Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

Conveniently located hotel within 2 minutes from the train station - good service and comfortable bed

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 The room itself was outdated, looked like a hostel rather than a hotel.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.

Fantastic location! Minutes walk from Waverley station, and just next to M&S food hall. Got a free upgrade and got a corner room where I could see the castle! Very clean room with comfortable bed. Wish there was a bar fridge in the room. The room was freezing cold though cos I couldn’t seem to get the radiator to work. Also minutes walk to the tram stop to get to the airport.

We stayed at Mount Royal Hotel in Edinburgh for 4 nights. The rooms are small but clean, and our room had a stunning view of the Scott Monument—definitely a highlight! The bathroom was quite compact as well, and the beds weren’t very soft, but for the price, the location is unbeatable. Just a 5-minute walk to charming bakeries like The Milkman, and so convenient for exploring the city. The staff were incredibly sweet and polite, making our stay even more enjoyable. Don’t miss the view from the bar near the reception—it’s gorgeous!

Good scenic view from our balcony. And a special shout out to Archie for being helpful to us at the Reception Counter.

The location is amazing coming from the Waverly train station. The staff is also really pleasant and the breakfast is good. The shower just stinks like the sewer smell. The card swiping thing sucks in the hotel too. Nice of them to upgrade my room.
