The room was good, bed comfortable. The desk staff were good for the most part but the man who checked us in wasn’t particularly clear in his voice. He asked us if we’d booked breakfast - I thought we had. He said it wasn’t showing and asked us to check and come back and let him know. We didn’t come back, of course as 6 floors is a bit far to come down. It was my mistake as my booking seemed to not show the breakfast booking. The room was a little loud at the back of the property as it was overlooking a school and the windows were letting in a bit of cold air. Perhaps time for some thicker windows! However, the room was nice and comfortable, the lobby area modern and stylish (also spotless). The location is great for a walk down the Royal Mile and you are a 5 minute walk from any buses to get you around town. I think i would stay here again! The prices when booking were fairly reasonable. They even left a special birthday plate with treats on it in my room.

OK.

No storage for non hanging garments. No coffee machine. A bit ‘tired’ in places. But did its job overall.

Appalling breakfast

Our room and stay was very good although we found breakfast appalling. The cooked breakfast was disgusting and of short supply and had to wait 15 minutes for someone to fill up the coffee jug. In hindsight i wish we had just gone out for breakfast instead.

A lovely stay at Edinburgh Marriott Hotel.

Other than the reception manager forgetting to phone me to let me know our room was ready, the staff have all been excellent. Special thanks goes to the staff working withinin the spa/fitness area, and the 2 male concierge staff who helped us to make the most of our stay. We would definitely return in the future.
