Hotels near Tesco Superstore, Edinburgh

Hotel was located a little off from central but there are buses to get around anywhere. Room was great and comfortable. Would be better if there was bottled water and toothbrush provided.

I booked a a night within the hotel on Halloween as we had booked a walking ghost tour within the city. It was a bit of a walk down to the Royal mile taking about 25 mins but as it was dry it was ok. The hotel was fantastic, the reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The entrance lobby was warm and clean, very inviting. All of the corridors were very well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a queen sized bed, seating area and a good sized bathroom. The room again was nicely decorated and well equipped. Due to the restrictions the hotel restaurant was closed but we were allowed to order food into the hotel and the receptionist even pointed us in the direction of local shops. I would recommend the hotel and will most probably stay again.

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.

Before you arrive, make sure you sort your parking at QPark at Omni nearby if you are driving. You have to book it in advance online and use the discount code. The procedure changed in April (apparently) between the time of us booking and the date of arrival, nobody told us, and QPark point blank refused to honour the discount code when we drove out, whilst the hotel receptionist just shrugged his shoulders when we told him at check out. That cost me 14 pounds extra, which was just annoying - and not really how you treat a Platinum member and at 24 pounds a day full price per day or part of day, the parking is not cheap. We had a bigger room with a sofa bed (318), which was fine and the bathroom was big. But again when the shower gel dispenser ran out we asked for it to be replaced in the morning at the check in desk, but returned that evening and it was still empty. The towels were changed every day, the double bed was small, but the room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was often crowded, a basic buffet, but the bar staff were friendly the lobby is a haven of peace in which to sip a cider. There is no fitness room or gym, and the property is expensive in peak season for an Holiday Inn Express. At the end of the stay, I did not feel I had received value for money especially when hit by QPark's larceny. But the internet worked fine and the location is very convenient...

Stayed her for three nights October 2022 with the Scotland Rugby League team prior to the Rugby League World Cup. What a great find this hotel was. Spotlessly clean and so very comfortable. Bedrooms roomy and the beds as comfortable as you can get. The food was excellent, and they catered for our every need. The breakfasts were amazing and the service was beyond reproach . Special shout out to our servers Chez, Shannon and the boss Karen. Could not have been better. A massive thank you and a great start to our World Rugby League Cup campaign . Defo use this hotel again.

Good gym. Modern equipment and good new shower facilities Mens changing room is never kept clean, the lockers are consistently broken, there is never any soap in the dispensers. Swimming pool is small but clean. The temperature can vary depending on the day. The steam room has not worked in a long time so as a paying member this incredibly disappointing. The sauna is ok but temperature is never consistent. Staff can be rude at times. Recently witnessed a member of staff shouting and yelling at a women in the gym for turning the music down (she asked all the in the gym if this was ok) ever since Jamie left (previous manager) standards have dramatically reduced. So - fix the steam room. We after all pay a membership for this to work. Have staff treat paying customers with respect. Keep the place clean. Basic hospitality requirements especially just after a pandemic hygiene should be top priority.

Visiting Edinburgh Castle of Light, I decided to stay overnight. Room (15) had everything needed; a comfortable bed, hot shower, a hospitality tray and clean towels. I will definitely stay here again.

The room is good, with a view at the door, which is the characteristic of the castle hotel. The service is good, the room is clean, and the space is large. The interior decoration of the room is very classic and very atmospheric.

I am very fortunate to choose to stay here in the end, I had previously wanted to change to a hotel in the city center. The facilities of this old castle hotel are very in place. In 2008, an elevator was added so that the pain of carrying boxes to climb the building was avoided. Breakfast is very generous, in fact it is enough to eat only the buffet on its dining table. Ordered its traditional English breakfast on the first day and couldn't eat a lot of it. The room was large, the bathroom and bedroom were heated and it was very hot. Before going to bed, they had to be closed. The hotel staff are very welcoming and the service is in place. Finally, I have to say that their desserts are delicious, so try them!

My friend and I stayed one night, on our way further up north from England, and were quite pleased with the accommodation standards. The rooms had exactly what we needed with a nice shower and bed. The location was satisfactory given we were only staying one night, but there did not seem to be much to do in that area throughout the day if we were to stay longer. Breakfast was great and the service was incredible. Overall, fantastic stay.
