The Balmoral Hotel Reviews

The Balmoral Hotel - Edinburgh

United States, November 2023

The beauty of this hotel is breathtaking, from the stunning decor to the impeccable bathroom. the bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows and sheets were luxuriously smooth. the location of the hotel is superb, with key attractions just a short walk away. We also enjoyed the convenience of having excellent spa facilities and a reasonable-sized pool on site.

Our room was quite hot and the window wouldn't stay open, which made it uncomfortable at times. Additionally, the service at the bar was slow due to a lack of staff.

A Dreamy Wedding Anniversary at the Balmoral. Our junior suite with stunning city views made our stay truly magical. The staff provided exceptional service, and we indulged in a delightful pillow menu. The prosecco and macaroons in our suite added the perfect touch of luxury. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Loved the beautifully decorated rooms and the attention to detail, especially the underfloor heating in the bathroom. the Nespresso machine and complimentary water in the room were great perks. the location was perfect, just a short stroll from the train station. the swimming pool was clean and refreshing, and we enjoyed the complimentary tea, water, and newspapers. the staff were friendly and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable.

The spa experience was disappointing. My treatment appointment was changed twice and then ultimately cancelled without prior notice.
