This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. At first glance, the room appeared clean and well-maintained. However, while resting on the bed, I pulled back the blanket and was horrified to find something resembling a bandage or small pad with what looked like blood stuck to the edge of the blanket. It was absolutely revolting and completely ruined my stay. The issues didn’t end there. The shower had mold on the sealant and a clump of hair in the middle of the shower floor. On top of that, someone had left rubbish in the ice machine dispenser, and the air filter in the ice dispenser was completely clogged with dust. Adding to the discomfort, there was a strong, lingering chemical stench on the second floor. While the front desk staff promptly moved us to a new room, which was problem-free, I couldn’t relax or sleep easily, as the image of the bandage kept coming back to me. The lobby itself didn’t help matters either—it felt more like a hospital than a supposedly 4-star hotel. Overall, this experience left a lot to be desired and fell far below the standards I expected.

Tv wasn’t working. The noise coming from outside was unbearable, from 7”8 am thru 3 pm for three days straight. The breakfast Buffett is pretty good, though, and so is location next to the university.

Clean, modern, and spacious suites made for a very comfortable stay. Location was also very central, just a few minutes away from the Royal Mile and lots of great eateries near by. Lastly, they have a guest laundry room which was great for freshening up our outfits before continuing on with our journey. Highly recommended!

We had a nice stay. When we arrived, they had actually upgraded us to a room with 2 double beds instead of one double bed and the pullout cot for our son. So, he was happy. The staff was super great, the place was clean, beds were comfortable, an easy walk to Waverly Station for us, and breakfast was great. There is a little store around the corner for last minute needs or snacks. Would stay again if we returned to Edinburgh.

This was not a hotel. There was no restaurant for evening meals and breakfast was served in the lobby which was very much catch as catch can and seating was disorganized. The facilities - rooms etc - were very nice but the style of the place was more an upmarket motel rather than what I would expect from a Marriott hotel. That said the young lady who checked us in was extremely helpful, gave us an upgrade and some excellent recommendations for dinner. There were kitchen facilities in the rooms which leads me to conclude there was an expectation that you could prepare your own dinner. If you are wanting a fully serviced hotel this is not the place.
