Top Balerno Hotel Reviews

Moxy Edinburgh Airport

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff were real nice and helpful."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Space is at a premium in downtown Edinburgh. The Ibis has managed to make the tight space in the rooms efficient, clean and comfortable. The mattress was very comfortable which I appreciated after hiking around the city. The hotel is in an excellent location to walk to many museums, theatres and tourist sites."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Apex always seems good value for money. It is in a very convenient, albeit crowded location, but our room was very comfortable and quiet. Very near all you want to see in Edinburgh. There is a tunnel at bottom floor that gives you an easier access to the train station...much better than fighting the hordes on the main street. Did not use any of their amenities as we were only in the city a short time, but would definitely recommend."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Balerno?

The best area to stay in Balerno is the village center, particularly around Main Street and Cockburn Crescent.

This area forms the heart of Balerno, offering a quaint and convenient base with easy access to local amenities. Main Street features a selection of independent shops, cafes, and local pubs, providing a pleasant village experience. The area is also well-connected by public transport to Edinburgh's city center, making it a good option if you plan to explore both the village and the city.

Couples looking for a relaxing retreat will appreciate the village center. Its quiet atmosphere and access to nearby walking paths, such as those leading to the Water of Leith, offer a peaceful escape. You're also close to local eateries for convenient dining.

Families will find the village center appealing due to its community feel and proximity to local parks and green spaces.

When is the best time to go to Balerno?

The best time to visit Balerno is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and the days are longest.

Should you prefer to avoid the peak tourist season but still enjoy pleasant weather, late spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) are also good options. Temperatures are cooler, but the crowds are smaller, and you can often find better value on accommodations.
