From the moment we walked into the grand lobby and enjoyed afternoon tea, we felt the highest level of hospitality. The afternoon tea here was the best we had in the UK — elegant, delicious, and unforgettable. Our room was beautiful and comfortable, with thoughtful details everywhere. The restaurant was also outstanding. Every dish was well prepared and full of flavor, making dining here a highlight of our stay. Combined with impeccable service and a perfect location in Edinburgh, The Balmoral is simply exceptional. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9ef144c7-c326-42aa-b8d2-70f6092b8d32-1758533119671.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/147138c6-ec47-49b5-890c-3f8d900e8fda-1758533119951.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a19635dd-7db5-451f-a7c5-29f86236f672-1758533118754.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2fccbb63-21f5-40ba-b075-2b2fc9383567-1758533120059.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sunny Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sonya Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities While the service team is very well trained and professional the property decor and rooms are not opulent as displayed online.
