Hotel berhampiran Gorgie Childrens Park, Edinburgh

Check in to check out was so smooth. Room was great, clean and very comfortable, staff were very accomodating and friendly. Location was great!! Highly recommended! Will be my ”go to” whilst in Edinburgh!

Our assessment of our 3 night stay at the Waldorf was mixed. The hotel was very nice and as a Diamond member we were upgraded to a castle view room. The complimentary breakfast was very good and the front desk staff were generally helpful. We did have a problem one night with the light fixture leaking water from the ceiling. This may have been due to a rainstorm one night and staff brought a bucket to catch the leaking water. The biggest problem, however, occurred after checkout. At the time of checkout I was told that the hotel printer wasn’t working so they would email me my receipt. Since all 3 nights were paid for with HH points I asked if there was a zero balance and was told yes. Later that day I received the final bill and was charged over $1,000 on my credit card for all three nights. I immediately called the hotel and was told by in house reservations staff that my reservation had been cancelled when I didn’t show up. I reminded them that we had been staying with them the last 3 nights and had no problem at checkin on the scheduled day. In fact I confirmed our arrival time several hours before checkin. So they didn’t know what the problem was but would talk to the reservations manager when they were free. In the meantime I called the Hilton diamond desk and again was told that someone had cancelled my stay with points and it had been rebooked by someone as a cash stay and they were not sure what the problem was. My points had even been put back onto my account by someone. By now I am a bit irritated. I finally receive a call back from the hotel reservation manager who tells me that the Waldorf had a computer glitch on our arrival date and that all hotel reservations had been cancelled and had to be manually reentered by hotel staff. However, Hilton hotels have no way to make reservations using points so they made them as a cash payment. Thereby the $1,000 bill. Now glitches are bound to occur sometimes. However, all of this angst could have been avoided by telling me at checkin about the problem and I could have immediately rebooked the room using points while standing at the front desk. The hotel did ultimately reverse the charges and apologize. However. this shouldn’t happen at a property like the Waldorf.

The location is good and the room is reasonably sized but the design of the room is not to my liking. The toilet is completely separated from the rest of the washroom which has happened before but the toilet room does not have a hand basin to wash your hands and the two areas are inconveniently located so it could be a problem stumbling at night. The room was clean when we checked in but our room was cleaned the next day except for the washroom for some reason. Reported to front desk but no explanation really. Saw a fan in the closet so the hotel may not have A/C whinch happens in hotels in Europe sometimes. Check that if you are coming in the summer.

Love the brand of shampoo and shower gel, the hotel is overall good with view of the castle, just that we were accidentally charged twice, but the staff are nice

Location is good. Walking distance to high street, Royal Miles and many attractions. Super convenient. I can also prepare breakfast in the kitchen which save some money. The private room I booked is very small but clean and no complaints with the cost. The staffs are helpful and I will definitely consider to stay in the future visit to Edinburgh.

Lovely hotel only 5 minutes walk from Waverley station and in an ideal position for all the main attractions. Excellent breakfast choice. Easy check in and check out with friendly, helpful staff.

Good location if based in Leith, buses from downtown and the airport express 200 stop directly outside and close to the Leith canal walkway which is nice. Currently lots of construction of the tram outside which makes the location look uglier and harder to navigate than normal. Rooms are good clean and acceptable size. Breakfast is ok. Some of the staff are quite surly, very grumpy when I checked in and refused to help me extend my booking, forcing me to have to book another place.

An amazing location and friendly staffs. They are prompt to assist and request. It is top notch. I will definitely come back.

It’s a very nice hotel as an IHG group hotel you can be assured about quality . Staff is real nice and friendly . When I arrived I was given a twin room while I booked a double . Not their fault but the partner of trip . Com. No other double available so I asked them to put two single bed together so I won’t fall off at night . Lol. They were dead nice and did it for me. Nice environment not far from the nearby train station. Will defo go back there to stay
