The light of the bathroom was not seated from the bedroom...

Room was very good, large and comfortable. Breakfast was good.

No lobby bar or restourant, smell from bathroom, the same food for breakfast. Small breakfast room. It’s feels like 3 stars hotel.

Very comfortable beds, good location, spacious room, kettle, fridge, iron in the room. Blackout curtains for good sleep. Good bathroom cosmetics. Good quality coffee and delicious warm bred during breakfast.

Booking said there were room available, I walked in to book a room rather than through the site because it was 12:30am. The front deal staff had me wait around for 40 mins to eventually tell me the two rooms on the site were “out of service”. I booked a toom for the following night and sent a message asking that if my room become available before 4pm, please let me know.. I was emailed back with “if you booked in advance we would be able to accommodate you.” This was my 4th stay- and I my go to hotel after a ling trip to the highlands.

I love the facilities, location, and the comfort of the large rooms.

We visited during August which is the peak period so the increased price we paid was probably driven by this. But it was still a competitive for our dates based on multiple searches I did on Booking and other platforms.

Spacious family room with 2 comfortable double beds a desk, a couch, a coffee table and still lots of space to move around despite the 5 pieces of luggage we had with us. Lots of plugs for your charge hungry devices. It also had a huge air conditioning unit which cooled the room in seconds after you turned it on. Very convenient location, about 10 mins uphill walk from Edinburgh castle and the Royal Mile but still close enough to everything. This was good as we visited Edinburgh during August when the center was absolutely flooded with people so our location was a little quieter. The staff were very polite and helpful. Overall a great stay.

The pull-out sofa bed that I slept in was quite old and had a big dent in the middle. So by the end of our stay, my back was hurting quite a bit. However, my friends slept in the double bed and said it was extremely comfortable.

The location was incredible. Just far away enough from the centre to not be bothered by how crowded it was there, but close enough that we could easily reach everywhere by foot. The room was also light and comfortable.

Because they were renovating, the breakfast was very cramped and had to be taken by tray to our room. Also, there was a mould issue in the bathroom, which I hope they will address, as it is not consistent with how the rest of the hotel is maintained.

The room was very large & spacious for me, my wife and our daughter. We were there because our daughter was running the Edinburgh Marathon, and the location could not have been better to get to her starting point!

Breakfast was good but it was the same menu and same food on all the three days. There has to be some change in the food served. We understand the scrambled eggs are from pasteurized liquid eggs but one cannot have scrambled eggs every day. Possibly a weekly menu which gets rotated every day would have added much more variety to the breakfast buffet.

The Staff. Right from the Check In. I was checked in by Rohan and Vishal who were very helpful. The other staff throughout our stay were very courteous and helpful at all times.

There was a blocked drain in the bathroom. It was eventually fixed after complaining twice to the reception staff. The airflow/ ventilation was poor in the room. The room was very hot without airconditioning running.

Location was central and convenient for visiting the cities main attractions

The building modifications were an issue in that there was no breakfast place to sit down and the offerings somewhat basic. Still the hotel performed the best it could under such circumstances. Luckily many of the rooms had a small kitchen attached so that one could retreat to ones room to have consume the breakfast.

The room was nice and large and had a small kitchen included. Thereby one could always make a tea of coffee. The room was in good condition and with a nice shower. The hotel is in walking distance of the main tourist attractions and there is a good public transport service to support locals and visitors. The staff were very pleasant and cooperative despite difficult conditions (the hotel was being modified during out stay).

There is only one lift, and it can be quite a long wait

In case breakfast is proper

We are pure vegetarian and there was hardly anything to eat for us except bread and muesli. You must add like vegetable cutlets and fried potatoes.

The network of Marriott Hotels is renown of high standards and quality. Yet, the management of the hotel (please do not confuse with the staff) decided to make savings on catering at the expense of the guests. Namely, there was a widespread renovation of the ground floor, that including painting, plastering, etc. Apart from the smell of paint, lound noises of drills, etc. there was only very limited number of tables and guests were requested to to take food upstairs (i.e. to their rooms). There was also a contant shortage of cutlery (forks, spoons, etc.) and the number of staff members dedicated to breakfast services was very limited. The choice of food was very limited and often replacements (e.g scrambled eggs, cheese) did not arrive on time and in the continuous fashion. To be honest, avarage breakfast in a two-star hotel in Poland would beat available food quality during my stay by several lengths. In earlier this spring I spent couple of days in the Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh, where the food was fabulous, so I was surprise that Marriott was so below this standard. In summary, I appreciate that hotel management may be forced to do make necessary renovations at SOME POINT, yet in such circumstances they should at least: 1. Inform the guests about these inconveniences prior to arrival by phone or mail (there is always a poosiblity to change the hotel); 2. Offer discount for substandard breakfast services and/or book proper catering, e.g. in some building or cafe close to the hotel, where adequate standards can be provide.

Hotel is perfectly located close to the Edinburgh University in the city centre. Rooms are spacious and include kitchen annex that is very well equipped. Bed was very compfortable. Staff members were friendly and helpful.
