Generally quite nice, but the seating in the room was so uncomfortable as to be unusable. It may have been the chain's top designer who picked the chairs, but the designer could never have sat in them and tried to read. Otherwise, quite nice, with a great (though expensive) restaurant in the hotel.

Balmoral Hotel
The Balmoral Hotel is an amazing historic building placed right in the middle of the new town and old town. It is an excellent location to see all the major sights of Edinburgh. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful for all of our needs. I would love to return and stay again. Highly recommendable!
