Was Gäste sagen

Im The Balmoral Hotel loben Bewertungen durchweg den warmherzig aufmerksamen Service, die elegante historische Umgebung und die zentrale, fußläufige Lage in der Nähe des Bahnhofs Waverley, während einige auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in Frage stellen und gelegentliche Mängel in Bezug auf Zimmer oder Verpflegung erwähnen.

Viele genießen den Pool, den Spa-Bereich und das Fitnesscenter, und mehrere heben entspannende Spa-Behandlungen hervor. Die Zimmer sind oft komfortabel und geräumig, obwohl einige sie als veraltet, klein oder laut empfinden und es kommt gelegentlich zu Problemen mit der Instandhaltung. Das Frühstück und die Brasserie Prince erhalten gemischtes Feedback, von ausgezeichnet bis chaotisch oder nicht preiswert, während Number One und die Bars weithin gelobt werden. Erwarten Sie klassischen, historischen Luxus in erstklassiger Lage, zu Premium-Preisen.

Please do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on staying in the nicest place in town. If you want to be treated like royalty -with the best food and service anywhere in Scotland- stay here! I cannot rave enough about the spa either. I sincerely felt like I had died and gone to heaven after my massage. The food was so good. Best of all, we were assisted with our luggage getting into the hotel from our rental car and heading out to London via the train station next door.

A very central location, the concierge staff were incredibly helpful. We felt pampered the whole trip! We also received massages, facials and hand/foot treatments from the spa on premises. All were very relaxing and the staff professional. I felt there could be more preparation of tools in the room that the staff needed but it did not hinder the benefits of the treatment.

Fantastic Hotel with amazing service. The whole property is outstanding in every way. If you want a great workout with an amazing spa afterwards this is the place. Good gym layout dumbbell and a good squat rack with bar and plate. Workout area is broken into 4 rooms giving it a spacious and private feel when working out. The steam room was wonderful with a clean fragrance of mint in the air. The breakfast was good but the service was outstanding. Every member of the staff at this hotel were outstanding. Friendly and extremely attentive. The Bar at the Prince served incredible oysters and excellent Korean chicken wings. But the true highlight was the drinks and service. This bar has a great mature vibe with extremely good staff. Lastly when you enter into the Lobby they have a huge arrangement of flowers that give this area a marvellous not overpowering fragrance that continues to add to the ambiance.

I loved every single thing about this hotel, which must be one of the best in the world. My husband and I went on our honeymoon here and were met with professionalism, courtesy, and kindness everywhere. Also, the spa facilities such as gym and pool were top notch. Perfect temperatured water, the best equipment, nothing was lacking. Also, the building is gorgeous. In summary: We've been to many great hotels all over the world but this was the best we've ever been too.

We visited Edinburgh for the first time in February. After a recommendation, we booked our stay at The Balmoral Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most helpful staff who continued to provide a fantastic level of service until we checked out. The comfort and cleanliness of the rooms is second to none. If I return to the city, The Balmoral will be my first port of call.

We enjoyed staying at the Balmoral Hotel. It was in an excellent location. Room was quiet, clean, and nicely decorated. Toiletries were excellent (for the women out there!) We had afternoon tea downstairs. It was excellent except for people parading through with their luggage. For the price we paid, we expected not to see people using the room as a thoroughfare. Maybe the hotel could put signs out to direct people to another route. Overall, I would recommend The Balmoral Hotel. Really enjoyed it and would stay there again.

The view from my room window was stunning , straight out onto the castle and princess street . Windows opened a bit as it was very warm so that’s a plus . It felt a bit cramped and I was glad I had travelled alone . Windows were double glazed and room Was quiet at night . Breakfast is phenomenal, if you are someone who can stock up and last all day then this is for you . Sadly I am a grazer !! I found the cleaning invasive , phone chargers coiled and wrapped , my dirty washing pile in the wardrobe was hung up on hangers !!! Then when I discovered they wanted to charge me for them putting those silly cushions back on the bed twice a day I felt narked . I felt I had already paid and wished I had said once a day was enough especially as things like biscuits and milk aren’t refreshed daily . Maybe I am nit picking ?!! Love the stair carpets and stained glass windows on stair well . Love Edinburgh but not sure I would the extra for here again .

Amazing hotel overall - amazing pool, great breakfast, historic vibe. Nevertheless, I would question the value for money, especially if you can only get one of the „classic rooms“ on the top floor (under the roof with small windows). Also, don’t like that they automatically add a „discretionary gratuity“ of 5% to the final bill. Does not feel right for a a hotel at this level.

Stayed at the Balmoral several times over the years. It continues to provide a timeless sense of security in a busy world. Concierge were just brilliant nothing is too much or too difficult. Brasserie Prince is described as chic and relaxed according to the website, nothing could be further from the truth. Breakfast is chaotic and shambolic, nothing like a 5 star hotel experience, more premier inn!! Dinner was shocking, noisy, poor service and average food. So bad we wouldn't stay at the Balmoral again until the hotel and Rocco forte get a grip.

What I didn't like.. The breakfast. In the states most hotels (both cheap and expensive) include breakfast. I paid 35 lbs for a breakfast that wasn't worth $3. Cold runny scrambled eggs. Nothing on the buffet table was especially inviting. Service was nice, and table clean, etc. The following days, we went down to McDonalds and had better meal for 8 lbs. For the price that we paid, you could do better and not charge so much.
