Edinburgh Marriott One Night Review - December
The stay was excellent. Only a night to catch up with a friend and a bit of Christmas shopping before heading home. The staff, bar, breakfast area were all very good. The room was lovely and a good size and very comfortable bed. The ensuite was spotlessly clean and a very good shower. We will come back!

6/10 Good

We found the hotel to be okay, not great or something to be delighted about. The room was spacious, linen was good and bathroom was pretty good. But there was hardly any storage space in the room. There was just an open space with 10 hangers and just one drawer. We booked the hotel thinking there would be views towards Arthur’s seat but our window looked into the building next door. We are vegetarians and the breakfast hardly had anything for us except some sweet pastries and some cheese. But more concerningly the female servers in the dining room (except 1) were generally unsmiling and seemed to be going through the motions as some chore. The hotel location was fine - it was 15 mins walk from High Street/Royal Mile and 5-10 min Uber ride from train station which was convenient. But overall the neighbourhood of the hotel is overly quiet (and dead). The checkout time is 12 noon and we were 10 mins late and the front desk lady was a bit sarcastic and made a comment. We may not choose to stay at this hotel again in our next trip.

My stay was fine - the only issue was the waiter who was serving the evening diners didn't seem to have any concept of hospitality or service. I appreciate he was a young lad who was trying to earn some pocket money, but you ought not to put him out front, he'd be better off in the kitchen.

Night away
The hotel was very clean and easy to find. The gentleman at the front who received us was very polite, well mannered and helpful. The room was very spacious, bed was super comfy and all very clean. They have an agreement with a nearby carpark for a discount for hotel stayers which was brilliant (2 minute walk away). The only two comments would be the bar shutting quite early for guests (because as scots we are raging alchies and would have enjoyed a few drinks after our evening out and to see the xmas market), but also the panel for the ac faced the bed and with the lights off was extremely bright with no way of turning the screen off (eso make sure to bring some nail glue or bluetac to stick some toilet paper over 👌

Nice but 1 small problem
T.Vs did not work in any of the rooms the weekend we went. Not a drama and didnt effect our stay but all we got was a "sorry" on check out and not even a discount on the overall bill or even a drink at the bar when reporting it.

Previously stayed at this hotel when it was under different ownership. Has been refurbished and was clean , modern and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming- hot food was luke warm and not a great choice and it was self service coffee from a flask , a self servi e coffee machine woukd be nicer

Room and breakfast buffet
Our room was ok. We were in the first floor. It should have a ramp for the suitcases. I found the breakfast buffet ok. We were there for one week and a change would have been good.

8/10 Very Good

We had a deluxe king room, the room itself was great however the room was dusty and didn’t seem to be cleaned as part of the daily turndown. I think this is highlighted more through there being black fixtures in the room, eg the lights and switches by the bed. The location of the hotel was really good to see all sides of Edinburgh.
