I'm giving this hotel 5 stars for the people. Andrew at the bar is amazing. I am not a fan of whisky, or whiskey (gasp!), but he worked with me and came up with a great one where my lip did not curl and I enjoyed it. I also learned how to taste whisky, by adding water. He was a great teacher, as well as the rest of the bar staff. They all helped me in deciding what to do on a rainy day. Great people. The hotel was clean and in a central location. The food at the hotel was also superb. I really like the scone, and the salmon.

We enjoyed our stay with Ten Hill Place in early May of this year and it was an extraordinary experience. The rooms were so very comfortable and well appointed. The staff was exemplary as they seemed to anticipate our every need. The dining options were amazing and we were even able to celebrate my sister and brother-in-law's 20th wedding anniversary. We hated to leave and would happily recommend staying with this establishment as it is within walking distance of many wonderful sites as well as some excellent tours of the surrounding area. We will definitely be returning.

Ten Hill Place Hotel is adjacent to the Royal College of Surgeons complex on Nicholson Street, and is actually owned and run by the College. (Profits are used to the benefit of the College's work). Hill Place is just off Nicholson Street, and is a small, leafy square, which my room overlooked. I was staying on a package (£81 B&B) which was considerably below the rack rate, and for this I found it offered very good value for money. The area is not quite as swish as the New Town - you'll pass a few drunks and some odd looking characters (appalling dentistry seemed to be their characteristic) on the way, but it didn't feel threatening at all, even late at night. The hotel is actually a mix of a very modern new wing added to a traditional Georgian terrace, although the interiors are thoroughly modern. The public areas on the ground floor are economical: there is a single bar/lounge/dining area, and a separate reception at a higher level. The rooms are similarly modern, decorated in a safe but pleasant beige/brown style, with large gleaming white bathrooms. Mine was not terribly spacious, but was good enough. (It might feel a bit cramped for two after a few days, though). The rooms all have internet access for laptops and (for a fee) via the TV. (Note: the TV also lets you choose your own music, but you pay per album chosen, so be careful!) Mine was an accessible suite, so I had a large walk-in wet area shower, and the only drawback for me was having a low sink. But everything was very clean and comfortable, and the view over the square was lovely to wake up to. Although there is air conditioning, joy of joys - my traditional sash windows actually opened to let in fresh air! I didn't use room service, but the next day's breakfast was a perfectly fine, if standard, hot and cold buffet. Reception was also friendly, and reasonably efficient, although with space for only two staff I could imagine that a rush might slow things up. The only downside was that I could hear some noise from the adjacent room: plugs and switches being clicked and, in the morning, their conversation. This may have been because I had an adjoining room, but for a new refurbishment the soundproofing should have been better. That said, I'd happily stay there again at this price.

You'd hardly even notice that this hotel exists unless you were looking for it; it's nestled behind the Royal Colege of Surgeons just off Nicolson Street. That's one of the great things about it - it's in a really central location but it's not noisy like so many other city centre hotels. Aesthetically, the view from the outside probably won't blow you away. Think functional and minimalist, with lots of glass and metal. The rooms, on the other hand, were inviting and comfortable and bigger than you'd get in a lot of city centre places. If you're looking for somewhere nice to stay but aren't into all of the frills and faff of the bigger hotel chains (nobody's going to knock on your door and ask if you want your quilt turned down), then this is a great option. The receptionist told me it was built by the College of Surgeons, for people coming to meetings/conferences/exams etc so you can get an idea from that of what to expect. If you don't mind walking 5-10 minutes to the Royal Mile, and 10-15 minutes up to Princes Street, then I'd definitely recommend this place.

I stayed here at the start and end of my Scotland trip. Above-average hotel in a quiet location just a few blocks south of the Royal Mile, far enough away from the fray. It's not a lovely place; sort of modern blah style. Honestly, I didn't think much from the lobby when coming in but my room was much better; quiet, comfortable, with a large, clean bathroom and flatscreen TV; my second room was even better, about double the size and on a higher floor. There's no wi-fi in the rooms, but there is an ethernet cable and no charge for access; there is also free wi-fi in the cafe. A bit steep for what it is, but seems to be standard for Edinburgh. One small complaint: points off for not accommodating an early check-in. After a transatlantic flight involving grimy taxicabs, grimy airports, grimy public transport, grimy fellow travelers, and (if you're flying out of JFK), even some grimy pigeons, about the first thing I want is hot shower. I arrived at 10 a.m. and was told my room would be ready by 12:30 p.m. It wasn't. It wasn't ready when I checked back at 1:30. In fact, it wasn't ready until 3. Now, I know 3 is regular check-in time, but getting a room ready for a guest really isn't much of a challenge at most other hotels I've visited.

The hotel itself is in a great location and situated a short walk from the royal mile and Edinburgh castle and the old town bits. For location this place gets 5 stars. The room were given on the other had did leave a bit to be desired. The bed was not great and sunk in the middle a bit. Never a great thing when you are trying to share a double bed. The bar was backing onto our room so you could hear the piano player all evening. Don't get me wrong I do love piano but not for an entire evening :-) The staff were friendly and the check on process was relatively straightforward. The wifi was ok but very slow. All in all an ok place but value for money was lacking for me. Hopefully if I come back here again I might get a different experience.

So creamy and delish! Perfect dessert

Owned by Sir Rocco Forte since 1997, the building has been completely refurbished and now enjoys a worldwide reputation as a luxury hotel. The hotel is a well-loved landmark which has graced Edinburgh's skyline since 1902 when it began its life as a grand railway hotel. Of course the building has undergone many changes since then but even to this day it still holds a certain magic that has luckily been harnessed and maintained. The famous Balmoral hotel is an iconic feature in the Edinburgh city skyline.

The Balmoral has been hosting royalty, celebrities, and cultural icons for 120 years, but the staff makes everyone feel special regardless who you are. We went back two days in a row because it is such a beautiful space with quality food and cocktails. The design is stylish modern classic with some of the most beautiful glassware I've seen. The cocktail menu hosts a nice variety of wonderful signature and classic recipes. I had the Nutty Professor (photo #2) which was a tasty blend of Bourbon, spiced rum, Cocchi Torino (sweet vermouth), Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur), and black walnut bitters with an orange garnish. It was so good I didn't change it up for my second. The cocktail menu is fun because of its local focus. They use fresh, locally sourced ingredients, reflecting a commitment to quality and a connection to the surrounding Scottish landscape. We loved everything about the experience for our first time visiting Scotland. The Balmoral Hotel and Bar Prince are a must when you visit beautiful Edinburgh. Go there!!! Salute

It had two beds-one was a king and the other a queen. What a nice surprise! There is no air conditioning in most hotels in Europe. With the windows open and a fan I was quite comfortable because the temp was around 60° the three nights we were there. The hubby who likes it much colder said it was bearable. The staff was friendly. The hotel was clean. I don't remember if breakfast is included in the price. There is a buffet breakfast or you can order off the menu. The last morning I ordered the smoked salmon, poached eggs, and sourdough toast off the hot menu. It was delicious. Had to have smoked salmon before I left Scotland...wish I would have ordered it sooner. Yummy. Would have given it 4 stars but with the lack of ac and having to climb several sets of stairs before you get to the elevator I'm giving it 3 stars. In all fairness, on occasion I did use the hotel ramp to get into or leave the hotel but that entailed walking through the rain. It did, however, lead you directly to the elevator.

Of course, No accountability, immediately blamed it on 'colleagues' for loading it 'incorrectly'. picked everything up, got car loaded. I decided to tip him anyways because I worked service once upon a time and handed him a five. Instead of saying 'thank you', he said 'yeah'. Needless to say, his attitude and ungratefulness was unexpected after dumping our possessions into the middle of the sidewalk. My wife went back in to see if they could find a glove the same bell desk lost when they brought our items in for check-in. Same bellhop was completely flippant - "it's Edinburgh, we don't have your glove, anyone could have picked it up". very beautiful hotel, breakfast is excellent, fitness/spa very nice, customer service we received from everyone else was top notch. Will give them benefit of doubt, & probably come again, but might not ask for any more 'help' from bell desk.

Besides that and more, there are a ton of pubs and other eateries of all sorts of cuisines close by. Then there are their normal hotel amenities. It's a spacious hotel housed in a historic building built in 1892. The room we have is cozy and comfortable and we even have a nice 2nd floor view of Edinburgh Castle. Their breakfast buffet is a delicious and large spread of classic British goodies. All of the staffers we have met are helpful and wonderful. The Hilton chain staffers are also always able to look up my Hilton Honors member number for points even though I never remember it. I can't give this Doubletree a bigger thumbs up. Thank you!

The bar provides ice for the rooms, however it is brought to your room with no lid on the public elevator so any sneeze or cough and your ice is contaminated. I called for ice and after waiting an hour I went to get it myself and saw the bartender pick said "Ice bucket" (a bucket without a lid is a wine bucket, not an ice bucket) off the floor from under the glass washing sink (unhygienic). Four days into my stay I brought my concerns and frustration to the assistant manager. She said the curtain would be hung and for my inconvenience I would get free breakfast for the rest of my stay (I was booked for two weeks and had mentioned I could have stayed at Premier Inn and gotten better service and free breakfast (as stated earlier breakfast was added along with executive club benefits which I wasn't interested in). I did go for breakfast which is served buffet style (£27 normally) and while the plates were hot, the food was not. I never ate there again. I spoke to the General Manager regarding my concerns and stated I thought I should receive a discount for the state of my stay (I was booked for two weeks). This did not happen. Instead he tried to insist I move rooms; a suite. I wasn't interested after unpacking and being there for five days already. I did request a discount for part of my stay. Hilton Honors was made aware, however they added 20,000 points to my account; after this experience why would I want to stay in a Hilton property again? To date, I've received no financial compensation for this deplorable stay. I'd avoid this hotel at all costs. The Scotsman is across the street, Radisson Blu around the corner and Marriott has properties also in Old Town. BTW, the General Manager told me he charged £7 for a cider in the bar "because he could"! Hardly the attitude a customer who has issues with their stay wants or needs to hear. Overall, I'd avoid this place like the plague...my stay was Jan 15-29, 2026.

First of all, the location was perfect for us. It's right on Festival Square. Just look at the view that we had from our window on the 7th floor. The castle view is amazing! If you're a fan of concerts, then you'll also be happy that Usher Hall is right across the street from the hotel. The Edinburgh Farmers Market (every Saturday) is just behind the auditorium on Castle Terrace. There are many great restaurants all along Lothian, Fountainbridge, and everywhere in between as you walk up to Grassmarket. The great service started immediately with Ryan. He checked us in and made sure we had everything we needed. He was a great resource throughout our stay. The lobby was always neat as a pin. There's infused water available. The club is also accessed from this 1st floor area. We chose the Castle Suite which was very comfortable and spacious. The lighting and AC controls are modern and easy to figure out. There were plenty of electrical outlets (adaptable), and all were where we needed them to be. The bed was comfy, and house cleaning was great in getting the room ready in a timely matter on each day. I enjoyed the chocolate that was left for us each day at turn down. It was always a different flavor. The shower pressure and bath amenities were also great. We were also happy that our room included club access. It was great to be able to use their coffee machines throughout the day. I especially loved the fresh orange juice machine. Just insert a couple of whole oranges at the top and it produces a full glass of juice. Loved it! You'll also get access to the breakfast buffet at One Square on the 2nd floor. We did try it out on our last full day there. It had a larger variety of buffet items with table service. I especially liked the stuffed croissants. I think the one I had was filled with rhubarb. All the pastries were fresh daily. You can order an egg any way you like it, but you need to ask for it. It doesn't have the same open kitchen concept like the one in Kraków. I thought the breakfast buffet in Kraków was better. Although, I did get to try some unique Scottish items such as haggis and tattie scones. It was still well-done. I would most definitely stay here again. It made quite an impression on us for its comfortable amenities, good value, and location. Marriott Bonvoy members should be very happy here.
