Excellent location, clean comfortable rooms - bathroom newly refurbed would def stop here again

Property was comfortable enough. My room was at the top nice views and clean...but the 69 steps to get there every time nearly killed me!! Breakfast was continental and really good. Get there quick because when it’s gone ITS GONE!! So don’t wait till last minute to get your breakfast. Staff helpful and they work hard.

Delicious breakfast, helpful staff and lovely room. It's great that you can leave your luggage for the day after you've checked out. Also, the location is excellent (close to sights, but not too busy/loud).

Staff is nice, location is good, and it is very clean with nice bathrooms in the rooms.

An easy 9 minute walk from Waverley train station and even closer to the Bus Station and the tram stops for the Airport. it is also close to the main shops in the New Town and numerous bars and eating places. Very helpful staff and we were able to leave our luggage after checking out. Would definitely book again for a trip to the city and/or the Fringe.

The Night Receptionist, Patricia, was absolutely outstanding. She was very helpful to us, had an excellent attitude and very friendly personality. The other staff were all helpful as well. Also, the room was nice and large.

Mainly it’s convenient position and handiness to The Portrait Gallery and Henderson’s Vegetarian Restaurant.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable. The location was the best part as it was easy to walk everywhere.

Location was close to attractions and restaurants. Location was safe. Architecture was lovely.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Ballantrae Hotel. The hotel is very centrally located and just yards from the tram terminus in York Place. Checking in was easy and very efficient. Our room was very spacious, warm and beautifully decorated. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The ensuite shower has got to rank up there with the best! Continental breakfast was filling with plenty of choice. Overall excellent value and The Ballantrae Hotel is certainly a place we would consider staying again.
