Stunning old building that is appointed and beautifully decorated. My 5th floor room was lovely. Complimentary still and sparkling mineral water was appreciated. Had drinks and dinner at the hotel's french brasserie. Service excellent and the food was very good.
I do not like the oversized tubs with the glass half door. Anyone over the age of 60, with rare exceptions, will have a hard time getting in and out and would prefer a shower without the oversized tub. That said the bathrooms are well appointed and very clean. Love the Sean Connery 007 photos.

The staff were truly attentive and could not do enough for us. Location was great for our purpose Room and amenities were all exceptional.
It was still very expensive (but I guess that you get what you pay for) so the cost would be a factor in choosing where to stay on our next visit to Edinburgh

Location of the Hotel was great, and rooms were very comfortable, and beautiful.
Definitely not worth what we paid. The hotel Spa and Gym were not available, the hotel did not offer ammenities like a shop, or coffee bar...just fancy restaurants.

My son Max and I had a magical stay at The Balmoral. The staff were just wonderful. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay extra special for Max (age 9). Our trip to Edinburgh was a special treat because he's a huge Harry Potter fan. He absolutely loved Edinburgh and all it's Potter lore but the stay in the Balmoral was by far the highlight of his trip because of how kind everyone was to us (as well as it being a beautiful luxurious hotel of course).

Light burning without any reasons as we must save energy in Europe, prices increased to 100% since the Ukrenian conflict
