Liked that we had our own entrance! Plenty of space to get ready for a family wedding. Fantastic shower!

Rd, United Kingdom

Motel was obliging and held our large luggage while we undertook an overnight tour with limited luggage space. This was absolutely appreciated.

Tammy, Australia

Large clean rooms and courteous staff. Period buildings so you have to expect some of the quirky aspects. Excellent location for visiting Edinburgh.

One of our top picks in Edinburgh.

In the heart of Edinburgh city centre, the historical Ballantrae is an elegant Georgian hotel. The shops of Princes Street and George Street are just a few minutes’ walk away.

Each room has a TV and tea and coffee making facilities.

There is a residents’ bar for guests to relax in, and a breakfast room where a continental breakfast is served in the morning. The front desk team are available for any queries 24-hours a day.

Waverley Rail Station can be reached in about 5 minutes’ walk, and Edinburgh Castle is a 15-minute walk away. The Ballantrae also offer 5 free city centre parking spaces for guests.

New Town is a great choice for travelers interested in shopping, food and sightseeing.

This is our guests' favorite part of Edinburgh, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9 for a two-person trip.

눉A very confusing entry. Could not find the reception counter for good half an hour. The place where name of hotel was written is actualy a room directly accessed from Road always remains closed from inside. There is no reception lounge even. One passage being used as counter. Rooms window blinds are non functional. Even if a good view thru window, you cant see. Poorly desined bathrooms with very small and sloppy tub and showe area. Because suddenly cold water started coming from shower in middle of hit water and narrow and slippery shower space I slipped and hurt myself badily. But nobody attended even after calls. Second day there was no replacement of tea, cofee, water etc and no housekeeping staff comes on call. Overall a realy pathetic experience. Not recommended at all.

“Edinburgh but not for long enough”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I made an initial error in not realising there was no lift. When I did I contacted the hotel requesting a ground or minimal stairs room given that I was travelling with an older person. We had two bookings. This was attached to one only resulting in a top floor booking. Hairs through the bathroom on our second stay. Poor cleaning that day. First stay was very clearn
눇We were moved into a room off the top floor which was good after a booking mix up that included a request for a ground floor room was overlooked. We ended up in a lower ground floor room with an extra bed. Room was spacious. Beds were comfortable stairs were awkward for my mother but help was forthcoming from staff with luggage.

눉relatively close to city center.
눇Very unconfortable bed, the matress practically broken, I could hardly sleep. Very small room and no common spaces at all, apart from a tiny cafeteria for breakfast. Staff distant and poorly helpful, they dindn´t even had a map of the city. A bad choice.
