Nice Hotel, Great Location
I was slightly concerned about staying at the Ballantrae Hotel, from reading some of the reviews. However, I didn’t need to worry as it really was ok. The location was great, just a short walk to the shops and Christmas Market, and the tram stopped just down the road. All the receptionists were friendly and welcoming. The room was a decent size, nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean and modern. The continental breakfast was as expected, and set us up for a day of walking. So all in all, I was very happy with the Ballantrae Hotel.

great location, nice people.
minor problems dealt with really quickly, - we were immediately offered another room in case the stairs would be a problem- (booked into the top room, which in Edinburgh can mean needing a sherpa) nice people, spacious rooms, recently fitted bathrooms.....great central location. didn't take breakfast option so can't comment.. hipster coffee across the road too tempting..

It was very dirty. My heating did not work, so asked staff for help. They did not want to know. Ended up sleeping in cloths. Shower was filthy so did not want to use. I was told this was one of the best rooms if so one dread to think what the other rooms would be like
