Sourabh S, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The Hotel is under going refurbishments until June.This meant the reception,bar/lounge,breakfast areas were all unavailable. This was not communicated at the time of our booking and I would not have booked if I knew this. THe hotel did offer a garb and go breakfast which meant guests had to bring to their rooms to eat. This meant lots of people balancing trays in the lift.THe room where the breakfast was being served was small and when it was busy it was hard to move in their. It would have been better if the hotel offered cheaper rates and no breakfast.As it was we were paying €670 euro for two nights in a family room.

8/10 Very good

Good location, nice room and pleasant service

Very pleasant hotel with kind and friendly service staff as well as some nice facilities. It is located basically inside the Edinburgh University campus, which we really liked and close to the old town of Edinburgh. Only downside was the breakfast buffet situation where there was not enough seats for everyone - regardless of which time slot you went down for breakfast. It is supposed to be a good and relaxing start to your day, but it ended up being quite a nuisance instead. Otherwise all good.

Excellent Edinburgh Hotel

Really enjoyed our stay at the Residence Inn. The suites(we had 2) were very spacious and comfortable. I was a bit surprised that the beds couldn’t be separated into twins, as there were clearly 2 single mattresses, topped by a queen mattress. Not every guest at the hotel is a couple, as in our case, a brother and sister( one slept on the sofa bed, which wasn’t as comfortable as the bed. The breakfast was very good, lots of hot and cold choices, great coffee. The breakfast area in the hotel is quite small and breakfast time tended to be chaotic, an issue which I’m sure other guests have commented on.The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location for us was great as it was close to the university, and easy walking distance to the many attractions of beautiful Edinburgh. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family👍👍😀

Very nice. If you are a Marriott member, they let you into your room early. That helped me because I was feeling sick when I arrived.
Catherine, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Far from the Marriott standard

Far from the Marriott standard. The hotel is very outdated, the hallways and staircases were not clean. The scramble for a table and food in the morning due to lack of tables and layout of the food was nothing short of uncivilised. The only real upside of this hotel is the staff who were all very friendly and helpful.

Viviany, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid

Although location was a plus point, they have a cleaning self service (tumble dryer and washing machine) which is helpful, the hotel staff manners are non-existent, and in some instances, became very aggressive and inappropriate. I would avoid if you have options.
