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.

The bedroom was clean and comfortable, had a great sleep( very quiet). The staff were friendly. Decent bar with reasonable prices. My only gripe was breakfast. The beans, mushroom, haggis and black pudding were cold. Would stay again though......

Liked warm and inviting layout of the room, little bedside table with extra pull out shelf, small bathroom window, superb shower and quality well prepared and presented breakfast with waitress service included in room price. Only thing I would add is a small shampoo/shower gel in addition to the soap provided and perhaps a little complimentary individually wrapped shortbread, would have complemented the room theme perfectly.

This could have been so Much better staff were friendly and food was lovely but a few things let this place down. Had to wait ages for check in as staff overworked , heating did not work the lighting in bathroom kept going on and off with no bath mat or hand towel , lighting in bedroom was not ideal 2 small lamps would be better and the bed was only a small double and very hard and uncomfortable pillows

Our stay at the Ravelston was fantastic. From the unique check-in at the bar (with the most energetic bartenders) to breakfast the next morning with the most genuine restaurant staff, our stay was awesome. The room was clean, with cute decor, and had the best shower. The neighborhood is quiet, convenient, and safe. If ever back in Edinburgh, we will be staying here again.

We liked our stay here and the bus stop going to Edinburgh picks up almost right in front of the hotel. The breakfast is wonderful and Vinny is great and helpful. The chefs get two thumbs up. The music was fine and wraps up around 11pm and makes a fun atmosphere. My only issue is the other guests being loud going upstairs to their rooms at night. Common sense is not common as they say.

Nice enough area down by beach Hotel approx half an hour on bus out of Edinburgh Room fine, bed small, bathroom nice. Had to ask for towels as room wasn’t serviced over the 3nights. Food was average. This is a function venue, is very loud so be prepared. Two staff stood out both on breakfast duty the mornings we were there..

After reading so many negative reviews i was apprehensive about our stay,i need not of worried. Although the external ground and gardens may need a tidy up,i was pleasantly surprised by the internal decor,staff were obliging when asked about parking arrangements,and directions to the racecourse spot on.On returning we found the bar very busy and although having to wait a couple of minutes to check in,we were greeted with a smile and told of room arrangements and food availability.Rooms are large and beautifully decorated,obviously newly done and even with the bar been busy we heard no noise from below,we were in room 5..Massive bed and super shower.We ate in the bar,half price Wednesday,no wonder it was busy.Food was superb for the price..One enchillada and one special tagliatelle wih rump steak,both very tasty and plentiful..Staff very pleasant.After a good nights sleep,we headed down to breakfast and the very pleasant Vinnie a member of the breakfast staff.Once again breakfast was superb,beautifully presented and tasty produce a massive thumbs up.Wouldnt hesutate to stay again with great bus links into Edinburgh and walking distance to racecourse.Rooms are great,staff pleasant and free car parking a massive bonus.Dont be put off by the fascade,as not every book can be judged by its cover.
