This hotel was everything as described in the reviews. We thought the staff were polite and friendly. We knew there wasn't a lift so sprinted up the stairs! 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

While visiting a relative living in Glasgow and this being our first trip to Scotland, we felt the urge to spend a fair bit of time in Edinburgh. We decided to look for a reasonably priced hotel to spend Saturday night not too far from the great sights of Edinburgh. Arriving at Waverly train station we were kind of overwhelmed... More

Verry nice hotel! Rooms are lovely and big bathrooms are smaller but still good would recommend this to anyone! More

The location is in New Town and close to Waverly Station, however far enough removed that I didn't think noise would be a problem. On arrival, both the outside and inside of the... More

We were let down at the last minute by a letting agency for accomodation during the festival and had to spend a night here. Given the location (in the New Town, less than 10 mins walk from Waverley Station) and the festival, £240/night for a family room (4 people) B&B was not bad (Late Rooms deal). The hotel is a... More

We originally booked a triple room as we had arranged a girlie weekend for the Fringe Festival. On arrival, we discovered that we had actually been given the Quad room, which was a lovely surprise. The decor is tired, but the beds are comfy and the shower lovely & powerful. An excellent location in the centre of Edinburgh - I... More

My partner and I booked our room months and months ago when we booked tickets for the Royal Tattoo - then slowly panicked for months and months as we kept reading the new "Tripadvisor" reveiws on this hotel! We arrived Friday to a warm and friendly welcome. The bedroom was very clean, all working, and spacious - and stayed very... More
