My son Max and I had a magical stay at The Balmoral. The staff were just wonderful. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay extra special for Max (age 9). Our trip to Edinburgh was a special treat because he's a huge Harry Potter fan. He absolutely loved Edinburgh and all it's Potter lore but the stay in the Balmoral was by far the highlight of his trip because of how kind everyone was to us (as well as it being a beautiful luxurious hotel of course).

Excellent hotel in a great location, not in the old town, but even better in my opinion. Extremely comfortable suite, spacious and with great atmosphere and decor. Great bed linen and bath towels. Excellent a la carte breakfast. Very polite staff.

    If you have limited time in Scotland feel free to spend your money on a few items here to say you bought them here but the prices are higher than everywhere else we were in the Scotland. Very eclectic and enjoyable part of the world. It's a must see for sure.

    So many amazing things to see on the Royal Mile. I absolutely loved it. We found a nice restuarant on the Royal Mile and had some nice ales and lunch. Dave (my son in law) and I had the haggis. Yummy.

    We did a Hop-on, Hop-off bus in Edinburgh and stopped at the Grassmarket - very interesting and a must see is the Greyfriars Kirk and Greyfriars Bobby's grave. Toured the Holyrood Castle - very interesting and a lovely gift shop.

    Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

    The real St Mary's Close.

    The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

    This hotel is ideally situated in the city centre. A short walk to the Royal mile and the castle. Beautiful and clean. Nice touch to have ‘night lights’ for those late night visits to the bathroom. Check in process was simple and friendly. As was check out. We didn’t make use of the restaurant or Spa.

    Perfect location (right beside Royal Mile); cozy room and fully equipted kitchen! Except that the courtyard where the apartment is located is lower than Royal Mile but higher than Cowgate street, so it is not so friendly to people with heavy luaguages.

    Everything about our stay at the hotel was excellent. Couldn't fault it. Really friendly helpful staff, top-notch facilities and a lovely spacious room overlooking the Royal Mile with a large and exceptionally comfortable bed. In particular, it was possible to open the window for ventilation (the specific reason we checked out of the hotel round the corner that we had originally booked!). The window had a sliding double-glazed panel, so when we wanted quiet, we could get it - the best of both worlds.

    The hotel had a great location - a few minutes walk to the Edinburgh Castle, Grassmarket Square and Royal Mile. It was beautifully decorated and the rooms were clean, spacious and very well laid out. Definitely would recommend this hotel in Edinburgh city. It does get a little crowded in the street in front of the hotel (being in close proximity to the tourist areas), but overall it was a great stay.

    Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts. Walk to the Stockbridge neighborhood, full of beautiful flats, interesting shops and cafes. Walk to the old side of the city underneath the castle for pub crawling.

  • Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood...

    Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk. On the way talk to people-some of the locals actually know a lot about their City and take a pride in it.

    St. Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old. My family attended a pipe organ recital there one evening. What an awesome and thunderous sound that huge organ made, but could produce the most delicate melodies as well. Highly recommend taking some time to study the beautiful architecture as well as the gorgeous stained glass windows and the history surrounding this or any cathedral, for there is always a history to be known.

    As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell. The city offers a number of good tours both by bus and feet for getting to know the past and how people lived. The city also offers an insight to famous personalities of the past such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rabbie Burns
