Having booked a room for 4 nights on Expedia, the hotel subsequently told me of the nature & scale of the ongoing renovations. Construction noise during the day. No laundry. No gym. No *lobby*. I'd be more irritable about it if not for a great breakfast buffet (admittedly, in a small, cramped space - but I'm an early riser & fared fine).

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.

Overall a good option if you are visiting Edinburgh as a tourist. The area is nice and as it is right by the university, and close to many old city attractions. Do not pay a higher rate for the included breakfast - it’s pretty basic, and the utensils had a bad odor, probably from their dish washer or the mixing of food with utensils during their washing. One of our family members skipped the breakfast for the 3 days we stayed there due to this. Also, found the staff inflexible when I requested a late checkout by 1 hour, which was odd. But for an expensive tourist destination like Edinburgh, this bite is still a good option for Ben with all these challenges.

As the bathroom door is set back the light disturbs the person in the bed nearest the bathroom (brightness woke me up). Television was difficult to watch from both bed & settee. Was very disappointed with room for the cost. Although breakfast was good with plenty of choice.

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👍👍😀

Nice room and comfy bed. Free breakfast buffet was good quality with plenty of choices, but like a cattle drive. Rude people pushing in front of you and little kids running around unattended touching the food, cutlery, etc. We felt it was a bit unsanitary. It’s amazing how parents have no control over their spawn.
