Balmore Guest House - Edinburgh

greatly enjoyed this incredibly beautiful accommodation with very very nice and welcoming staff who also let us leave our bags for the last day after check-out. the hotel was in the central setting near city centre.

Location: the hotel was really close to city center as well as a park. I tried some drinks at bar The Blackbird, located 5 minutes walk away. There were central heating, coffee/tea makers and television in the room, enjoyed that. The cost was £ 62.

We were in the suite, it was airy.

I truly enjoyed staying in this property and its great and excellent location.

My suite was spotless with a double bed.

The hotel was clean with incredible location to centre of Edinburgh and airy rooms. Its staff was welcoming and amazing.

The breakfast was good with a juice, a piece of brioche plus brioche, and also the staff were all accommodating...

Good enough for a short stay

The room was a decent size and warmed up nicely which was a plus. There were good shops nearby to grab extra snacks since breakfast was just a brown paper bag with a croissant and a banana.

It wasn't exactly cheap but still acceptable for the value provided.

The food scene around Balmore Guest House is a treasure trove! We had an epic night at Badabing Live Music Bar & Steakhouse, where the steaks are fine. Plus, the room we had was solid with comfy beds and plenty of space to unpack our bags.

One downside was the lack of decent towels-only one small hand towel between us three.

Cozy room, but the bathroom was cramped and difficult to use.

My double room ensuite was surprisingly spacious with three beds to choose from, a nice touch. The location is ideal, just a short walk to bars and restaurants. Public transport was right outside, too, made getting around super convenient.

Charming decor and an exquisite breakfast

The ambiance of the guesthouse was charming, with elegantly designed rooms that created a lovely atmosphere. Breakfast was a highlight, with a fantastic variety of freshly cooked options that set a good tone for the day. The location was perfect, close to numerous attractions. I would prefer more clarity on parking availability and perhaps an adjustment to the early check-out time.

The location was PERFECT for exploring Edinburgh! Just a short walk to everything. The shower drained slowly which was a bit troublesome. I had a great experience 😊

We enjoyed exploring the old town, super close-like only a 10-minute walk! Our room was comfortable and had great beds. The staff was generous with tea and coffee supplies.

My kids wished there was a bit more flexibility with check-out time for families.

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to so many attractions. The bedding was clean, and we appreciated the friendly staff who helped with our luggage. Just keep in mind that breakfast options are basic and you need to order the day before. Still, we had fun!

One downside was the bathroom. The shower kept draining slowly, annoying. It was like we had to be careful not to flood our room .

The location was perfect, with plenty of shops and cafes nearby, made exploring the area easy and fun. The room was spacious and clean, awesome for a comfortable and relaxing experience throughout my visit.
