Hotels near Princes Street

We found this Hotel to be very convenient for our purposes. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Any extra items i.e. towels coffee etc. were obtained from the desk without any problem. The rooms were very clean and serviced every day. As it was very hot and no A/C in room, it became a bit uncomfortable to sit in the room for any length of time. I suppose it was unusually hot for Edinburgh, so couldn't be helped. The only problem with room was the total lack of drawer space, but apart from that, perfectly adequate. It is a very conveniently placed hotel within a few minutes walk of most amenities and only 5 minutes walk to Princes Street. Overall we had a pleasant stay at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone.

The room I booked online was not the same for its square meter and it was not looking to a day light. In the picture I had from Agoda, There was a nice window and sofa Room service takes 30 - 45 minutes for a wine and never the orders came in rightly. First night dinner at the restaurant I asked first 250 ml red wine and then a glass came in and I thought it was the half but then I re-ordered this time 250 and it came with caraf but they charged me for both 250 ml in total 500 ml. I tried to explain them and their explanation was they poured the 250ml caraf into one wine glass. 250 ml caraf wine probably will not fit into a glass. I did not make it a real problem and left.Then I had order an other one to my room next day, 250ml, came as a bottle. But the last is the best, they have charged me that bottle twice to my receipt, and although had breakfast for one, charged 2 people because I am in twin room. If I had not checked, it would go to my credit card and I got no apologies...

The Ballantrae hotel is situated in the New Town, no more than 5 minutes walk from Princes Street and Waverly Station. We explored Edinburgh for two days not once having to take a taxi or public transport since the hotel is in such a central position. The room was clean and cosy and the bathroom had obviously been refurnished recently. The value for money is unbeatable and the staff is friendly and very helpful. Didn't have breakfast at the hotel since there are some great breakfast places nearby. A mini bar or vending machine to get something to drink or a snack would have been excellent, but Tesco Express/Sainsbury's are close by so that wasn't a problem.

I loved this hotel when I walked into the room. It was clean and comfortable with a king size bed, a sofa, and a nice bath tub. The location is good, there is a nice restaurant right beside the hotel, named The Dome. It is in the shopping street, and next to Rose street where filled with restaurant. However, it was noisy at night since the Shanghai Club playing music loudly!!

this is a fantastic hotel at the east end of princes street. 5 minutes walk from the train or bus station. staff were very friendly and rooms were ready to check into when we arrived at 11.30am. we were a group of 8 friends and the room was good value. the pool was lovely and warm and very quiet. the bar area is bright & airy and lovely for either a coffee or something stronger. the only negatives were - we found the rooms noisy at night, but this is because the bins were right outside our window. the floor to ceiling windows were lovely, but it was noisy when the rain battered on the windows all night. one of the top cupboard doors also feel off, just missing my friend. had it hit her, she could have been badly hurt. we did mention to the hotel and they were very apologetic. breakfast was also disappointing - long queue and very little choice for £11 (continental) or £15 (full english). these negatives were not big issues in our opinion.

I stayed at Albany Ballantrae Hotel for 3 nights, and found the stay very comfortable. Conveniently located just 5 minutes' walk away from the main shopping street of Princes street, the hotel is well-located and is a good starting point for the main places of interests, such as Carlton hill, Arthur's Seat, etc. It is also a short walk to the Old Town, where one can find many quaint and unique experiences in Edinburgh. The staff were very helpful too, having given useful tips on travelling around the town. A minor complaint though, is that given the hotel was re-furbished from an earlier old building, it gets a little noisy when people are going up the steps. Maybe this could be improved upon.

Boutique hotel in old Georgian just off princes street. Modern rooms plush duvets and with huge walk in showers. Breakfast was very good especially liked the haggis a nice Scottish touch. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We ended up having problems with door key card four or five times and they were speedy to assist. Saturday night seemed like the downstairs bar and restaurant was the place to be. We had a drink but had plaaned elsewhere for dinner. May be wise to book ahead.

We stayed in Edinburgh for 3 days, and booking at this hotel was one of the best decisions we made. First of all, the manager was very welcoming, very pleasant to be around. He even helped us with booking for the highlands tour in such a short notice. Breakfast is wonderful, withe a range of choices we can have to start the day off. The ambiance of the place is so calm and relaxing. The rooms and facilites are very clean and well maintained. The hotel is conveniently situated within walking distance from almost all the places you must visit at the city. At a very affordable price, it greatly exceeded our expectations and we had such a wonderful time. Everything came so easy, I recommend this to everyone planning to visit Edinburgh.

We stayed for 3 nights. Everything was fine: room was spacious and cosy with king sized bed and little extras like USB charger, one European plug socket, hairdryer and sweets in the fridge. Breakfast was really awesome with lots of fresh food and delicious treats to order. As the Indigo is located on Princes Street nearby the railway station you get access to both the old and new toon and to Carlton Hill within 10 min by feet. One thing to criticize? On a saturday night we had to wait about 45 min (!) for our drinks on the crowdy hotel bar. But in the meantime we could watch the middle aged party people and hens. Animal prints (leopard) seems to be high in fashion this season! ;-) Explore Edinburgh, stay at the Indigo!

I stayed at No.11 Brunswick on 2 separate occasions bookending a tour to the Highlands in the middle, and I adore this boutique hotel! The story behind this house gives it such character, which I found charming and apt considering Edinburgh and Scotland is full of stories both real and in folklore. The hotel is on the New Town side, on a quiet street about 15 mins walk to Waverly station. A lovely change from the standard lodges or hotels in the city. I stayed in a single room (room 4) in the first part, and really liked the space of the single room; quite different to other single rooms of standard hotels I have stayed at previously. The bathroom has no door but who needs one in a single room :) There is plenty of light coming into the room with its floor to ceiling windows which I appreciated, and the furnishings are classical and contributes to the hotel's character. I found the room cosy and warm, again quite different to other draughty hotel rooms in the UK and one thing I was grateful for as I am from the tropics. I returned to No.11 after visiting the Highlands to a double room (room 10) on the top floor and that was my favourite and it really felt like I was coming home. The high windows, luscious bed, muted grey tones of this room was so welcoming I ended up NOT going out that evening but instead stayed in, borrowed a DVD from the hotel's lounge and almost didn't want to check out the next day! Last thing that I was very impressed with is the impeccable service by Richard and Mindi at the front desk who took the trouble to remember my name, greet me with lovely smiles and made me feel at home. Monika at the restaurant was also lovely during breakfast, making sure I had enough tobasco sauce for my Scottish fry up. I'm so glad I found a bit of Edinburgh I can consider home - No.11, see you soon, I shall be back!

We enjoyed a lovely stay in this iconic hotel, all the staff are friendly and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The bedroom was a good size and the bed and bedlinen were sumptuous! We ate in the Prince Brasserie early evening and the food was delicious! The entire ambience was a delight! If I was was being a tad critical we enjoyed the Spa facilities, early swim etc..but I'd say that the Spa/ pool area could do with a little updating. Overall.....I'd return in a heartbeat!
