If you’re considering staying here, please take this review as a sign NOT to. I wish I had listened to all of the 1-star reviews I saw on here. It would have saved us a lot of headaches and our time in Edinburgh wouldn't have been ruined. There was zero soundproofing in our room. It took four separate complaints before the hotel took any action. Each time prior, we were brushed off and our concerns were not taken seriously. When we finally spoke to the manager, he offered 10% off our stay (nowhere near adequate for a ruined vacation). When we checked out, the hotel only refunded 10% off 2 out of 4 nights, then refused to honour the manager’s written offer of 10% off the full stay. They have since refused to respond to our emails and escalate the issue to Marriott’s escalation team.

I couldn’t even check in and stay because I only booked this hotel because I was lead to believe it was only 6.02 miles from the pet hospital in i Edinburgh which was completely misleading. It was a half an hour drive away, so too far away and we had to book another closer hotel as had to be on hand for our sick dog in the vet centr. Disappointed and a complete waste of our money

The room was spacious and I loved the cooking facilities (modern and well equipped). Staff were very helpful and friendly. Sadly, I did notice that some of the other guests weren’t polite to them. I recommend bringing your manners to Edinburgh and you will receive a great Scottish welcome. I was visiting Edinburgh University and this location is exactly what I wanted - right in the heart of the University. It was close to the tourist sites with the benefits of not being surrounded by tourists. Bed and pillows were very comfy, too. Shower was hot. Breakfast was more than I expected but I don’t eat much for breakfast. Shops, restaurants and transport is all close by. I would stay here again.
A lovely park is nearby.
View from my room. It’s opposite an office building but no one is there from dusk.

The room was fairly clean and staff were very polite and accommodating. The only reason I will not give 5 stars is that the temperature was not controllable in the room, and the bathroom had a very odd window in it that let a draft in. As well as that, the bathroom sink was located in the main living area which was a bit inconvenient with 2 guests in the space and not very private/practical.
