We arrived in the morning and the room was not ready yet. We were allowed to leave our luggage in the storage room. The check in was smooth, the room is big, the staff are friendly and helpful. The only minus point was the air conditioning was not functioning well in the room and the temperature could not be controlled from the room. It’s summer so the room was quite stuffy. Overall was good.

Excellent value for money and the decor throughout was much smarter than I was expecting.
The location was superb, so central, within easy walking distance of many places of interest and a great choice of bars and restaurants.
My room was small but perfectly adequate and spotlessly clean. It was located at the back of the building, so no views but I wasn’t planning to spend much time in it so this didn’t detract from my experience. The room itself was very quiet and the bed very comfortable, ideal!!
I will certainly stay here again.

Great location for our trip to celebrate Hogmanay. You can’t get a better location for the festivities for the Princess street party. Traveling with a baby, they already had the cot in the room before we had arrived which was great. The staff were super kind and attentive at concierge and reception. Breakfast had a good selection if you a hot Scottish breakfast. Only downside was the parking which was a 5 min drive away ( we weren’t packing light!) Overall, solid experience

A very nice apartment hotel, very suitable for a family of three or four, no need to book two rooms. There is also a beautiful living room and kitchen facilities are also available. Although it is not cleaned every day, the apartment is equipped like home and is large enough to really make people feel like a home away from home. No daily cleaning is not a problem at all. Just remember to bring slippers and toothbrushes.

The arranged room is on the 5th floor. The elevator can only go to the 4th floor, so you need to carry your suitcase and take the stairs to the 5th floor. This is a bit of a pity. Everything else is very good. It is just opposite the Waverley Railway Station and is close to Lisigo. The monument is very close and the view from the breakfast restaurant is very good.

We are so satisfied with Aparthotel! It is very clean and has everything we need. Especially when you want to stay in the same place for a few days and don't know where to eat, this hotel is equipped with basic cooking ware, rubbish and recycling bins and a dishwasher! Is is also located in between the train station and city centre. When you feel tired you can always go back for a rest before heading out for dinner.

Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh is always my go-to choice whenever I visit the city. The hotel is conveniently located close to the city centre, making it an ideal base for exploring Edinburgh.
The rooms are clean, elegantly designed, and well-maintained, reflecting a high standard of quality. The front desk service is excellent, with staff who are attentive and professional.
The overall atmosphere of the hotel is delightful, making every stay a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

Outstanding
GGuest UserThis hotel is a short walk to and from from the airport. The staff were always polite and helpful. The room was clean and quiet. The lifts were a bit slow, but you could use the stairs. The lounge is huge and the breakfast included vegan options. I only wish there had been a fridge in the room.
GGuest UserMy recent hotel stay was a bit of a mixed experience. While the hotel was clean and well-equipped, there were several issues that detracted from my overall satisfaction.
Before arriving, I had communicated with the hotel via email and was told that they could be reached via WhatsApp. However, upon arrival, I was unable to get a response from the hotel on WhatsApp. Additionally, there was no reception area, and check-in had to be done over the phone, which required multiple long-distance phone calls and extra fees.
The day before check-in, I received a last-minute email from the hotel requesting a deposit, but they did not provide any information on how to make the payment. Not all of the staff were willing to provide assistance, but the last person I spoke to was patient and helpful, which allowed me to check in smoothly.
One major safety concern was that there was a step outside the bathroom, but the floor was not marked, making it easy to trip and fall. Another hazard was the transparent coffee table in the living room, which caused several stumbling incidents that could have led to injuries.
Overall, while the hotel was clean and well-maintained, the issues with communication, extra fees, and safety hazards detracted from my experience.
AacacacWe enjoyed our stay fully at this apartment hotel! They’ve got most of necessary kitchen stuffs so it was very convenient to cook at home. One of the big thing was they have a washing machine which was fantastic as we stayed here for several days so we definitely needed it.
When we arrived a receptionist made a mistake to give us a wrong room without any bathtub although we made a request at the time of reservation. However when we informed the receptionist she willing changed the room for us which was very kind. We therefore enjoyed everyday bath as we needed to take so it was quite helpful.
For cleanness it was over all clean but the floor was a hit dirty…and one of the drawers of one bed room had grains in it so it wa a bit weird…
But other than that we had a wonderful stay and when we come back to Edinburgh we will defuse the same hotel again!
At the time of check-out the receptionist kindly helped us to stay 1h longer which was very helpful, he was very kind and friendly.
Location was great very close to bus stops and tram as well as train station of Haymarket. We didn’t need to go to Edinburgh main station!
Wish there was a small convenient store nearby just to get something simple for drinks/food.
Thank you for the lovely stay!
GGuest UserThe sanitary environment is good, the heating is sufficient, the beds are clean and comfortable, the hot shower facilities are complete, and the sound insulation effect is good. It is very suitable to stay with friends when traveling. It is highly recommended.
GGuest UserLocation of the hotel was great. Close to old town of Edinburgh. Everything in a walking distance. Hotel room was a then worn out. Shower hose was leaking, toilet floor was soft and starting to break. Small cracks in the furniture and the floor. Toiled door had some moisture damage. AC was working/not working and there was a high moisture in the room. Window (that should not be able to be opened) was open. Layout of the room was from the worst side. 1 chair to sit on and wardrobe as far from the door on the opposite side of the room. No hand towels, just shower towels available. Breakfast was basic. Elevator to the floor was fast that was good.
AairtryVery nice hotel! Beautiful and spacey room. Near to the haymarket train station.
The staff is very nice and helpful.
Will recommend this hotel so much!!
AAlex Cheung HMSituated in the Old Town area, it is just 15 minutes walking distance from the Edinburgh Waverley Station and there are lots of good restaurants and bars nearby. Rooms of the hotel are not that spacious (and some of them do not have a window so it is rather dark if you turn off everything) but is just right fit for everyone. The staff is very helpful and friendly too. Will definitely come again.
GGuest UserAwful hotel that is definitely not 4* and the service is not at Hilton level at all….
The hotel goes under the renovation and there were only 2 lifts with queues and they are also used by the staff too
We had a room for 3 people and had all set up for two people only, the room was dirty with hair in the shower and the ceiling.
When I took the shower the pipe was blocked and the water started to leak to the bathroom… yes they sorted the problem quite quickly but still was not great experience
There were no slippers and bathrobes. I asked for x3 slippers and they brought only one pair. I asked again and they brought only one pair again. On the third time they brought two pairs…. When I asked for 3!!! And still no bathrobes. We asked for additional blanket and it was in a random location after the room was cleaned.
The room was cleaned badly on the next day we stayed. My pajamas was thrown elsewhere and I found it on the table, the towels we put on the floor to be replaced were fold dirty on the shelves… the blanket was in a random location and the cleaner did not pay any attention at all left the room dirty. Very disrespectful
I felt that I had to beg for the things we are supposed to get in this kind of hotels. Shocking!!!
Yes they compensated with a complimentary breakfast which was good but still the service was bad. They sent the cleaner and by the time she came we were already sleeping. And she did not speak any English … very disappointed
Room 210, 26.10-28.10 2024
GGuest UserLovely groups and views.
Comfortable bed and reasonable sized room, but the shower curtain was smelly, and we had to ask for it to be changed. It took several phone calls and nearly an hour before someone came and changed it.
Breakfast was quite good, but no eggs benedict offered, which was disappointing.
Unfortunately, the pool was packed with children and families who didn't appear to be stating at the hotel, and the timings for adults only swimming were before breakfast and after dinner. I did not consider this a proper 5-star hotel facility since it seemed less private and more public baths. Having seen how busy the golf was, I felt maybe this isn't a private membership golf and spa hotel anymore.
All in all, I did have a comfortable stay but found the hotel not private enough to make it a special experience, which is what I expected for the price and given its previous reputation in the community and in reviews.
GGuest UserThe room was much better than expected, clean and comfortable. Self-service check-in and check-out were quick and convenient. If you don't know how to use it, you can call and ask for patient guidance. If you don't know how to use the access control, you can ask the staff. The location is far from the city center and various attractions, about 30 minutes walk, but you can take the bus.
In summary, it is still a good choice. After all, hotels in Edinburgh are crazy expensive. I will stay in this hotel again.
