Top Waterloo Place Hotel Reviews

The Balmoral Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Balmoral Hotel was impeccable and very clean. The door mans were always very polite and helpful. The location is excellent near the Waverley train station and within a decent walk to Old Edinburgh. The only disappointment was that we had an emergency and wanted to leave one day earlier but the Hotel management refused to give a credit or a even a partial refund. We were forced to stay the extra night since the room fee was very high."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Location perfect for a first time visit to Edinburgh as so close to many historical sites and lots of restaurants and shops. We stayed at beginning and end of our trip.our 4th floor room more spacious than the room we had on the 3rd floor.Both were clean. We did not eat but did enjoy a drink at the bar one evening with a friendly crowd."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing! They were so helpful in making arrangements for an amazing driver to St Andrew’s (James) for us. Carlos and everyone at the hotel was very helpful in getting us cars, making reservations and recommendations that were all spot on! The location was awesome as well as our room and all the amenities. Loved our stay!"
