Top Balm Well Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The stay was good. Location was great with view of castle. The only issue was there was a leak outside the room that leaded into the closet of the room. Was moved when we brought it up."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good

"Nice stay. Next to EICC (where I saw an amazing show, during Fringe). And close to everything in general. Quiet, well-secured. Cozy rooms."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Unique room, converted police cell in Old Courthouse. Just needed a chair in the room."

The Scott

8/10 Good

"Nora who checked us in was lovely and very friendly. The room was nice and liked that it had a couple of arm chairs and a coffee table to sit at. The downside was it did lack space to put cases/ clothes. There is a wardrobe but it is so dark in that corner you need to use the torch on your phone to see in. There are also no shelves - just hanging space. There wasn’t a fridge but they did have a coffee machine but it alternated between a thimbleful hot shot or a mouthful of lukewarm coffee."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The bathroom is very good, great design, everything has been thought of, but the sleeping area wasn’t great, it was so small, most of it is taken up by the huge bed frame and clunky faux marble table. We had a really long walk to our room with no lifts There was a wedding on Saturday and our room was literally next to the party! Roof top terrace is literally a terrace, you have to buy your very expensive drink from the bar and carry it yourself up to the roof terrace. Breakfast needs more variety Staff were very attentive and helpful and the location is fantastic. However it’s not worth the amount we spent per night"

The Abbey Residence

8/10 Good

"The bed was very soft and wonderful to sleep on. Also, the breakfast was great as well as the coffee. The property was a little run down as far as maintenance goes. The staff and management were very helpful and courteous."

Kildonan Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Mister A at reception was amazing very helpful Breakfast amazimg Very nice Will comeback again"

Edinburgh Travel Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and nice staff"

Kingsley Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for travelling in and out of Edinburgh city centre, with a bus stop right outside the guesthouse. Check in with slick and smooth and Kingsley were very accommodating with an early check in after my delayed journey to Edinburgh. My room was super cute, cosy, clean and comfortable! Loved the little Scottish touches of a bottle of irn bru, water and biscuits! I had the best nights sleep after a fun filled day in the capital and would highly recommend staying here! Looking forward to another trip soon!"
