Staff were exceptional! Stayed for 2 nights and cannot fault any aspect of the hotel, the staff from the minute you greet the consierge staff to the housekeepers 10/10. Food & Drink choice is top class. We are already looking to re-book. Honestly, ask for anything and they will do their best to assist.

The Balmoral is an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Princes Street. We were wearily travellers and from having our car parked, to the concierge, reception and then excellent decor and size of our room we found our stay to be an experience we are very keen to repeat. The food for breakfast and dinner was again served with polite discretion and in a low no hurry way that let us unwind from our busy itinerary.
