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.

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.

Whilst sitting in my room the door opened and it was a young lad, an opportunist theft! If I had been in the bathroom I would have been subject to this thief. When my husband went down they had gone. on speaking to the staff he got ‘we have these issues!!’ Not what you want to hear. The 2 front doors are left open, maybe if the inner door was closed they wouldnt have the opportunity of a fast easy exit down the stairs. My husband later spoke to the manager who hadn’t been told by his staff the lad had entered our room. Not somewhere I would stay again and would ask others to lock their room doors if they are staying there as this is ‘an issue they have’ and are not doing anything about it.

We liked the fact that it was a small boutique hotel. It was a little far from Edinburgh but having to take only one bus onto the city helped. The room was good and the bathroom was clean, modern and large so two people could use it easily.
