Top Balm Well Hotel Reviews

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in Edinburgh! And the best helpful staff! Definitely would stay here again!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. The location was great especially if you're there for Fringe. It's very centrally located. There are only like 6-7 parking spots available which was a bit difficult. They did tell me when I checked in that their guests can park at the other Apex hotel that is a minute walk away, but I didn't know that beforehand."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"It was a brand of hotel I'm not used to, but the place was fantastic. Rooms were small, but cozy. Staff was excellent. For an additional 15 pounds I was able to check into my room at noon, which was great since my flight arrived in the morning. Easy walk to the Tram or Airport Bus. Would definitely stay here again. Wish the room had a kettle or microwave. That's the only thing I thought was lacking."

Braid Hills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the hotel was delightful, and the staff could not be more helpful"

The Abbey Residence

10/10 Excellent

"This small very unique hotel was a very unexpected surprise … don’t know why I didn’t know it existed Owners very pleasant professional Still cannot believe / understand why they charge so little - should be a ‘minimum’ of £20 more Definitely recommend and visit if in the area or just visiting Edinburgh"

Kingsley Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for travelling in and out of Edinburgh city centre, with a bus stop right outside the guesthouse. Check in with slick and smooth and Kingsley were very accommodating with an early check in after my delayed journey to Edinburgh. My room was super cute, cosy, clean and comfortable! Loved the little Scottish touches of a bottle of irn bru, water and biscuits! I had the best nights sleep after a fun filled day in the capital and would highly recommend staying here! Looking forward to another trip soon!"
