We booked this hotel after reading all the reviews and happy to confirm is it really good and great value for money. Yes the breakfast space is small but we managed a table for both mornings. Breakfast was at good quality, staff friendly, only to happy to help. The rooms spacious clean and tidy. Would book again if here on our travels!

Hate to Admit this but Marriot have got this right to a T. It is in a great part of Town and you can walk most places. I have now stayed on 3 Occasions every time in a different room lay out.

You find Peters Yard close by and a small Sainbury's, underground parking.
Really warm, helpful team members. Enjoy!

Comfortable, clean and well located. This new addition to the Edinburgh hotel scene is adjacent to Edinburgh University and is walking distance to great restaurants and several theatres. Service is very friendly, breakfast is good and the prices are fair. I've stayed twice in the last month and there are still a few niggles associated with new buildings. One room I was given had a faulty lock (a new room was provided) and another had intermittent hot water in the shower. The single lift is busy at breakfast time, but overall this is a great choice in a very good location.

This is a real nice new hotel in a great location in Edinburgh. We arrived into Edinburgh from our overnight flight from the U.S. We took a taxi from the Waverley train station because we did not know the exact location of the hotel, but believe me the next time we will just walk because it is only a 15 minute walk from the train station. When we arrived at around 9am the hotel lobby was packed with people having a celebration. Well we learned when came through the front door that it was the official grand opening!! It was no bother for the staff as they were so nice and took their time and checked us in to a nice room at 9am with no waiting for the official check in time of around 2pm or 3pm as a lot of hotels do. The rooms were very nice and good size compared to European standards. The location was fantastic for walking and exploring this amazing city. It was 10 minute walk to the Royal Mile and Castle, and a 15 minute walk to Princess Street and the Waverley train station. There is a Starbucks coffee shop right around the corner as well as a Sainsburys market for any groceries or beer and wine that you might want to pick up. They have a very nice breakfast that is always being attended to by the staff making sure the food is always hot and the coffee never runs dry. There is a nice pub just at the end of the street called Doctors that has some very nice ales. But best of all is the staff at this hotel. Always a smile and a hello now matter how many times you walk in that front door. That is one thing that I will always remember. They always had ideas for what you could do to explore their great city and I will be thankful for that, as I went to places that probably not too many tourists do because of their recommendations. I cant wait till I can return to Edinburgh and stay at this Residence Inn.
