Disliked: Room comfort
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 .

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.

Nice enough area down by beach Hotel approx half an hour on bus out of Edinburgh Room fine, bed small, bathroom nice. Had to ask for towels as room wasn’t serviced over the 3nights. Food was average. This is a function venue, is very loud so be prepared. Two staff stood out both on breakfast duty the mornings we were there..
