Hotel berhampiran Dewan Usher, Edinburgh

I recently stayed at the Marriott in Edinburgh and had a fantastic experience. The location is one of its biggest strengths—perfectly situated with easy access to the city’s main attractions, making it ideal whether you’re visiting for sightseeing or business. The food was another highlight. The on-site dining offered a great variety, and everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and well-presented. Breakfast, in particular, stood out with plenty of options to suit different tastes. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bed ensured a great night’s sleep, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing after a long day exploring the city. The attention to detail in the room setup really made a difference. Overall, I’d highly recommend this hotel for its excellent location, quality food, and comfortable rooms.

The only thing that was good about this hotel was the location- the most central. Everything else was pretty bad. I have requested a room with a nice view for our special occasion but was given a room with the view of the industrial back wall. Called the manager and he came and apologised and said there were no other rooms left. The room itself was outdated, looked like a hostel rather than a hotel. We have travelled a lot but this was the worst hotel we have stayed in. Our special occasion was ruined. The room was so tiny that it was difficult to squeeze a suitcase between the bed and the wall. The TV had no internet connected. There was no mini fridge. The bathroom entry door was a squeeze. The toilet was so close to the wall that you would be pushed into a wall. No toilet brush either. For the expensive price paid they didn’t even give us a bottle of water or a biscuit. The restaurant is under refurbishment this time and they provide tea/coffee and pastries on level 3 for breakfast free. There is a limited expensive menu to order from reception to your room if you need. The luggage storage facility is limited. When checking out many people were told there was no more room for the luggage storage and those people had to go and look for the pricey luggage storage outside. We met some people also complaining about the hotel. Will never come back to this hotel again.

Perkhidmatan penerimaan tetamu sangat prihatin dan membantu, tetapi restorannya sangat teruk. Peta menunjukkan ulasan terkini tentang hidangan utama, menyebutnya sebagai sangat berminyak atau dagingnya hangus, tetapi tiada siapa yang menyebut tentang sarapan pagi. Oleh itu, kami menempah makan malam di restoran sebelah di Novotel, yang lazat dan tidak terlalu mahal. Walau bagaimanapun, sarapan pagi adalah bencana. Kami tidak dapat memahami bagaimana telur hancur mereka bertukar menjadi sos, kentang gorengnya lembik dan direndam dalam minyak, dan telur goreng kelihatan bersih dan putih, tetapi sangat berminyak. Pastri yang disertakan, seperti croissant, bergerigi tetapi minyaknya bocor apabila dicubit. Cendawan goreng mempunyai bau yang sangat bersahaja. Puding hitam (sosej darah), di atas kentang goreng yang lembik dan berminyak, juga dipenuhi dengan rasa daging kambing yang kuat. Kacang panggang yang sepatutnya bebas tenusu langsung tidak ada. Alternatif tenusu yang didakwa juga langsung tiada. Sarapan pagi berharga £11 ini sangat mahal. Saya cadangkan melintas jalan ke Tesco atau Costa untuk membeli sarapan pagi. Saya harus katakan, saya hanya makan tiga gigitan sebelum saya berasa sangat berminyak dan terpaksa bergantung pada jus oren untuk membantu saya menelan. Sebaik sahaja saya selesai makan, mereka sedang menggoreng sesuatu di dapur, dan bau minyak yang menyengat hampir membuatkan saya muntah di restoran itu. Sudah tentu, saya akhirnya muntah selepas naik ke tingkat atas. Sarapan mereka sangat berminyak sehingga saya tidak dapat menelannya. Inilah sebabnya saya hanya memberikan 3 bintang kepada kemudahannya dan persekitaran serta kebersihannya hanya 4 bintang. Selain itu, sebagai tempat tidur untuk satu malam sebelum penerbangan awal pagi keesokan harinya, ia adalah hotel yang sempurna di Edinburgh.

Great location at the top of the road from Ocean Terminal and the Royal Yacht Britannia. The tram stop to the city centre is here too. Staff were friendly and professional, the room was clean and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was okay, limited choice of hot food (bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, baked beans and tomatoes). It would have been nice to have some jam or marmalade to choose from as the only spreads were butter, margarine and marmite.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel that other travellers should know what to expect. I stayed in a single room on the top floor and was very disappointed, especially considering the price. The room was much smaller than I had expected and felt rather cramped. I paid £136 through Trip.com, even with a discount, and I simply did not feel that the room offered value for money. The room looked tired and dated. The carpet did not look very fresh, the furniture was old-fashioned but not in a charming or historic way, and there were marks on the walls that could easily have been touched up. The bedside lamp also appeared to be damaged, as the lampshade was noticeably crooked and could not be adjusted. I would also like to mention that the room and bathroom were clean, and the bed linen was fresh and clean. I knew when I booked that the room did not include a safe or a fridge, as this was mentioned in the description. However, for a four-star hotel at this price, I still feel that a safe and at least a small fridge should be provided. The television was also very small, and overall the room felt very basic for the price and hotel rating. The bathroom itself was a reasonable size, but it was not very practical. There was no shelf above the sink for toiletries, which was inconvenient. In the shower, the large shampoo and conditioner bottles were placed on the floor of the shower, meaning I had to keep bending down to reach them. I would also like to mention that access to the upper floors involves a very steep spiral staircase. I was aware that there was no lift, but I did not expect the staircase to be so steep and difficult to climb. As I was not comfortable in the room, I asked whether it might be possible to move to a different room. Unfortunately, there were no other rooms available. I had originally planned to stay in Edinburgh for another night, but I decided to move to a different hotel instead. The location of the hotel is good and convenient for Waverley Station, and the staff were polite and friendly. However, my overall experience did not meet my expectations for a four-star hotel, especially at this price. Unfortunately, I would not choose to stay at this hotel again.

Really nice stay near Haymarket, very easy to get to from Edinburgh Waverley and close to lots of lovely food spots!

The hostel is in a great location, very close to the city centre and within easy walking distance. The cleanliness was okay overall, I stayed for four nights, and during most of my stay the room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. The beds were made and the rubbish was removed, but the rest of the room didn’t seem to be cleaned. However, the day before I left, I wrote a short note for the cleaner and left it near the bin explaining my concerns. When I returned, the room was absolutely impeccable. I really appreciated how quickly and seriously they responded to my feedback. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the common area is comfortable. The main downside for me was the noise from the street. There was quite a lot of noise at night, sometimes continuing until late, so this is something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. Overall, despite these small issues, I had a good stay and would recommend the hostel, especially to women travelling solo. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay, and I particularly appreciated how responsive the staff were when I raised a concern.

Excellent Location, but Serious Security Lapses I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a bit of a mixed bag. While there are some undeniable perks to the property, a few significant service and security issues made for a rather unsettling experience. The Highlights Prime Location: This is easily the hotel's strongest suit. It’s situated right next to Haymarket station, and there is a bus stop literally just outside the front door. Getting into the city centre takes no more than 10 minutes, making it a perfect base for exploring. Commendable Service: The reception team provided a decent welcome. I’d like to give a special mention to Shreyas, who was incredibly helpful and professional throughout our interactions. Quality Dining: We ate at the on-site restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. The food was of a high standard, and the waitstaff were attentive and friendly. Room Maintenance & Tech Issues Unfortunately, the shine started to wear off once we settled into the room: Housekeeping Oversights: Despite this being a multi-day stay, the complimentary water bottles were never replaced after the first day. Faulty Tech: The in-room tablet was practically useless. It kept restarting due to a battery fault; ironically, it even cut out while I was trying to use it to contact reception. Privacy Concerns: When we requested extra toilet roll, the staff member who delivered it attempted to walk straight into the room using their key, rather than knocking and waiting for us to answer. It was a complete breach of basic hospitality etiquette. A Major Security Concern The most distressing part of the trip occurred on our second day. Upon returning to our room in the evening, we were shocked to find the main door open. It appears the cleaning staff had failed to secure the door after finishing their rounds. Finding your hotel room left open to the public is, quite frankly, scary. It’s a massive security fail that overshadowed the rest of the stay. While the location is brilliant, the hotel desperately needs to tighten up its staff training and safety protocols. Would I stay again? Only if I were certain that the security and maintenance issues had been addressed.

Perfect location - close to everything, especially very convenient from and to train station or airport.

Very friendly check in, stayed for a next day early flight, 24hr reception great as train to city delayed us 3 hours. Comfortable linen, warm lighting with side table lights, 10 minute walk to tram / haymarket station past magnificent church and victorian suburbs
