It's a really nice hotel, ideally located next to Waverley station, with a lovely back-friendly bed (i.e. mattress not too hard!) and a much appreciated general cosiness of the room...

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).

The place is simply amazing, great location if you are a tourist in Edinburgh, and a great place to visit with your friends. Great beer, amazing "small apartment" rooms, extremely nice crew (that I miss already), and a location on a fast track to both new and old city areas. Defiantly coming back over there.

The staff were very helpful and did things in a timely manner. Very quick to respond, and very nice. I had to pay a deposit when I checked in, but I got the deposit back very quickly after checking out. The room had a nice view. It was very comfortable, and I would definitely reserve a room in this same hotel if I happen to visit Edinburgh again.

St. Giles' Cathedral

During the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, the fiery sermons of John Knox echoed around this imposing Gothic church. As such, it’s viewed as the cradle of Presbyterianism in Scotland. However, you don’t need to be religious to feel moved by the stained-glass Scottish Saints window or the intricate heraldic carvings of the Thistle Chapel ceiling.

    Amazing history.

    Amazing history. I'm just sad at the state of the church in the UK. Most cathedrals are now museums or shops. I mean, the father of the Presbyterian Church, John Knox, is buried in it's parking lot! Beautiful building however.
