The hotel has a great location to restaurants and shopping, but the best part is the castle view! It is fantastic and if you are lucky you will get a castle view from your room. I stayed in 772 which is a single room with a shared balcony overlooking Princess St and the castle. Rooms were updated and nice but... More

My husband and I stayed here on May 7th for one night. And then again on the 11th - 13th, but I'll write a separate review for that. We stayed in a standard double room, with Castle view room 469. The room was adequate for what we needed. Bed was comfy and the breakfast was good. All the staff we... More

It´s a good location for shopping, sightseeing and nightlife. The rooms were small, it´s ok, but it´s a challenge were to put the luggage. A lot of noise from the street at night. If you like to stay at a charming and cosy hotel, don´t choose this. This hotel is best if you want to stay close to everything, and... More

Stayed in for 4 nights on a pure pleasure trip. Room spacious and clean, (5. floor) and staff extremely nice and helpful. Perfect location, with walking distance to all main attractions, and a stunning view of the park and Old town. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel, as we found everything to be as expected, or better!

I was here for 2 nights on business. I've only given 3 stars because I was visiting on business and so was in the smallest room. I usually go for something more upgraded so although the room I had was nice and quiet it didn't have air conditioning, or a fan in the bathroom so it was very hot all... More

I stayed here with my friend for 3 nights for the May Bank Holiday, its in a perfect location for the sightseeing. You can park in the Waverly Train Station at a discounted price (25% off if you get the hotel to validate it) which is really close and about a 5 minute walk to the hotel. The check in... More

This hotel is in a perfect location--bus from airport stops right there (and is only 6 pounds round trip)...and all the sites are within walking distance...Princes Street side rooms have beautiful views ....breakfast is very good and large selection..the beds were very comfortable also...we would stay here again if we ever go to go to Edinburgh...and we highly recommend it...

Firstly I would have rated the hotel good but not very good, so 3.5 out of 5. The location is excellent just across the road from the train station (no parking on site). Lots of noise very early in the morning fron the laundry van which went on for quite some time, perhaps some carpet or similar covering the steel... More

I stayed at the Mercure for 3 days at the end of a 7 day Scotland tour. Having booked a single room, I was delighted to find a double bed with a huge balcony, which more than compensated for the small single room size. Spectacular view, prompt and friendly check-in, nice bathroom, and great restaurant/bar. With Jenners Dept store on... More
