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.

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.

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!

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

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 .
