Paid £850.00 for one night, my son and I , one room 2 double beds…u would’ve thought that would be easy….NOT went to check in at 1230 knowing we wouldn’t get into our room till 1500 , but wanted to leave bags…no issue. Went back at 1455 to be told room needs more checks, it’s been cleaned just needs check…didn’t really understand but hey ho..off we went to rooftop bar where we stayed until a phone call at 1520 room ready ..great. This is where it all goes horribly wrong…1st impression was a stony faced reception person (3rd one we have dealt with fair to say other. 2 were lovely) she began but offer me a replacement key to which we replied why we haven’t booked into room yet, then she tells me we have been upgraded to a room with ONE double and a RUNAWAY bed…I stated NO THANKS I WANT THE ROOM I HAVE PAID FOR, at no point was I been considered for this at no point in the check in were we offered water or fruit juice I might also add. So at least 15-25 mins go by with her typing and not being empathetic at all…I asked what the hold up was and she stated that because she had checked us into a room we didn’t want we had to stand there until she amended her incompetence. We asked to speak to a manager and abruptly she stated she had asked her to come out…15mins another un -empathetic woman appeared shock my hand (thinking that would defuse the situation) so I told her all…but nothing….so nearly £900 quid down the drain for an awful experience NEVER TO BE REPEATED…

Having stayed in many of the Bonvoy selection of hotels around the World we were looking forward to our stay at W Edinburgh. Sadly the experience was terrible !! The rooms were small ,dark and dingy with no views. The bathroom was a joke ! The smallest bathroom we have ever had in a hotel. Tiny sink area very close to toilet with a basic walk in shower. No room for a bath ! Internet didn’t work and even 4-5G reception was poor. We decided to have pre-Dinner Cocktails in the bar on the 11th Floor and were refused entry as we didn’t have a reservation. Crazy !! The final issue was the noise from the elevators. Which disturbed our sleep. All in all for £450 a night …TERRIBLE !

Very nice hotel. Fantastic location, nice rooms. We selected a room with two double beds, and for some reason or another there was an issue with the room. They upgraded us to a deluxe suite with one king bed, and offered a rollaway bed for the second. I was worried initially that my partner wouldn’t find the rollaway suitable(I snore so he needs to be able to get away from me if it’s too bad) but it ended up being just fine. And the room itself was very nice and spacious with a fabulous balcony. We also received complimentary drinks at their rooftop lounge, which was very nice of them as well. Overall great experience.
