We arrived well after their last. Check in time of 10pm, which we weren't aware of(our fault for not reading the fine print). We were able to contact one of the principles of the inn and he immediately sent someone from home down to accomodate us. We were very grateful as we had just flown to London and drove 7 hours to Edinburgh and were exhausted. Sincere thanks and keep up the great work

Room decor is good and new, shower excellent. Breakfast cooked fresh and service great. Evening meal was ok, again service good. Areas to improve, mattresses, felt very well used, lumpy as were pillows, did not match room standard. Room cleanliness needs some work, cobwebs, eyelash on floor, bed not made when out of room. Live music Friday and Saturday night quite loud in room as was post clean up staff voices till well after midnight.

The property, service and cleanliness were excellent even though they were under staffed it did not affect the service. It was surrounded by commercial businesses which would have put us off booking had we known however, it did spoil our stay it just didn't make for scenic breakfasts. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff were.

We were looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay near Edinburgh, but unfortunately, this accommodation didn’t meet those expectations. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever tried to sleep on- uneven with no support, and if you shifted around too much, you’d hit the hard base underneath (ouch!). The bathroom door handle also came straight off just from opening it and the electric kettle looked like it was never cleaned. The biggest issue was the noise: there was live music until midnight (on Fridays), and our room was directly above and near the entrance, making it extremely loud. On a positive note, the town itself was charming, and the beach was easily accessible. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a good night’s sleep, as it seems to be the town’s nightlife hub.

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.
