My stay at the Balmoral was very pleasant; the staff, the building, my room, and the location of the hotel all play a part in this feeling, but it was the staff who made the three days exceptional. I have stayed in 5-star hotels in many countries, and this facility stands as one the best. More

The valet service was a must as parking in Edinburgh is a nightmare. From booking in at reception to our bags arriving at our room, the... More

We stayed here for a few days for the Hogmanay/New Year celebrations and it was fantastic - completely justifying the high price paid for our suite. The staff were superb - from reservation to check out. We had two small complaints (the croissants were never freshlky made that mornign and the lighting levels in the room were so low that... More
