Top Balm Well Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Great location, 3 blocks from train and very close to the royal mile. They had a very good breakfast and elevator for luggage. We had our shower chord become detached last morning but they gave us free breakfast due to that. A little loud if you leave the window open as the rooms get hot. There was a homeless couple arguing at 6am in the alley so that was a bit annoying but part of being close."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel so much!! Everyone was so incredibly kind and the room and bathroom were so nice! Location was absolutely perfect. Very central and you can literally see the castle from out front!"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location"

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything about the hotel is excellent. Room, location, cleanliness. We just had a really rough check in. We had asked for an early check in months prior, and were told they would do everything to accommodate us. We arrived at 8:00am and weren’t given our room until 2:30. Checkout isn’t until 11, so expected 12 the latest. We were not given a time window and basically ignored in the beautiful lobby."

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were in the separate guest building and had no real issues! Room was clean and building was clean! We had no breakfast at the location and parking. Was right next to building!interaction with staff was limited to check in only!"

The Scott

10/10 Excellent

"The building is gorgeous, the room spacious and so comfortable, but the staff is the standout here. Cheerful, helpful, and so accommodating. They made the trip for us. The breakfast is amazing - enough to carry you through lunch and beyond. The hotel is a wee bit off the beaten track if you’re wishing to be on the Royal Mile every day, but the local bus service is excellent and you are in the midst of everything within 15-20 minutes. Thank you for everything. It was a treat."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful exterior fit nicely within the surrounding area. Centrally located by Royal Mile, High St. staff was immensely kind and helpful. Thank you to Sara for going above and beyond. The room was spacious and clean as was the bathroom."

Braid Hills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"I arrived very late. The staff were so friendly, and upgraded me from a single to a double room, I think because the single had gone to someone else. The bed was super comfy, I've never slept in a hotel room with such a comfy mattress before. The room was a bit run down, but clean enough. The breakfast was very basic, but good enough, and again the staff were very kind and helpful offering cups of tea or coffee. Very impressed for a two star hotel at the price I paid"
