A really lovely stay
A really lovely stay in a great hotel. The staff were very attentive and courteous.
The a la carte breakfast (salmon and eggs) was excellent. The eggs were definitely free range.
We would most definitely stay here again.

Pretty great location
The hotel is located in a great place, not far from the start of the Royal Mile (although there might be others that might be more centrally located to the train of bus stations), if you need, but only 5-10 minutes by taxi.

A lovely stay at Edinburgh Marriott Hotel.
Other than the reception manager forgetting to phone me to let me know our room was ready, the staff have all been excellent. Special thanks goes to the staff working withinin the spa/fitness area, and the 2 male concierge staff who helped us to make the most of our stay.
We would definitely return in the future.

Appalling breakfast
Our room and stay was very good although we found breakfast appalling. The cooked breakfast was disgusting and of short supply and had to wait 15 minutes for someone to fill up the coffee jug. In hindsight i wish we had just gone out for breakfast instead.

It was in a perfect location - close enough to walk everywhere but far enough from the hubbub of the Royal Mile to be able to enjoy a quiet nights sleep. The service was unparalleled and everything was extremely clean. A great stay!
