Great location for our Scottish Half Marathon or for getting a bus into Edinburgh centre. Well appointed room with comfy bed & awesome shower!
Welcoming staff & relaxed atmosphere, we'll definitely stay here again.
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

Room was ok and bathroom really nice. But the pub atmosphere was a bit of a let down.
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.
Very nice stay with great access to Edinburgh by bus. Musselburgh beach was a quick walk away. Parking was very easy and the staff members were pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious and well equipped.
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.
The property and staff were great,ideally located for Edinburgh and local attractions,but the local area was not that good.Overall it was ok , but not the best.
Ravelston House is a great location to get to the city of Edinburgh by bus.The hotel is nicely decorated .Our bedroom has a comfy bed and nice new ensuite shower room.The lovely restaurant has a good menu and friendly staff .The fish and chips and steak pie were tasty and nicely cooked.The scottish full breakfast was lovely and keeps you going until well into the afternoon.The harbour
was just around the corner from the hotel.We would stay again to see more of the area.Thank you.
Very friendly staff, comfortable bed with a modern clean bathroom, proper Iron Bru in a glass bottle! Also walking distance from train station, very cheap to Edinburgh.
It was a unique place to stay and the food in the restaurant was good, but it's above a bar and you can hear your neighbors loud and clear from in your room.
Very comfortable room. Everyone on staff was friendly and helpful. Special thanks to our waitress who spent a great deal of time helping us understand how and where to catch the buses we wanted.
