Edinburgh Hotels with Balcony

"Novotel Edjnburgh is best hotel i must admit either comfortwise, cleanliness, leisures provided and most importantly location wise and a beautiful mountain view with snow covered from room. Adiitionally you will find major shops nearby 5 mins walk boyh food and amenities/cloth"

"Honestly beside the location(most famous street in Edinburgh) the hotel is overally overrated, for example, there is not any shade for terrace for raining times, the room was very small, the livrary always full of members cause there were just about six or seven seats to sit, I think that you can find a better hotel in Edinburgh with this price"

"I stayed at Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh from 22 February to 26 February 2026 in Room ***. Unfortunately, my experience fell significantly below the service and housekeeping standards expected of the Marriott brand. 1) 22 February 2026 (Check-in) Upon arrival, I immediately noticed several cleanliness issues with my room. The kettle was dusty and visibly dirty, the shower gel was completely empty, there were noticeable stains on the bed sheets, the shower room floor was unclean, and the shower water pressure was extremely poor. I reported these issues to the front desk on the same day. In addition, during the check-in process, the staff did not provide any information about hotel amenities, such as gym operating hours, availability of facilities like the ice machine or microwave, or other services. I only became aware of some of these facilities on my last day during check-out, which was disappointing. 2) 23 February 2026 The shampoo had run out and was not replenished during housekeeping services. I emailed the Front Office Manager regarding both the missing amenities and the ongoing low shower pressure issue. I did not receive any response. 3) 24 February 2026 The situation continued. Coffee and tea bags were not refilled, the stained bed sheets had still not been changed since Day 1 check-in, and both shampoo and conditioner were empty. I called the same Front Office Manager twice, and only shampoo was delivered. I then contacted the front desk twice more to clearly request conditioner, yet incorrect items were delivered again. As a result, the conditioner remained unreplenished for me for 3 consecutive days (22–24 February). 4) 25 February 2026 In the morning, I requested a new toothbrush through the front desk and was told housekeeping would provide one during housekeeping service. When I returned to my room after housekeeping, no toothbrush had been supplied. I later learned that when Trip.com contacted the hotel on my behalf regarding the service lapses, the Operations Manager informed them that everything had been “addressed and settled with me” which was not accurate. While individual staff members made partial attempts to assist, the repeated housekeeping lapses, lack of follow-up, and unresolved maintenance issue reflect systemic operational shortcomings rather than isolated mistakes. Throughout my entire stay (22–26 February), the shower water pressure issue remained unresolved. The hotel’s location is excellent and within walking distance of many major attractions, which helps save on public transport costs. However, good location alone does not compensate for the overall service deficiencies experienced during this stay. As a paying guest, I expected basic cleanliness, consistent replenishment of amenities, and responsive service, especially from a reputable hotel property like Marriott. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met during this stay."

"Great place to stay plenty around to do and great location with a sea and view of the forth rail bridge"

"I’m glad we are booked here Grassmarket as location is fantastic. Hotel is very well equipped with amenities o all good. Service staff are also very friendly and helpful even when busy and attending to several guests at once. Would highly recommend especially for first time tourists to Edinburgh. Only confusion was there are 2 APEX hotels almost next door to each other; make sure you are clear which one you booked."

"The room was great – spacious, convenient, and affordable. The views from outside were lovely, and it was easy to get around. The bubble tea shop downstairs served really good bubble tea, just like the ones back home. My only issue was that when I booked through Ctrip, it said breakfast was available, so I added it to my reservation. However, when I got to the hotel, I found out there was no restaurant, which contradicted what was stated on Ctrip. Luckily, after I reported it to Ctrip, they quickly resolved the issue and refunded the extra breakfast fee."

"This was by far the most comfortable and cleanest accommodation of our entire trip! We booked various types of rooms – hotels, apartments, B&Bs, and countryside inns – and this one truly stood out. Every single spot in the room was exceptionally clean, absolutely spotless! The fridge was stocked with complimentary drinks and milk, provided according to the number of guests. The towels were thick, the bedding was pristine, and even the countertop below the bathroom mirror was sparkling clean! The location is excellent, very close to the art gallery, making it convenient to get around. Downstairs, there's a Coop and a bakery, and it's not far from a very popular hotpot restaurant in Edinburgh. Shopping is also easy, with small shops like Jo Malone, Barbour, and The North Face nearby if you fancy a browse. If there's one thing that could be improved, it would be the laundry room – it's a bit too small and feels a little damp. Other than that, everything was perfect!"

"Room was quite small but very thoughtfully laid out. Bed was extremely comfortable and the amenities were good quality - Molton Brown toiletries, GHD hairdryer and Nespresso coffee machine. The complimentary drink at 5pm was a nice touch. The only downside was the lack of breakfast in the hotel itself. However, we had a good discounted breakfast at The Huxley and a 50% discount at Castle Terrace car park."

"The absolute best thing about this hotel is the service! We checked in late at night, tired and cold after getting off the train. Isabel at the front desk was incredibly thoughtful, preparing various hot drinks for us, and cookies and teddy bears for the kids. She personally escorted us to our room, engaging in such a warm and fun interaction with my two children along the way that they absolutely adored her! During our conversation, Isabel learned about the kids' favorite colors and toys. The next evening, she even came to our room to deliver gifts for them, which made the kids incredibly happy! My older daughter repeatedly told me to make sure to give a huge shout-out to the lovely Isabel! The hotel's location is also great, convenient for both the train station and the attractions in the Old Town. The breakfast restaurant offers a nice view as well."

"Wonderful location with an adorable room. I also bought a some food for a pack lunch for a tour the next day but there wasn’t a fridge and the staff was super helpful by keeping the food in a fridge until the morning for me."
