Loved staying at this hotel. Regular buses to Edinburgh and nice seaside area.
The breakfast was typical Scottish/english breakfasts and enjoyable.
The bed was very comfy and I liked the decor in the room.

We got absolutely no sleep with my 4 year old as there was very loud music all night, there were then revelers singing at the top of their voices outside until 2pm. Completely and utterly thoughtless to anyone staying there. There should be a warning to residents not connected to a private party and that the live music will go on til 12am with no soundproofing. I realise it's Saturday night. I heard people constantly asking for the singer to play on. I think a manager should step in and think of residents sleeping. Id like to ask for compensation of some kind as we had an awful time. Thanks
This small hotel was homely and friendly, and suited us well as it was close to family we were visiting. Perhaps because it was between Christmas and New Year, there were few staff and our room was not serviced during our three night stay- we had to make our own bed, and there were no hand towels or bath mat. The soap holder was missing from the shower. However, the room was pleasant and comfortable. The cooked breakfast was made to order ,and was good.
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.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Room was large, bed was very comfortable. Everything was sparkling clean.
Breakfast was excellent.
Would highly recommend.
Wonderful staff, a great bar and the restaurant was excellent. I had the beef pie one night and the haddock fish & chips the other.
I'm very glad I got the chance to stay here.
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

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
PRO: Well worth the price compared to alternative options, I’d go again. Wifi worked in bedroom, complimentary breakfast and free parking. Bed was comfy.
CON: Bedroom cleaning could be improved between guests. Lots of overnight noises.
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.
