Did not like at all. Poor service, shabby room in the basement, tasteless breakfast...

Stayed one night mid-April and were very pleased with the hotel. Good value compared to other hotels we searched in Edinburgh near the Royal Mile (10-15 minute walk) There was free parking behind the hotel (not offered by most Edinburgh hotels), an expansive continental breakfast (included in the price) (full cooked breakfast was available for extra, but unnecessary due to...

My boyfriend and I usualy stay at the George hotel when in Edinburgh, but as we didnt have as much money we decided to stay here. Fair to say we were not disapointed in the slightest. We would definetly visit here again. We had requested a good view and we ended up top floor looking right over Edinburgh which was... More

When we arrived in the centre of Edinburgh the first thing that struck us was the amount of road works and digging... More

The location was fantastic for the station, the bus to the zoo (opposite the hotel) and come out of the hotel, turn left, walk 10 minutes and you arrive at a VU... More

My husband and I have just returned from this hotel yesterday. We were very disappointed in the hotel, not what we expected after booking through laterooms.com, nothing like the photos. We were located in the ground floor of the hotel, room 17, right next to the door for the car park. This door was constantly open and shut through the... More

We arrived at the Ballantrae hotel for the weekend and we were warmly welcomed, the hotel is within reasonable walking distance of the bus stop for the airport. We were giving the keys to our room, the room was light and airy, very clean and well maintained, the bathroom was big and pleasant, and the beds were very comfortable, after... More
