The whole lovely experience of this hotel started from entering the establishment! The guy on the front door was extremely helpful and offered to take our bags, he accompanied us to reception where we didn't wait long to get checked in, the man on the front desk was great, he checked us in really quick and offered to show us to our room. The room was lovely as was the view over Princes Street gardens and the castle, on our arrival in our room there was a lovely congratulations card from the Manager Andrew and also a complimentary bottle of champagne and a couple of beautiful cakes. We visited the hotel for our honeymoon and all staff that we had interactions with were congratulating us both which was lovely. We had an evening meal booked at the One Restaurant attached to the hotel and on our return to our room, someone had put a beautiful love heart of rose petals on our bed, turned our beds down and placed slippers next to our beds. Overall, I find that attention to detail in prestige hotels separates them from the rest & The Balmoral is up there with the best. My new wife and I had a fantastic experience & I would whole heartedly recommend anyone to stay in this hotel, we just wisjh we had the time to stay longer!! I would also like to comment on the whisky bar experience we had on Saturday evening. The barmen were extremely knowledgeable and helpful regarding our drinking experience in the hotel. I am not normally a whisky drinker but thought I would partake as we were in Scotland, picked a prestige whisky & the barman (apologies for forgetting his name) gave me information about the whisky that I had picked, he offered me to sample the bouquet of the whisky, poured it and left the bottle with me to take pictures with it which we thought was very thoughtful.
The weather!
