Loved staying here. Large room, large very comfortable bed. Great breakfast options. Staff very nice and helpful. Enjoyed the pool and sauna after long day of walking around Edinburgh. Can walk to Waverley station with luggage (15min). Slightly out of the heavy tourist area (next to uni campus) but only minutes walk to Royal mile etc. lots of great meal options close by. Definitely would stay here again.

Location was ok. Walkable to Royal mile. My room was was on -1. Horrible view of parking lot, where carts rolled by, people smoking and talking. I think room was recently remodeled, no phone or mini refrigerator. Breakfast choice not great, packaged mini croissants, limited selection. Service at restaurant at night was awful, waited for a dessert, waited for check, took almost an hour for 1dessert, which was mediocre. Bar had good selection of drinks. Just not up to Marriott standards and very expensive for room that was tiny but I guess consistent with European market.

Great Location and staff
The location is great! Just a 2 minute walk from the middle of the royal mile, close to Holyrood Palace and the hop on and off sightseeing bus stop. The room was nice and bathrooms was clean. Our only complaint was the mini fridge in our room had a rotten smell. Despite several attempts of the staff to clean the fridge and remove it fully. The smell rendered it useless for us. We avoided opening it or using the space around it. The hotel breakfast is pretty good, typical fare you would expect. Make sure you ask the staff for eggs the way you prefer- definitely enhanced the experience for us. Donald at concierge and Gabriela at the front were so kind and helpful. Donny helped us organize some excellent tours! Overall we enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to be back.

Good hotel. Well located for shopping and sights in central area. Extra fees include room service of 7 pounds for food, every time you get room service. Also you pay 25 pounds for parking per day. My first night I was given an extra bed with unclean linen so they had to change it. Thats why I gave a 3 star. The second room we got was clean though. I paid higher season rates so really expect the service to be proffessional. Staff all doing a fairly good job. We were really tired independent travellors at the end of our trip so needed some comfort and relaxation. Unfortunately in both rooms only 15 tissue hankies were provided. This was ... stingy and weird.

Fringe event trip
Pleasant hotel well placed for the city centre and for fringe events. Noise du the night from somewhere outside but living in a quiet rural community maybe not used to city noise. Strange that it was a room for disabled people as you still had to climb into a bath to use the shower. Parking close by and discounted
