Bed was heavenly comfortable where we slept peacefully followed by an exceptional breakfast. The grounds and spa facilities also excellent. A truly luxurious stay!!

Located on Princes Street, The Balmoral has a 4 AA Rosette restaurant, a pool and a gym. Waverley Station and Edinburgh's main shopping area are within 5 minutes' walk.

With its own splendid clock tower, The Balmoral offers 5-star accommodation in the heart of Edinburgh. The city’s airport is a 25-minute drive from the building. We spent four nights here over Christmas, as a family that travels a lot, this was a stay that really stood out. The staff went the extra mile and the attention to detail was unparalleled. From a little robe and slippers for our daughter. Milk and cookies every evening. One detail that I’ve never had before, was our charing cables next to the bed were neatly tied every night. The staff were all tremendous, if there was an option for a 6th star ⭐️ that would’ve been well deserved.

Gleneagles Townhouse features a fitness centre, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Edinburgh. The property is close to National Museum of Scotland, Camera Obscura and World of Illusions and The Real Mary King's Close. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi.

Gleneagles Townhouse offers 5-star accommodation with a sauna. We are spent a few nights at Glencruitten House in Edinburgh, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. This beautiful Victorian mansion offers an atmosphere of refined elegance and comfort, making our stay unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and attended to every detail with utmost care. They provided excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities, ensuring that each day was filled with exciting discoveries. Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and decorated tastefully. We especially appreciated the luxurious bedding which ensured restful sleep after long days exploring the city. Breakfast each morning was another highlight—freshly prepared dishes presented elegantly in the historic dining room added to the charm of this place. We highly recommend Glencruitten House not only for its stunning architecture but also because it's located close enough to explore many key sights like Princes Street Gardens or Waverley Station without needing transport. House should be your first choice!
