United KingdomIf you push me hard I would perhaps say the wallpaper in bedroom would not be my first pick. But if you need a family treat, the Balmoral is your
The location is 10/10. It is one of Edinburgh’s landmark. It has a great pool and allows family swimming at all times. But the most important thing is the attention to detail. We had booked as a family as in so many other “family friendly” hotels before. But at the Balmoral they had equipped the room with kids dressing gowns, a secure step in the bathroom so the kids can brush their teeth, kids shampoo and lots of little welcome presents. Clearly they won our kids over with the biscuits With the Number One Restaurant on Site, we were able to enjoy a grown up birthday dinner with kids enjoying room service and a movie. It was very memorable.

Quality of breakfast slightly sub standard. Coffee only warm, bacon tough and strawberries over ripe.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I did mention to a lady at reception that Room 514 is a beautiful room, with stunning views , but the lovely bathroom has a bath that is not easy to get in and out of if , like my husband , you are less supple than you were, and have early vascular dementia . Fortunately , we managed and we still would give the hotel full marks.

Just great. Super staff who couldn’t have done more to help us. We were staying for Harry Styles and Alan, the driver organised by the hotel, was fantastic.

United States of Americaperfect location for walking Old Town & New Town - also next to train station. The scotch tasting at The Balmoral was excellent & not touristy. The bartender’s were knowledgeable and very nice.

One of the best hotel stays ever! The Balmoral is exquisite in every way, their customer service was exceptional, and it was truly a 5-star hotel!

Swedennothing bad to say at all about this beautiful hotel
Most of my life decisions were made in this hotel. From choosing what Uni I went to and my husband proposing to me here so it holds a lot of good memories . I even decided to apply for a job whilst taking High tea here! I love the facilities, and the view from our room was breathtaking. The service is impeccable ! Worth every penny ! We will be back for many years to come.
