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 .

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

We liked the fact that it was a small boutique hotel. It was a little far from Edinburgh but having to take only one bus onto the city helped. The room was good and the bathroom was clean, modern and large so two people could use it easily.

Nice cozy room above the pub. It is above a pub so it’s not quiet at night. This didn’t bother us but is worth noting. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable. Location is good with options for restaurants and grocery within walking distance. Under 10 mins drive to Wallyford train station for 10 min train ride into Edinburgh. Free parking was handy for the car as well

Booked this hotel as my best friend was getting married there and i live out of town so didnt want to spend alot of time and money travelling and getting caught in traffic jams. Hotel room was fabulous, bed was very comfortable and room were spacious. Shower was excellent, especially with there neon bath lights. Had dinner the first night with close friends and it was prefect homemade cooking food and the chicken and leek pie was delicious. Following night was meal from the wedding breakfast absolutely gorgeous especially the cheesecake. Both days had a selection of different breakfast options but i choice the pancakes and blueberries and Brodies coffee on both days. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back for a stay and if when in town will definitely drop in for some of Brodie's Coffee and cake or catch up with friends over dinner.

The room was a nice size. It had a bit of an odd smell but not too significant. The staff were very friendly and it was easy to re-enter after hours. The bathroom is newly renovated but has no place to put any shampoo/soap.

This was an excellent stay. Everything was just right about it. The rooms are lovely, the staff were very friendly, couldn't do enough for me. Even the poor chap who had to let me out for my VERY early 5.30am start. Will stay there again.
