Pleasant stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The concierge was extremely helpful with dinner suggestions, making reservations for us and directing us to the bus we needed to take. Would come back to the hotel again and recommend it to friends traveling to Edinburgh.

Good stay in Edinburgh

Room was lovely, nice and big. Was a rare sunny week in Scotland, and the room was really hot in the sun. The bed was big but didn’t find it very comfortable and my back hurt afterwards… pool and sauna was nice but the pool was slightly too cold and the sauna also needed to be hotter, cost saving / eco measures for sure but couldn’t get a sweat on in the sauna

Disliked: Staff & service

Front desk team was nice but that is about it. Room was given late due to miscommunication between cleaning staff and front desk, beds are extremely uncomfortable (very cheap mattress), our room had no body shampoo and was not filled even after I explained that to room service, we ordered food but front desk forgot to place it and after 1 hour and multiple follow ups they realized it was a miss. I will not come back for this hotel, and I do not recommend it to anyone.

Brilliant location for exploring Edinburgh, lovely staff in the main and great room. what lets it down is the attention to detail, the brass plates on the doors for example covered with finger prints and not cleaned whilst we were there, sand on our floor (sorry) and not hoovered, breakfast not kept replenished even though we were right in the middle, tables not wiped properly otherwise wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel

Very calm and well run Marriott; the staff were very helpful, from the front desk to the bartenders. It's far enough out from the Old Town to be pretty quiet most of the week (though there was some local revelry on Friday), but right on the 35 Bus so you can get back and forth to tourist. Plus, only 5-10 minutes from Holyrood Park if you are interested in hiking. Would definitely book again when I am back in Edinburgh.

Thoroughly enjoyed 2 night stay in March. Overall, everything excellent. From arrival - lovely reception, friendly, helpful staff. Room - large, comfortable and very well equipped. Breakfast - service and food excellent. Pool and Sauna very welcome after a day touring Edinburgh. Bar staff knowledgeable and friendly. Housekeeping staff friendly and efficient. 12 midday check out straightforward and seamless, again friendly, helpful staff. Would not hesitate to recommend. Location excellent and hotel exceeded expectation. Would definitely return in the future.
