4/10 Fair

The kettle did not switch off, so we risked burns every time we used it. The bathroom door handle did not work and one of the towels was covered with stains. There was no room cleaning during our stay. Be aware you can hear bar noise from the rooms. Not such an issue during the week when the bar closes at 10pm. On the positive side, car parking was easy and there were bus stops to Edinburgh right outside. The breakfast was also well cooked. Felt overpriced.

Bad luck continuing???
We checked in then weather warning were sent to our phones then we were advised shopping centres around were closing so we made the decision to go home, so although the room looked nice and the bathroom very nice, we didn’t actually stay at the hotel. We had food in the restaurant before we left and it was nice enough

Very happy with our stay
The room was lovely. Well appointed and spacious. I did find it a bit cold bit we turned the radiators up and chucked on the extra duvet from the wardrobe. The only downside was that i never received an email that was apparently sent regarding check in times etc. Unfortunately we then weren't aware that we needed to arrive before 10pm. Thankfully we called the hotel en route to check because the journey was a long one and we had been held up and a member of staff kindly stayed behind to check us in when we got there at 10.30pm. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of choice and the lady serving at breakfast was lovely.

Great hotel. The room and bathroom was really stylish. Saw a couple of cobwebs, which may bother some people. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm. A great choice for breakfast from a full Scottish to pancakes. There was unlimited tea and coffee and cereal. The buses into Edinburgh are regular and drop you right into Princes street so it's just a great location for exploring the city without paying a lot. We would consider staying here again.

2/10 Poor

We got absolutely no sleep with my 4 year old as there was very loud music all night, there were then revelers singing at the top of their voices outside until 2pm. Completely and utterly thoughtless to anyone staying there. There should be a warning to residents not connected to a private party and that the live music will go on til 12am with no soundproofing. I realise it's Saturday night. I heard people constantly asking for the singer to play on. I think a manager should step in and think of residents sleeping. Id like to ask for compensation of some kind as we had an awful time. Thanks

Fabulous staff and delicious meaks
Staff were very friendly , helpful and polite.We had breakfasts and dinners there and they were delicious and freshly cooked. Our room was clean but cold on occasions. The shower sealant needs replacing because it has mould on it. Excellent location for getting the bus into Edinburgh.

Excellent location for races
Overall very good, a couple of little things that would cost the owners minimal amount. 3 keys as no night porter(not an issue) but all silver, a small investment, room key larger so obvious but the 2 front door keys very similar Make one gold and, when told on arrival will make life so much simpler. Plus beautiful shower, but no where to put soap . 7 soap trays, and 7 keys won't cost much but enhance guest experiences immensely without them realising, sometimes little things really help. Having said this will be back with own shower gel to hang on shower😃

4/10 Fair

This small hotel was homely and friendly, and suited us well as it was close to family we were visiting. Perhaps because it was between Christmas and New Year, there were few staff and our room was not serviced during our three night stay- we had to make our own bed, and there were no hand towels or bath mat. The soap holder was missing from the shower. However, the room was pleasant and comfortable. The cooked breakfast was made to order ,and was good.

We had a great two night stay at the Ravelston House Hotel. Room was very comfortable with an excellent en suite. Tea and coffee provided and the included breakfast was also very good. Bar menu was good, can recommend the haddock. Easy links in and out of the city by very frequent buses which stop within a few yards of the hotel in either direction. We’d definitely stay there again.

Good short stay
Booked in for an overnight stay for visiting relatives. Being a Sunday night the rate was very good and included breakfast. Had a bit of a wait to check in as the duty manager was in another room organizing things for a function but someone in the bar summoned him and all was good. He showed us to our room and gave us all the information regarding late entry and breakfast time. The room was ok although a little tired but it was clean. We also had a walk in shower which is preferable for us instead of a shower over a bath. The hotel has recently done away with the services of a night porter I believe which proved on this occasion to be a bit of an oversight as we were rudely awakened about 4.50am by a loud alarm. I think there were 4 or 5 couples staying and we all assembled outside as this alarm went on for ages until the manager arrived to assure us that there was no fire. Just as well really as all of us took the time to get dressed before assembling outside, it was December after all!! All in all an enjoyable enough stay, breakfast was good so a good all round hotel.

2/10 Poor

Friendly staff on arrival. Bedroom cold on arrival. Had to ask staff to turn the heating on in bedroom. Went out for the evening to come back to a cold bedroom. Heating didn’t come on at all overnight. I was freezing with a thin duvet. An alarm went off after 1am in the hotel then buzzing noises and people talking loud. Told the morning staff about my cold room and they apologied. Breakfast was basic. No fruit etc on offer. Only boxed cereal and hot breakfast (in various forms, fry up, hot rolls) and when I asked for pancakes with berries and cream I was asked if I really wanted them as it’s a big portion. Will never be back.

Excellent service and great value for money
Had a wonderful stay at Ravelston House! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The location is fantastic, with excellent transport links that made getting around a breeze. It’s also great value for money, especially considering the level of service provided. The only small issue was a strange smell around the headboard or beddings—almost like wet fabric that hadn’t dried properly. It wasn’t a major problem, but something that could be improved. Overall, a lovely place to stay, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. With that minor tweak, it would be absolutely perfect!
