Edinburgh Hotels with Balcony

"Everything about this place was excellent, making it my top choice for a trip to Edinburgh! I just forgot to take pictures of the room and hotel facilities, so I've included photos of breakfast and the street view instead. **Location:** It's very close to the train station, making it convenient for airport access. Most importantly, it feels incredibly safe, with a separate passcode lock for the main entrance. **Ambiance:** Housed in an old Baroque building, the interior is surprisingly modern. The view from the window overlooks Edinburgh's famous 'watch street' – truly impeccable. If you're coming to Edinburgh, you can't go wrong with this place; it's a guaranteed hit! **Service:** Every staff member was incredibly friendly and attentive, from check-in to storing my luggage after check-out. A major highlight is the hotel's highly automated management system. Each room has an iPad where you can view specific hotel services and contact staff. The front desk also has these iPads, making everything incredibly convenient. **A small suggestion:** The breakfast restaurant the hotel partners with was a bit average. Food choices were limited, and guests from the hotel were always seated in less desirable spots. I'd recommend bringing in more breakfast providers to offer more variety and competition."

"The room with a view was absolutely fantastic! You could see Calton Hill and the sea in the distance right from the room. The free croissants at the front desk were delicious. Calton Hill is just a five-minute walk away, and the views from there are breathtaking. The hotel is also only a few minutes from Edinburgh Waverley train station, and having direct lift access was so convenient and pleasant. Edinburgh is a wonderful place and definitely worth revisiting. This hotel is also worth another stay!"

"Room was quite small but very thoughtfully laid out. Bed was extremely comfortable and the amenities were good quality - Molton Brown toiletries, GHD hairdryer and Nespresso coffee machine. The complimentary drink at 5pm was a nice touch. The only downside was the lack of breakfast in the hotel itself. However, we had a good discounted breakfast at The Huxley and a 50% discount at Castle Terrace car park."

"The room was decent, the location was great, and the bed was comfortable. However, we were assigned a first-floor room right by the entrance – I'm not sure if this was intentional – and we didn't get a wink of sleep on any of our four nights. First off, the glass door was broken and couldn't be securely locked, which meant absolutely no soundproofing. We could hear every word pedestrians said on the street. Given its central tourist location, loud pedestrians, particularly intoxicated ones, would pass by until well past midnight, making a lot of noise. Then came the constant banging of doors in the morning. Even more terrifying were the sounds of luggage being dragged and lifted (due to the building's layout, all luggage had to be carried up stairs), which sounded like an earthquake, starting as early as 5 AM. We were utterly sleep-deprived and on edge! We tried to just tough it out, but by the time we left, our entire family was completely drained."
