I don'r recommend staying in this hotel. Check-in is only awailable until 9pm, afterwards we had to pay extra 20 GBP, but we could only pay this sum in cash. We asked ourselves, if the Scotish tourist board knows about this. We were not informed about this before, neither the 5% charge for the room, if you pay with credit... more

We have just returned from a weekend at Balmore Guest House. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome by all the staff. We were shown our room which had been recently refurbished and was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent too - most important. We visited Edinburgh for the Tattoo and were given direction to the city... more

We stayed at the Balmore for the second time and already booked again for 2009. Lovely room, great shower, excellent breakfast with a lot different choices and above all - marvellous hospitality! Not only good value for money - much, much better! more

Great Find !

Very comfortable stay and convenient location for city centre, either by bus or walking. Room was large, well appointed and decorated in keeping with the style of an old Georgian terrace house. The en- suite, although well fitted out was extremely small - needed to step outside into the bedroom to have space to properly dry off after a shower.... more

Stayed for 5 nights.Booked into Balmore house but on our arrival we were told that we were infact staying at Bowmore house directly opposite which meant having to cross the road for our breakfast. Lovely breakfast,no complaints there. Parking a problem! We were asked to move the car twice due to some reshuffling. Before going out for the day in... more

We stayed at Balmore during the Rugby World Cup and most of Edinburgh was full up (which meant a slight price hike for the weekend). The room was clean and modern and very comfortable. Breakfast was great and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Only down side was the bathroom - the shower was little more than a trickle... more

The Balmore Guest House is a 4-star guest house in Edinburgh. We stayed here for 3 nights in September and had a twin and a single-room. The house was not fully booked - I think, we got the family room and a double next door. The twin (family) was very large, the single smaller, but OK in size. The hosts... more
