First the good: The location can not be beat (once your cab driver finds the hotel). Easy walking distance to the royal mile, the grass market, and many terrific pubs. All great! The rooms are very large and clean. Nice to have a microwave and fridge. The bad: One of the rooms we had was unbearably hot. The heat was... More

We stayed here on reward points. There is a real lack of accommodation in this part of town and its great to see Marriott have finally got a city centre hotel in the city centre. Rooms are spacious, very clean and modern with lots of light. The hotel is next to the University and Museum of Scotland, and very close... More

Was there for 6 nights in May 2012. I had the living room/kitchenette/1 bed in bedroom set-up. I loved the floor to ceiling windows...I woke up before my alarm every morning because of the natural light (that's a good thing in my book) Great location next to the University, with a very easy walk to the Royal Mile and all...

First stay in this hotel and very impressed. Excellent rooms/ apartments, fantastic bed as expected at a Marriott hotel and the staff were very nice. I didn't get to venture out as I was there on business but it is in the middle of a development area so not looking too pretty at the minute. Give it 12 months and... More

Lets start with the positives: The rooms are quite big. I was expecting them to be smaller. They are very well furnished. The location is quite good. Its near the Edinburgh University, so a lot of bars and places for young people. And its really about 15 minutes walk from Waverly station. That’s the positives. Now the negatives: The place... More

Brilliant city centre location. Friendliest front desk staff ever. Great rooms, so quiet. Minor niggles, breakfast area a bit small but you can take breakfast back to your room for breakfast in bed.really great value for even a short stay. They offer discounts too for people of a certain age, can not recommend highly enough. More

This hotel is in a section of town where the old hospital used to be so older maps will not find it. But once found, the location in the city was stellar. Easy walking distance to the mile and old town attractions, this hotel offers the convenience of a small kitchen. But my main reason to give them a 5... More

This new property is ideally placed for anyone visiting the University, it is actually a great location for all of the tourists sites in town as walking distance to castle, royal mile, princes street etc. It is new so all still sparkly and clean, good for long stays as it is apartment style accommodation so kitchens in all rooms.
