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

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.

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.

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.

Excellent location for races
Overall very good, a couple of little things that would cost the owners minimal amount. 3 keys as no night porter(not an issue) but all silver, a small investment, room key larger so obvious but the 2 front door keys very similar Make one gold and, when told on arrival will make life so much simpler. Plus beautiful shower, but no where to put soap . 7 soap trays, and 7 keys won't cost much but enhance guest experiences immensely without them realising, sometimes little things really help. Having said this will be back with own shower gel to hang on shower😃

Good short stay
Booked in for an overnight stay for visiting relatives. Being a Sunday night the rate was very good and included breakfast. Had a bit of a wait to check in as the duty manager was in another room organizing things for a function but someone in the bar summoned him and all was good. He showed us to our room and gave us all the information regarding late entry and breakfast time. The room was ok although a little tired but it was clean. We also had a walk in shower which is preferable for us instead of a shower over a bath. The hotel has recently done away with the services of a night porter I believe which proved on this occasion to be a bit of an oversight as we were rudely awakened about 4.50am by a loud alarm. I think there were 4 or 5 couples staying and we all assembled outside as this alarm went on for ages until the manager arrived to assure us that there was no fire. Just as well really as all of us took the time to get dressed before assembling outside, it was December after all!! All in all an enjoyable enough stay, breakfast was good so a good all round hotel.

2/10 Poor

Friendly staff on arrival. Bedroom cold on arrival. Had to ask staff to turn the heating on in bedroom. Went out for the evening to come back to a cold bedroom. Heating didn’t come on at all overnight. I was freezing with a thin duvet. An alarm went off after 1am in the hotel then buzzing noises and people talking loud. Told the morning staff about my cold room and they apologied. Breakfast was basic. No fruit etc on offer. Only boxed cereal and hot breakfast (in various forms, fry up, hot rolls) and when I asked for pancakes with berries and cream I was asked if I really wanted them as it’s a big portion. Will never be back.

Excellent service and great value for money
Had a wonderful stay at Ravelston House! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The location is fantastic, with excellent transport links that made getting around a breeze. It’s also great value for money, especially considering the level of service provided. The only small issue was a strange smell around the headboard or beddings—almost like wet fabric that hadn’t dried properly. It wasn’t a major problem, but something that could be improved. Overall, a lovely place to stay, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. With that minor tweak, it would be absolutely perfect!

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

PRO: Well worth the price compared to alternative options, I’d go again. Wifi worked in bedroom, complimentary breakfast and free parking. Bed was comfy. CON: Bedroom cleaning could be improved between guests. Lots of overnight noises.

Perfect little Gem 💎
Just arrived home from Ravelston house staying 3 nights 08/10/24 to 11/10 /24 and wow what to say . Would like to shout out how great the staff are , all so friendly specially vinny & Ewan both full of helpful tips and advise on how to get about and what to see vinny is an amazing man so friendly and nothing is to much bother always with a smile 😃. The hotel is perfectly located with bus stops literally outside the carpark entrance and cheap to get in and out of Edinburgh city , food is great with plenty of choice, rooms are a good size with nice decor and a big shower . Only small negative comment is the mattress had a few springs that you could feel luckily there was a 2nd duvet so we slept on one and under the other so it was ok they could do with a small investment in new ones. Its located just a 5 min walk from the beach and dock we luckily saw the northern lights on our last night from the beach 😃👍 . Would highly recommend this hotel for all reasons thank you for an amazingstay in Musselburgh just outsideEdinburgh. Allan & Lesley Fincken . Room 1 .
