Mount Royal, Edinburgh

First of the view from this hotel is beautiful, my room was just what I needed as I was travelling alone. Check in was smooth, my room ready hours before my check in time which was a great relief as I'd travelled by train from Leicestershire, so getting rid of bags, cases and being able to rest was great, I did note they can look after bags before check in though. My room was just nice for me, clean, beautiful view, clean bathroom, with a great shower! Room had a large TV, hairdryer, ironing equipment, dry cleaning arrangements, tea/ coffee, kettle etc. Room was cleaned daily and drinks re stocked. The bed was the comfiest I've ever slept in whilst away and slept really good. The hotel is huge with 7 floors, I was on 7th but lifts are available if mobility is an issue. The restaurant is spacious with an amazing view of the castle, it was not overcrowded and the atmosphere was relaxed. All staff are polite and will help if needed. I loved Edinburgh and when I come back I'm hoping Mount Royal have a room for me. Thankyou for a quiet, relaxing stay.

I extremely enjoyed my stay in Edinburgh because of the location the hotel is at. The staff was super helpful accommodating making sure our stay was as comfortable and as safe as we want it, everything from the hotel is walking distance from the locations that I need to go to the walk for no more than 15 minutes if not less Transportation at the hotel was amazing

This was the nicest hotel we stayed in during our 2 week trip to Scotland. It was also the most expensive one. Although very expensive, it is located on Princes Street, and so was very convenient to catch the Tram to the airport.

Really nice updated rooms with a wonderful view of the castle, Scott monument and the university. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to store our luggage and gave us ideas of things to do in the area until we were able to check in. Had a drink in the lounge area which was cozy and beautiful views as well.
