"Staying in an actual castle was a dream come true for this soon to be 50 year old! The room was amazing and staff were phenomenal. The food was terrific - both the basement restaurant and the breakfast room. We only stayed one night due to our busy schedule but would've loved to stay and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Price was similar to a night in a 2-3 star hotel in London, which was shocking - would've much rather stayed here!!! This was a bucket list check off for me for sure!"

Top Balm Well Hotel Reviews

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great!"

Braid Hills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a good size, and breakfast had a wide selection of food (hot and cold) available. I didn't have any issues while there, and the staff were pleasant. I'd stay again if I was in the area for work."

Edinburgh Travel Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly team! Homey feel."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring old and “new” Edinburgh!! Right on the Royal Mile and less than 15 minutes to any and all the sites—- great pub restaurants immediately nearby at reasonable prices- really recommended!!"

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff but not that well maintained, could do with a bit of a revamp if it’s to deserve its 4 star rating. Perfectly fine for our stay, just needs refreshing."

Northumberland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, no noise, breakfast not available, front desk staff were OK but gave no recommendations or asked if was our first time etc. Overall good experience and can recommend"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The staff at the Abbey are excellent, by far the best part about the stay. Very friendly with each encounter and extremely accommodating. We had several bags with us, and they made our check-in and check-out much easier by going out of their way to support. The room itself is satisfactory; it is about what you pay for. Nothing too extraordinary, but more than sufficient for what we needed it for. Although the bathroom wasn’t terribly well maintained, and the shower didn’t drain very well. Housekeeping was great; they came regularly and did a great job keeping the room to a high standing of cleanliness. The accommodation is also quite accessible to the city centre through both the 3 and the 29, which come quite frequently. Since there is no kitchen, having a Co-Op across the road is quite handy. Also close to some nice walking trails."

Spacious 2BR - Parking Near Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment has fairly new interior, the area is nice, next to a large meadow. The double beds are a bit narrow for two full sized adults. Bus connection to the city is good, the bus stop is 1 minute away. The road could be noisy for some people."
