5 stars Hotels in Edinburgh

We stayed for the first time in the balmoral just for one night but could have moved in!!! The staff were very attentive - when asked if they had headache pills the concierge went out and bought some immediately for me. We attended a wedding there which was tremendous! What a beautiful reception room. Our bedroom was out of this world! Lovely!

From the outset the staff were so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Spacious, comfortable room with all facilites. Breakfast was first class with plenty of choice. We decided to eat in the Bistro for our evening meal and the mutton dish I ordered was one of the best meals I have tasted

Great staff, location and staff. Everyone was very happy to help and had great free wifi in the building.

Almost felt like celebrities with the opulent surroundings and the flawless attention from the impossibly beautiful staff. The room was spacious, equipped with everything one could wish for and the general ambience of the hotel and its surroundings were second to none. The bed was by far the most comfortable that either of us had ever slept in. Excellently located, its vast capacity was disguised by a modest facade. Would highly recommend this hotel for groups embarking upon a weekend in Edinburgh for its location, facilities and beautiful rooftop garden which would make an excellent meeting place for friends.

Very good hotel/apartment concept. Best if one plans for it. We expected a "typical" hotel. Here you get a mini-flat: kitchen, clothes washer-dryer, DVD player with extensive collection, etc.

Would recommend this hotel to anyone! Wonderful location!!

We stayed in room 28 and it was perfect with a large lounge area, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen plus hallway. It's just a 5 minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley and close to all shops, pubs and restaurants. They are perfect modern apartments, will definitely stay again.

The Caledonian Waldorf Astoria is an original luxury railway hotel full of class and elegance, exquisitely and tastefully appointed. Service was exceptional, this was standard in Edinburgh, but the care that hotel staff took to make sure our stay was what we wanted it to be was outstanding. Peacock Alley is a lounge with a stunning atrium, it is a wow and perfect for an afternoon tea or evening drink. The brasserie lacked atmosphere but the food was excellent, the bar didn't appeal to us. Our de luxe room had a breathtaking view of the castle and was beautifully appointed and sympathetically refurbished to a very high standard as was the bathroom. It reminded me of the Dorchester Hotel in London. The only let down was the pool area of the spa which needed an upgrade (or a good clean), and the pool, jacuzzi and steam room were full of children. This would not prevent us from returning when we come back to Edinburgh.

Short bus ride from city centre (or long walk which we did once) Apartments very well furnished and well stocked with everything you could possibly need - including tea bags ! Would definately stay there again and no hesitation in recomending them

Our stay in this hotel was exceptional. I know Edinburgh well and wanted to stay slightly outside of the tourist hustle and bustle but close enough to walk wherever we wanted to go in town. I also wanted a hotel with exceptional facilities and a touch of class and I got everything I wanted and more. Every member of staff was exceptional, the room was very comfortable with all the mod cons and wonderful touches with the mood lighting in the bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The pool is fantastic, light streaming through the windows and again fabulous staff making sure the visit was perfect. The bar has fantastic ambiance and cocktails to rival any in town.
