Great location, staff was exceptionally helpful. Accommodations exactly as described .

Angela, United States of America

We were given the room which is on display on booking.com. And that is a great room with a very pleasant bed. The location of the hotel is great with walking distance to everything. We had two great windows in our room with a wonderful view to the north of Edinburgh. The staff that met us in the doorway was very nice and recommended us good nearby restaurants. Good taste!

Evaclaes, Sweden

The breakfast was fine. Tuna, eggs, ham, cheese and toasts were served.

Joanna, Poland

Good bathroom, bedroom an lounge good, view of city from windows was great.

Kevin, United Kingdom

Very convenient to the city centre The Hotel was clean & pleasant and the Staff were excellent - nothing too much trouble. I would recommend the Hotel.

David, United Kingdom

excellent location, comfortable rooms, friendly staff

Chryso, Cyprus

Great position (10 minutes walk from the Royal mile and, on the other direction, pretty close to a cool neighbourhood with plenty of nice restaurants and bars); rooms with a beautiful view on Edinburgh and the sea. The building where the hotel is located is an old and "historical" one, or so it seems. I liked the violet-based interiors.

Federica, Switzerland

The location was excellent and the room was large and well appointed

Susan, United Kingdom

the location was fabulous and the staff were super friendly. The place was clean and complimentary water and shortbread was a nice touch!

Pauline, United Kingdom

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

Rd, United Kingdom

Great location!

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.

눉The breakfast was ok but nothing to brag about. The light in the bathroom wasn't good enough to put make up on. Had to do that in the room itself.
눇We were given the room which is on display on booking.com. And that is a great room with a very pleasant bed. The location of the hotel is great with walking distance to everything.

“Great location to Royal Mile attractions! Nice, clean and spacious accommodation!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The front reception area was very small and crowded - uninviting. There was no elevator which was a challenge with luggage. Luckily we were put on the 'first floor' which only required hiking up three flights of stairs??! kind of confusing but we managed!
눇The hotel room was large and spacious - even the bathroom! High ceiling made for a very free and open feel! Very short walk to the Waverly train station and all the attractions along the Royal Mile which was very important to us!

눉Room was too high up for us. The staff were helpful but services in hotel were limited. As our room was in another building it felt slightly strange to go out and come in again. That was fine if the reception had have been bigger with a bar.
눇Good position in new town . Walkable distance to most tourist places and restaurants. Nice old fashioned staircases and views from the room we were in.
