Stayed one night mid-April and were very pleased with the hotel. Good value compared to other hotels we searched in Edinburgh near the Royal Mile (10-15 minute walk) There was free parking behind the hotel (not offered by most Edinburgh hotels), an expansive continental breakfast (included in the price) (full cooked breakfast was available for extra, but unnecessary due to...

My boyfriend and I usualy stay at the George hotel when in Edinburgh, but as we didnt have as much money we decided to stay here. Fair to say we were not disapointed in the slightest. We would definetly visit here again. We had requested a good view and we ended up top floor looking right over Edinburgh which was... More

I made a booking at the Ballantrae Hotel at the West End (not this one) and when I arrived with my parents (in their 70's) there was a notice saying that it was closed due to emergency maintenance work. I was very annoyed about it but when I managed to get someone to open the door the person at receprion... More

When we arrived in the centre of Edinburgh the first thing that struck us was the amount of road works and digging... More

The location was fantastic for the station, the bus to the zoo (opposite the hotel) and come out of the hotel, turn left, walk 10 minutes and you arrive at a VU... More

My husband and I have just returned from this hotel yesterday. We were very disappointed in the hotel, not what we expected after booking through laterooms.com, nothing like the photos. We were located in the ground floor of the hotel, room 17, right next to the door for the car park. This door was constantly open and shut through the... More

We arrived at the Ballantrae hotel for the weekend and we were warmly welcomed, the hotel is within reasonable walking distance of the bus stop for the airport. We were giving the keys to our room, the room was light and airy, very clean and well maintained, the bathroom was big and pleasant, and the beds were very comfortable, after... More

While visiting a relative living in Glasgow and this being our first trip to Scotland, we felt the urge to spend a fair bit of time in Edinburgh. We decided to look for a reasonably priced hotel to spend Saturday night not too far from the great sights of Edinburgh. Arriving at Waverly train station we were kind of overwhelmed... More
