"No better place to stay in Edinburgh"
Central location, great service, quiet, well appointed rooms, gracious staff, wonderful restaurants, beautiful pool and spa with direct access to the train station. Nothing more anyone could ask for!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hells yeah"
The hotel was well run and beautifully maintained. Other than the fact that Scotland seems to want to secede from the UK there was nothing odd or wrong with this hotel and my stay was pleasant and enjoyable. I mean how can you complain about a country that wraps eggs in sausage?Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just perfect in every single way"
The Balmoral is next to the train station and within short walking distance to everything within the city that we wanted to do and see. The building itself is just beautiful and elegant and made us feel like royalty. The room and views were amazing - this hotel was perfect in every way for a romantic getaway in Scotland.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Fine service in an exquisite venue"
Our overall experience was one of perfectly balanced, personalized and highly responsive service, beautiful surroundings and fine food. My wife's only disappointment was the service at high tea, which did not reflect the quality of service in the rest of the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Supurb hotel experience"
Exceeded highest expectations. Service was coridial and engaged and extremely helpful with plans, immediately researching all information (if they didn't already know it). We had a double room reserved; the room was spacious with (I estimate) 12-14 foot tall ceilings. The spa, pool and gym areas were well-maintained and wonderful to use. The Balmoral's […] restaurants were also great (although, as would be expected, a bit pricey). Hands down the best hotel experience we have had (we typically stay in Hyatt Regency's) and will be booking at this hotel for our next visit to Edinburgh. If they are booked, we'll retime our visit.

"Wonderful experience"
I had been to the hotel with a tour 18 years ago and had wanted to return. My husband and I did this as a special 25th anniversary gift to ourselves. The staff, as you can imagine for a 5-star hotel, was superb. All requests were met in a timely and efficient manner. We ate breakfast here and it was a gourmet experience. I hope to be able to stay here […] on another occasion. If you are an American coming here for the first time, you may notice in the amenities list that the hotel is air-conditioned. This is true, but the room was cooler if you just open the window. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Edinburgh - close to train and major attractions"
Walk right up from the train station and you are there. This was one of the main reasons we picked this hotel. That and we wanted a splurge for our 11th wedding anniversary. This hotel really is 5 star in almost every way. We were disappointed that they charged for internet access and for some reason it took them a long time to return some shoes we […] set out to have shined, but when they got back they were wonderful! Almost brand new. All in all, for the cost of this hotel you are treated very well. Very convienient to the train, airport, and major attractions. The restaurants were a little on the picey side, but that is to be expected. We found reasonable restaurants within walking distance. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Balmoral"
A stunning hotel but considering the price and having booked a superior king room u thought it was a bit small. Parking a pain unless you pay for the doorman to park the car for you. Otherwise I would highly recommend it. A real luxury experienceGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Disappointed!"
So my boyfriend and I stayed here as we love Edinburgh and stay there all the time, so we thought it would be nice to stay in what is considered to be one of Edinburghs best hotels. However when we got there we were sorely disappointed. The staff were excellent but we were very disappointed with our room. What we got was nothing at all like the picture. […] Instead we stayed in a small dingy room that was not unlike a travelodge, and CERTAINLY not 5 stars (wasn't worth the price either). Very dated, old fashioned and basic. We ended up checking out and staying in the Sheraton which really was 5 stars. Would never stay in the balmoral again. Waste of money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh"
My wife and I loved our stay at the Balmoral. We had a beautiful room overlooking the city and Princes St. Very clean, very helpful staff and the best location in the city. The gym and spa service with a complimentary coffee/tea bar was very accessible for use. Anyone going to Edinburgh should plan ahead and stay at the Balmoral.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A wonderful hotel"
This was one of the best hotels that my husband and I have stayed in & we travel a lot. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and courteous and the hotel itself was impeccably kept. Our room was upgraded to a mini-suite and it was very comfortable with plenty of room to relax. Dinner at the Number One restaurant was a delight,, with unrushed yet attentive […] service for a romantic dinner that lasted for 2 1/2 hours. The location on Princes Street is perfect for access to all sites of interest and I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beste hotellet i Edinburgh"
Fantastisk flott hotell,med den aller beste beliggenheten i Edinburgh etter min mening. Stort flott rom som ble rengjort 2 ganger om dagen. Vi fikk følelsen av å bo i ett slott, topp service. Kjempegod frokost i Hadrian's restaurant, som faktisk ble kåret til årets restaurant i The Scotsman (avisa) mens vi var der. Kan forøvrig anbefale restauranten […] Number One i kjelleren på hotellet. Number One innehar en Michelin stjerne. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Jättebra hotell mitt i centrala Edinburgh. Två minuter från centralstationen där alla bussar och tåg stannar. Gång avstånd till alla turistattraktioner. Rent och fräscht samt en mycket trevlig personal. Kommer definitivt att boka här igen vid nästa besök i Edinburgh!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Ein gepflegtes, nicht zu steifes Grandhotel"
Sehr angenehm, äußerst freundliches, hilfreiches Personal, das einen Spitzenservice bot. Sauberkeit des Zimmers sehr gut. Die gesamte Ausstattung ist dem Standard dieser Hotelkategorie entsprechend. Zentrale Lage. Leider ist das Zentrum Edinburghs z. Zt. eine große Baustelle, aber dafür kann das Hotel nicht.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"In the heart of Edinburgh"
The Balmoral was amazing. The embodiment of scottish quality and "highland hospitality". The hotel was a wonderful experience in itself. Superfriendly and dependable staff. Clean and stylish rooms. We got a great view from the room. That view still warms my heart. The best view in town. Totally brilliant location to explore the town and its surroundings. […] I cannot wait to go back. If you want that extra special experience then this is the hotel to choose. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
