"Such a great experience!"

"It was a dream to stay at the balmoral. The service and staff were beyond exceptional, the location was unbeatable, and the hotel was just luxurious in every way. "

"Excellent for the age of the property. Spacious rooms and friendly helpful front desk staff."

"This was actually a two night stay - two separate, sequential reservations - which the staff dealt with just fine on check-in, though despite getting my keys renewed first thing on Day 2, the keys still did not work when I got back to my room - first world problems! Biggest issue was that the hotel only had one working lift (elevator) for ten floors - you can imagine how busy that one elevator was! Breakfast was OK, though the eggs benedict was luke-warm rather than hot. Decent continental breakfast selection, but mini-croissants were not fresh, and there was a distinct lack of any fresh bread (only sliced bread for toasting) - a few baguettes would make a difference! The room was pretty spacious and comfortable and reasonably quiet. It looked a little tired in places, but nothing too troubling. The staircase used in place of the elevator service was somewhat grubby in places and not what would be expected of a 4* hotel. The exit/entry off Calton Road is a bonus for easy access to Edinburgh Waverley Station. The gym, although small in size, was well-equipped with free weights, and the steam room in the spa was a real bonus."

"Very nice hotel well situated in old town of Edinburgh close to all the sights and within walking distance of railway station. We had large room with bathroom including separate double shower. Clean and tidy, room was little careworn but otherwise all good. Tea and coffee facilities inc. There was well stocked bar with pleasant ambience, we loved the decor and general layout. Breakfast was comprehensive with plenty of choice. All in all I would highly recommend this property."

"Great staff, bar and restaurant were under renovations but they provided a grab and go breakfast which was nice"

"We had a short, one night stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. Beautiful lobby and big and clean guest rooms. Loved that they actually had a real coffee maker in the room, along with complimentary sweets. Check in was easy and we were able to have them hold our luggage (no cost) as we had to turn in our rental car. Staff was friendly and we were provided special treats at check in. We paid for the buffet breakfast, which was very good and offered a nice array of food options. We felt as though we were in a very safe area and we were able to get to Princes St and the Royal Mile quite easily. "

"This was our second stay at the George. Sadly, this time nowhere near as good. One of our two rooms had a view of a brick wall (approx 2 metres away). I raised this with the hotel and got a standard automated response from their Client Guest Services manager, who also had the temerity to suggest that we upgrade our room! The hotel hosted 3 corporate events during the 4 nights we were there. It felt more like a business hotel."

"Great central location. Very few onsite parking spaces, but secure parking nearby. Nice room. "
