping and restaurants nearby. The hotel itself is extremely comfortable with a great staff available to help with any request.
