Despite some minor drawbacks, my stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, although some areas were not as well-maintained as expected for a 4-star establishment. The service was exceptional, especially with Alain who went above and beyond to assist me. The location was superb, centrally situated for both shopping and exploring the city. The dining experience fell short with limited breakfast options, but the rooftop terrace compensated for it. Overall, a good value for money experience.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms offer a beautiful view of the Balmoral Clock and the old town, and having fresh milk in the fridge was such a nice touch. The service was fantastic, with helpful recommendations and even a complimentary box of shortbread. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Edinburgh with easy access to transportation. The dining experience was satisfactory with simple, yet tasty dishes. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room for improvement in dining options.

Staying in the inferior apartment turned out to be surprisingly convenient for me with a baby, as it was set up with a double quilt. The staff were like angels, so welcoming and polite, going out of their way to assist with laundry and other needs. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the railway station. However, the only downside was the lack of additional dining options beyond tea, coffee, sugar, and milk provided onsite.
