Best hotel in Edinburgh

Perfect location, amazing service, tasty breakfast.

Fabulous! Would stay again.

Lovely stay at the Mount Royal! As is typical of European hotels - the room was small and the bathroom got wet when you showered - but we loved the location and found it quiet despite being right downtown.

Confortable hotel

The hotel was fine and confortable but you can see the room is a bit dated therefore I found the hotel a bit expensive for what it is. The breakfast was totally correct but not amazing. I would stay again for the location only which is ideal!
Romane, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel.

Myself, my daughter and granddaughter had a two night stay at the Mount Royal and could not fault it. The room was large and airy and the beds were comfortable. I am vegetarian and the choices for breakfast were more than adequate and in pleasant surroundings. Would definitely come back.

Hotel gives you everything you need

Really pleased with the hotel. Great communication pre arrival. Staff on reception were very helpful, we had 3 rooms and they put us all next to each other. We had the standard queen room the bed were very comfortable and clean, good shower too. Nice bathroom products. The breakfast was excellent great hot variety, haggis and additional bits were really tasty. Hotel location brilliant, very central for all the Edinburgh sites, shops, buses. Hotel was value for money, overall it added to our great weekend.

Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Made our trip special.

The hotel was booked as a surprise trip for my 18 year old twins. The hotel upgraded their room and gave them a fantastic view of the castle - they are History students, so they were over the moon! They also received a birthday card and glass of wine from the hotel. The room was lovely, the staff were friendly, we really couldn't ask for anything more. I'm sure we will come back to Edinburgh soon and we wont hesitate to stay here again.
