Fabulous staff and delicious meaks
Staff were very friendly , helpful and polite.We had breakfasts and dinners there and they were delicious and freshly cooked. Our room was clean but cold on occasions. The shower sealant needs replacing because it has mould on it. Excellent location for getting the bus into Edinburgh.

Bad luck continuing???
We checked in then weather warning were sent to our phones then we were advised shopping centres around were closing so we made the decision to go home, so although the room looked nice and the bathroom very nice, we didn’t actually stay at the hotel. We had food in the restaurant before we left and it was nice enough

Wonderful staff, a great bar and the restaurant was excellent. I had the beef pie one night and the haddock fish & chips the other.
I'm very glad I got the chance to stay here.

Great hotel. The room and bathroom was really stylish. Saw a couple of cobwebs, which may bother some people. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm.
A great choice for breakfast from a full Scottish to pancakes. There was unlimited tea and coffee and cereal.
The buses into Edinburgh are regular and drop you right into Princes street so it's just a great location for exploring the city without paying a lot.
We would consider staying here 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......

Very happy with our stay
The room was lovely. Well appointed and spacious. I did find it a bit cold bit we turned the radiators up and chucked on the extra duvet from the wardrobe. The only downside was that i never received an email that was apparently sent regarding check in times etc. Unfortunately we then weren't aware that we needed to arrive before 10pm. Thankfully we called the hotel en route to check because the journey was a long one and we had been held up and a member of staff kindly stayed behind to check us in when we got there at 10.30pm.
Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of choice and the lady serving at breakfast was lovely.

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.

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.
