Stayed between September 1st - 3rd 2020.

Location: Walking distance to Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh High Street, Edinburgh Station

Booked via Amex Fine Hotel & Resort offer. On arrival, our room was upgraded to Robert Louis Stevenson Suite. Great offer indeed and the gentleman at the counter was very kind and professional. The room is huge with a separate living room and a very clear Edinburgh castle view.

In addition to the room upgrade, we were offered free breakfasts for the two days via Amex FHR. The service level was overall top notch even comparing to the 5 star hotels in London.

We had an afternoon tea at Peacock Alley and it was indeed a good experience as well. During our 5 days staying in Edinburgh, we stayed at The Balmoral and Waldorf Astoria. Many people comparing these two hotels for a top place to stay in Edinburgh.

Based on our experience we can confidently recommend that Waldorf Astoria is better than The Balmoral in terms of service level and the room condition.
