Top Balerno Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"great staff. friendly, helpful."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Great location, just a short walk from the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. The hotel is quite commercial, with a Premier Inn-style feel, so you know exactly what to expect. The rooms were basic but comfortable enough and did the job perfectly for a short stay. A good option if location is your priority!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, less than 5 minutes from Waverley station. A Central Hotel to access the delights of Edinburgh. Rooms clean and spacious for the 2 of us. Comfy beds! Lifts were our only issue. You need your room card to swipe the floor number in lift. Sometimes they worked sometimes they didnt and as we dont like lifts caused some anxiety! Only issue we had. Would recommend for a getaway. Easy to locate along Princes Street opposite monument and gardens."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"El personal fue muy amable y atento,les recomiendo el restaurante tiene muy buen menú y creo que si lo comparas con otros del área es asequible en el precio.lo que sí recomendaría es poner una rampa para poder llegar al lobby del hotel ya que cuando entras al hotel te encuentras con unas escaleras que tienes que subir las maletas ya que no tienen maleteros,después descubrí que tienes una rampa desde el parqueo del hotel,pero si no vienes con carro te toca cargar las maletas,las muchachas del lobby quisieron ayudar,pero a uno le da pena que una mujer cargue por ti."

Couples looking for a peaceful retreat with good access to the city will appreciate staying in Balerno. You can enjoy strolls along the Water of Leith Walkway, which is easily accessible from the village centre, or explore the nearby Pentland Hills Regional Park for scenic walks.
