Good short stay
Booked in for an overnight stay for visiting relatives. Being a Sunday night the rate was very good and included breakfast. Had a bit of a wait to check in as the duty manager was in another room organizing things for a function but someone in the bar summoned him and all was good. He showed us to our room and gave us all the information regarding late entry and breakfast time. The room was ok although a little tired but it was clean. We also had a walk in shower which is preferable for us instead of a shower over a bath. The hotel has recently done away with the services of a night porter I believe which proved on this occasion to be a bit of an oversight as we were rudely awakened about 4.50am by a loud alarm. I think there were 4 or 5 couples staying and we all assembled outside as this alarm went on for ages until the manager arrived to assure us that there was no fire. Just as well really as all of us took the time to get dressed before assembling outside, it was December after all!! All in all an enjoyable enough stay, breakfast was good so a good all round hotel.

2/10 Poor

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!

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..

After reading so many negative reviews i was apprehensive about our stay,i need not of worried. Although the external ground and gardens may need a tidy up,i was pleasantly surprised by the internal decor,staff were obliging when asked about parking arrangements,and directions to the racecourse spot on.On returning we found the bar very busy and although having to wait a couple of minutes to check in,we were greeted with a smile and told of room arrangements and food availability.Rooms are large and beautifully decorated,obviously newly done and even with the bar been busy we heard no noise from below,we were in room 5..Massive bed and super shower.We ate in the bar,half price Wednesday,no wonder it was busy.Food was superb for the price..One enchillada and one special tagliatelle wih rump steak,both very tasty and plentiful..Staff very pleasant.After a good nights sleep,we headed down to breakfast and the very pleasant Vinnie a member of the breakfast staff.Once again breakfast was superb,beautifully presented and tasty produce a massive thumbs up.Wouldnt hesutate to stay again with great bus links into Edinburgh and walking distance to racecourse.Rooms are great,staff pleasant and free car parking a massive bonus.Dont be put off by the fascade,as not every book can be judged by its cover.

Whilst sitting in my room the door opened and it was a young lad, an opportunist theft! If I had been in the bathroom I would have been subject to this thief. When my husband went down they had gone. on speaking to the staff he got ‘we have these issues!!’ Not what you want to hear. The 2 front doors are left open, maybe if the inner door was closed they wouldnt have the opportunity of a fast easy exit down the stairs. My husband later spoke to the manager who hadn’t been told by his staff the lad had entered our room. Not somewhere I would stay again and would ask others to lock their room doors if they are staying there as this is ‘an issue they have’ and are not doing anything about it.
