The concierge service was excellent, they met us at the train station and escorted to the hotel, they also escorted us back to the train station when we left.
The negative I have about our stay was trying to figure out how to turn the water on and off in the bath/shower. Otherwise we had a great stay.

The service and the room were good. The location is excellent. The price is high and then they charged a £75 service charge to my card without asking!

Dear Peter, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your recent stay with us. We genuinely appreciate both your compliments and the valuable insights regarding your experience. I am truly sorry to learn that you were surprised by the addition of service charge. It is detailed on our booking site and all major 3rd party sites. In addition, it is optional, so of course, can be removed without question on departure.Please feel free to reach out directly if you have any further concerns or if there is anything else we can do to make amends.With all good wishes, Andrew McPhersonGeneral Manager

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.

This is an old, elegant hotel that has been modernized to a high level of comfort. It is well located on Princes Street near Waverley train station. The service was outstanding, from Kelly at check in to Andrew and the entire concierge team. The spa was also excellent. I was dealing with multiple unexpected complications and wanted a hotel where I could confidently get some help while relaxing a bit. The Balmoral was perfect.

The staff and service were excellent and the property is just beautiful. It was recently renovated so the rooms are nicely appointed and updated. The facade of the building is resplendent and majestic and stands out in the city. I highly recommend this property if you want to be close to everything.
