Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing here! Extremely helpful & left a little something in our room for my friends birthday, which was a lovely touch. Pool & sauna were very nice, great atmosphere in the bar & the breakfast was a vast choice of foods. A top stay!"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived a bit early. The receptionist was very pleasant and let us know a room was being cleaned and would be ready shortly. We waited in the bar area, which was comfortable and there were nice views. She gave us complimentary glasses of champagne while we waited. When the room was ready, we were told the stocked fridge was complimentary. There was a nice variety of beverages. Spacious room. We were wet from traveling in the rain. I was able to hang some things to help them to dry out faster. Robes and slippers were provided, The bed was very comfortable. We didn’t get to take advantage of all that was offered because we had to leave in early morning to catch bus to airport. The bus stop isn’t too far away, but you have to walk up hill to get to the street it is on. It was convenient; I’m just not in great shape. I’m glad to say it wasn’t raining that morning, so we were able to stay dry for our travels. The hotel will also hold your luggage for you if it’s not time to check in, so you don’t have to wander around with all the baggage."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"If this hotel were half the price, I would say 5 star. However, it wasn’t. Pros: the man checking us out was phenomenal. The view is unmatched, location is great if you are looking to shop. Cons: linens were very low end. Towels and bathrobe were extremely cheap. No wash cloths(I know this is norm, but not at nice hotels.) don’t get me started on the small flat pillows. Tea kettle was dirty. We stayed in Grassmarket with a balcony and castle view for much less and was infinitely better quality and attention to details. There is a huge opportunity to make this a phenomenal hotel if some tweaks are done."
