Best Edinburgh hotels near The Royal Mile
The British Isles is a repository for so much culture and the people all provide a great window onto one of the great countries in the world. A massive contributor to British culture is Scotland, and the city of Edinburgh is its biggest city. When you stay in Edinburgh, you experience all the great Scottish traditions including the architecture, food, and of course, the kilts. Staying in Edinburgh means finding a great hotel, one of which is the Balmoral Hotel. The Balmoral Hotel is all about providing travelers with some impressively luxurious accommodations. The best part about the hotel is the location. There are so many places to see in Edinburgh and the hotel is right in the middle of all of them. With rooms that are luxuriously appointed and a staff that is dedicated to service, you’ll feel as if you’re the only guest in the hotel. With a pool and spa on the premises, it is extremely easy to relax. Scottish cuisine is one of the great understated pleasures of any trip. In Edinburgh, it is done right. There are plenty of great places to eat within walking distance of the hotel. However, the Balmoral does offer some in-house dining that will make you think twice about heading out to eat. Number One and Brasserie Prince by Alain Roux are two excellent restaurants to go along with the bars and lounges in the hotel. Edinburgh is a great place the visit, and staying at the Balmoral Hotel is a great choice for rooms.

Pros: I told them I am severely asthmatic. When I walked into the room I immediately smelled musty old rug that was cleaned at least dozens of times and exhausted its useful life a long time ago. I went back to the front desk and told them needed a different room for medical reasons and willing to pay more. The front desk person and the day manager told me that they did not have availability without any serious they said no without any consideration and force me to sleep in this room where I ended up wheezing all night. They also lied to me that all the rooms were renovated at the same time and were the same. And it turns out that there were at least a few rooms available.

Ten Hill Place, BW Premier Collection was opened in November 2006. The hotel is one of Edinburgh's premier City Centre hotels. From airy public places to each of our 129 smart bedrooms, the mood of Ten Hill Place, BW Premier Collection is one of quiet sophistication, and one we believe sets us apart from other Edinburgh hotels. We have four fully equipped accessible rooms with an elevator from street level to all floors. This innovative Edinburgh hotel is within easy walking distance of Princes Street, the historic Old Town and the City Centre’s main tourist, shopping and business districts; yet peacefully situated away from the main thoroughfares. The best of Edinburgh opens up before you right outside our front door. The Festival Theatre is across the road, the National Museums are around the corner and the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and Holyrood Palace are just a stone’s throw away. Whether on business or a short city break in Edinburgh, make Ten Hill Place, BW Premier Collection your first choice. Edinburgh offers tourist attractions for all ages and interests. Ten Hill Place, BW Premier Collection® is owned by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and all profits go back into training surgeons worldwide. Historic and contemporary rooms are available within Surgeons’ Hall for conferences, meetings and social events.

Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.
Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite.
2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand.
3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made.
Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).

Cons: Felt sorry for reception, really tight and congested with piles of baggage to take care of in view behind the front desk (damaging interior design and walls). Appreciate it's an historic building but steps leading up to elevator foyer really not helpful. Whole lobby area could do with a revamp so that it becomes guest (and staff) centric not process centric.

Cons: Nothing really.The room was a little small,but not a problem as it was only used to sleep in.
6.3 Good
Pros: Location is good. Some of the staff are quite friendly.
Cons: This hotel has crammed as many tiny rooms as possible in. Because of this, you hear hallway noise in the morning, slamming doors and conversations. Because it is so crammed, your television has a low volume limit, the breakfast room is a crush of people, the desk has the TV right on it (the chair wont pull out without hitting the bed) and to even get an iron you have to go to a special ironing room as there is nowhere to set up an ironing board. Stay here if you don’t mind feeling constantly squeezed.

Pros: Good area which was within walking distance of many of the main attractions.
Cons: There was no Wi-fi throughout our stay and we had no way of accessing our room. The problem with the Wi-fi meant that room keys could not be issued and we had to wait until a member of staff was available to take us to our room every time we returned to the hotel. The internal phones were not working so we had to go down to reception with any requests.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: This hotel was highly disappointed. I came there for a business trip and did not have any wifi for more than 2 days out of 4 days. Only explanation given was that it was a "free wifi" hence not included in the price so they could not compensate me for anything which is a joke considering the hotel price. I highly do NOT recommend that hotel.

Cons: Requested an iron in the room prior to arrival but it wasn't there.
The heating came on at 6am and was very noisy. This woke my partner and I up and we couldn't get back to sleep with the noise.
The tea/coffee machine in the room did not work.
Left my straighteners behind in the room but when I contacted the hotel to enquire about this they said they checked and they were not there. That is a mystery to me.

Pros: We were comfortable and centrally placed for the Edinburgh Fringe, our key priorities. The coffee bar at reception was friendly and useful.

Cons: The windows on the rooms are not barricaded therefore the windows are massively restricted and you cannot really open them - this along with the ‘air con’ not working and the humidity of the weather made it impossible to sleep! Do not book if a hot stuffy room will bother you.

Did not feel "cut rate" even though the price was so good.
Cons: Sadly, we were there during a hot spell. The lack of air conditioning meant that the apartment was a bit stuffy and warm until later in the evening. The windows only opened slightly, for appropriate safety reasons, and it was difficult to get much airflow going. Clearly, this would not be a problem the vast majority of the time.

Pros: It's everything you expect from a Hilton. Starting at the beginning, you can't ask for a better location if you're in Edinburgh. The Waverley station, the royal mile and all major attractions are a stone's throw away. The hotel itself is good. Lovely interiors and decor, the room was very comfortable, and had all amenities you would want. I stayed with my family and had 2 double beds which suited very well. The staff was courteous too. There was a little delay of about 30 mins in getting our room ready for checkin owing to the rush of tourists, but they gave us vouchers for drinks to use at the bar as we waited. The breakfast was suitably sufficient too. Overall a great stay and would sure like to stay here when I'm back in Edinburgh

Pros: It's everything you expect from a Hilton. Starting at the beginning, you can't ask for a better location if you're in Edinburgh. The Waverley station, the royal mile and all major attractions are a stone's throw away. The hotel itself is good. Lovely interiors and decor, the room was very comfortable, and had all amenities you would want. I stayed with my family and had 2 double beds which suited very well. The staff was courteous too. There was a little delay of about 30 mins in getting our room ready for checkin owing to the rush of tourists, but they gave us vouchers for drinks to use at the bar as we waited. The breakfast was suitably sufficient too. Overall a great stay and would sure like to stay here when I'm back in Edinburgh
Cons:

Pros: location is brilliant, right between the royal mile and princes street and next to the train station. fast wifi, excellent a/c, good selection of tv channels, nice staff. we asked for a queit room not facing busy North Bridge Street and we got what was asked for.
Cons: room was a bit smaller than expected, bathroom is cramped. the hotel ran out of umbrellas which i found amusing considering it is a 4 star hotel.

The building dates back to 1900s and is part of the impressive North Bridge which links Edinburgh’s Old and New town together, giving you easy access to countless shopping, dining and entertainment.

Pros: First glance it seemed fine. It was clean, and in a great location. The staff was very young but totally capable, and understood a bad situation.
Cons: I am shocked that no one else has mentioned that there is an extremely loud night club in the building. The techno music started at 11pm. It took us a bit to figure out what to do - there are no phones to the front desk, you are supposed to text but I got no answer, when I went down to the lobby the only staff apologized but said there were no other rooms he could move us to, and that the music would turn off at 3am. 3AM. We had a flight at 10am. We made some calls and found a place 4 blocks away, which we walked to in the rain, in our pajamas. I went back the next morning and they refunded me the night at Ibis, but I would never stay or recommend anyone staying there again.

Pros: Location was just great, every attractive locations are nearby and walking distance. Breakfast was good too! Staffs are friendly and nice.
Cons: I booked premium double bed with comfortable seating area room, while I checked in staff gave 962 room which was big had a sofa to sit as well, but when we unlocked the room we saw it was already occupied by someone, then the staff gave 970 room, which doesn't have any sofa to sit n chair n table to use my laptop too. Though they gave complimentary drinks voucher, which we never used it, I'm not happy with this mess up! I paid for big room but we got small room. So not happy with this booking!

5.0 Okay
Pros: Central and close to Royal Mile
Cons: No air con or fan. Room 418 had one small small window backing onto a small alley with an open plan office as the view. These offices were open at all hours and subsequently the lights were mostly on. We therefore had to keep the drapes closed which worsened the stuffiness and heat in the room. if you leave the small window open then the noise will keep you awake most of the night but the highlight is the glass collection between 5 and 6am. We left with a couple who had actually purchased a fan and an ext lead to try to cool their room down. I appreciate summer can be a difficult time but this room was poor and we got next to no sleep. Other rooms may be better. Pointed out these issues to reception and got a shrug. For the money we paid it really wasn’t good enough I’m afraid. Won’t be going back.

Pros: Good location. Al within walking distance to the Pubs and not too far from the main attractions. Nice view from the kitchen window. Good wi-fi. Ear plugs supplied. Personal Power sockets and lamps. Nice bar
Cons: Shower head which cannot be adjusted are best suited to someone over the height of 6 feet or 2 metres. If below this height, it can be impossible to have a shower without getting your hair wet. Hostel is located within staggering distance from the pubs and clubs, so at night it can be noisy, this was not a problem for me. KA has more than one property, and apparently because the other property's kitchen is not as good as this hostel's kitchen, the kitchen can on some occasions be very overcrowded with guests from the other property. As a consequence there can be no space in the fridges/freezer and all the cookers occupied. The main culprits were the long term Spanish guests from the other property. Even though they did not have key cards to the Hostel and kitchen, their compadres at reception would buzz them through. The fire escape door to Candlemaker Rd. states that the door is alarmed. This is not the case. On a Thursday night at 02:00 a concerned female guest had to bring to the attention of reception that the fire escape door was open, Would I stay there again? Yes!

Cons: VERY NOISY! All the noises from the outside bar and hallway come to the room all night long until the wee hours (and not only weekends). Only ventilation was from a small window, which had to be closed for the night due to the noise. The first elevator was broken the whole stay. Also the bathroom light was probably broken as it was on all the time (no switch). Breakfast was not worth £5.50, incl. cereal, toast, unregocnizable "juice", fruit, coffee/tea. The bar serves food, nachos are good, others mediocre. Linen looked clean but pillow a dirty hair smell.

Pros: The location is just outside waverly station and couldn’t be easier to get to with bags. It’s just at the bottom of the Royal Mike as well so just a short, very enjoyable. walk to the castle. The pub was open till 1 which was nice after being late at the Military Tattoo.
Cons: For the price, there was nothing not to like. Everything was expected.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Definitely good value for money. Close to the Royal Mile as well as the train station. 12 bed triple bunks felt private with curtains around the beds. Would stay again.

Pros: Right off the Royal Mile, this hotel couldn't be in a better place. Comfortable, clean rooms with great views.
Funny British ways about electricity - you have to put a hotel key in to a special reader inside the room to turn on the electricity in the room. They really don't want you to leave the lights on when you're not there, I guess.
Perfect spot for our stay.

Pros: Great central location in Edinburgh.
Cons: Pack ear plugs with you... I could hear everything from the room next room. I had a early start in the morning because of rertun flight and breakfast was starting only at 7am on weekday. This is too late start because there are many excursions available in Edinburg with early start. And in general it's also a too late start if you're travelling on business.
9.5 Excellent
Pros: Brilliant location easy to all the tourist places. Staff were super nice. Breakfast was delicious.
Cons: Water temperature was a little sporadic in the shower. Decor was a little dated but I understand it is having a refurbishment soon. This did not stop us from enjoying our stay. We would absolutely stay again.
8.0 Excellent
Pros:
Cons: A short and fat staff with beard, is impolite and rude. After a while, a polite young lady say that, our checking-in procedure is not completely finished, we have to re-do again. And she apologizes, the previous man forget to give us free coffee voucher. Otherwise, this place is nice and satisfied.

Pros: The hotel in a good position for things needed and wanted to see. Breakfast good and plenty (but did notice small plates?), reception staff very good. Room was ok, some things a bit basic but it was fine. Would stay again
Cons: decorating in bedroom, but it was clean and that is what matters most.

Perfect spot for our stay.
Cons: We stayed in two different rooms. The second room had a bathroom that needed some work. It was clean, but some towel bars were showing rust, and the tile needed to be re-caulked.

Pros: The location was great for exploring the royal mile and exploring the city. Easy to get to. The beds were nice.
Cons: The hallways smelled like cigarettes and the rooms felt a bit outdated.
3.1 Mediocre
Pros: The reception area looks swanky but it’s a fur coat and no underwear. Good location for Old and New town
Cons: Room was a time machine from the 90’s
Shower didn’t work because of ‘pressure issues’. The same ‘pressure issues’ also meant the the hot water failed to come out of the taps unless they were fully opened for at least five minutes and then it took a good 15 minutes to fill the shallow bath. The maintenance man said this was always an issue on the third floor particularly in the morning because everyone was using the water.
Husband had to rescue something from under the sagging couch and wish he’d left it there - disgustingly filthy and left us feeling queasy that we’d been in the same room as that level of filth. Probably not been moved since the 90’s...
Relative to other hotels it’s a cheaper option but not cheap enough - I’d have paid a bit more for a consistent hot water supply and a room that had been deep cleaned in the last decade.
3.8 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing
Cons: The rooms very very dated and dirty smelt awful No AC and room very hot unable to open windows properly, curtains so stiff they wouldn't close properly, right oppiste train station so rooms facing front of building was very noisy, no safe no mini fridge carpet filthy bathroom dated and filthy hair from previous guest found hanging down sink plughole Breakfast was awful bancon so hard you couldn't cut it beans and hash browns cold eggs like rubber Would not recommend this hotel to anyone and will never return

Pros: Location
Cons: We were staying for 5 nights but the room allotted was on a lower floor next to a building under repair and the work men on the scaffolding looked right into the room. No privacy at all.

Breakfast is limited to traditional British fare with ham and cheese available on request. The porridge is of course excellent. The beds were comfortable. The cost of parking in th recommended carpark is halved for hotel guests. This gives a huge saving on the £22 per day charge.

Pros: Location excellent with good transport links just outside the hotel Staff helpful and very courteous. Fans in rooms great as very warm during our stay
Cons: No house phone in the lower lobby had to go up to reception to call another guest. House phone at reception not working. Receptionist did assist on his phone. Would of eased his work load if house phone was in working order.

The cost of parking in th recommended carpark is halved for hotel guests. This gives a huge saving on the £22 per day charge.
Cons: The bedroom looked out onto large, grim air con units and metal fire escapes. It wasn't pleasant. There was a constant droning noise from the units all through the day and night. There is a need for an update to the room and bathroom. Both were tired but clean. The nearest car park is a good ten minute walk away and there is nowhere to drop off luggage. This could prove difficult if you have heavy luggage or multiple suitcases.

Pros: Nice room on 6th floor, centrally located

Pros: The location of the hotel was excellent. The breakfast was enjoyable.
Cons: We stayed in room 577. The room was comfortable but there was noise from the property next door. It sounded like a cooling system. We are heavy sleepers so this didn't pose too much of a problem. Not ideal for others.

9.3 Excellent
Pros: Bed was really comfortable location fantastic staff always pleasant. such a pity it is let down by the kitchen and dining room.
Cons: Breakfast was the only thing that was abysmal. First eggs ran out and took ages to be replaced and then bacon ran out so before you got a full breakfast the first elements were cold. To order eggs from the menu was at least a 20 minute wait. Fresh bread wasn't replaced. Just not acceptable and nobody seemed to be in charge or care. Food in the evening was also overpriced and mediocre.
6.3 Good
Pros: The location is really great, and the staff they were very kind, also you can have a great view of the Castle from the hotel restaurant.
Cons: the main issue with the room was the noise coming from the outside, there is no Air Conditioner, the toilet was not working properly, it was no extraction in the bathroom and the mattresses were quite a bit uncomfortable.
