Wonderful stay in Edinburgh. Property is located in a great spot, making many sights walkable. Room was comfortable although it got quite warm at night even with air con on. Breakfast was lovely but we wished there had been some vending and bottled water available near or in the room.

Rooms were spacious, clean and quiet.Great beds and nicely appointed. Dining was another matter. We spent 2 nights and the menu was fine, then took a 3 day tour of the Sky. When we returned the menu had completely changed and other than fish and chips, which we had been eating a lot of in London and Scotland, there was NOTHING on the menu my husband could eat. He is allergic to all things dairy (except eggs), sulfides, including shelfish, garlic, and onions, and does not eat meat (beef, lamb or pork). They removed the tuna fish sandwich and a quinoa bowl salad. We were very disappointed as the rest of our experianced here was great.

front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was very plain and service was slow. The lobster Bisque was very salty, and the fish and chips was very plain. probably the least tasty of the 10 plus places that we had fish and chips on our trip to Scotland. Very inconvenient getting around in the hotel. we had to go to different levels and long hallways with various direction changes to get to our room. bed was very hard and uncomfortable.

Nice rooms and breakfasts. We were pretty busy so we didn’t have a chance to use the spa. Hotel is convenient to Holyrood and Dynamic Earth but less so to activities around Edinburgh Castle.

Good hotel. We were here for three nights. Would recommend that the rooms have microwaves. Location is good for walks to the Royal Mile and there is a Hop-o-hop-off bus stop at Dynamic Earth. Happy with our stay.

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.
