I have stayed at the Residence Inn in Edinburgh a few times on business this year, and highly recommend it. It has a lot of construction going on around it, but the free Wi-Fi, free breakfast, partial kitchen, and GREAT staff more than make up for it. I have stayed at some of the historic hotels in EDI, and love... More

My wife and I stayed hear for three days while visiting Edinburgh and again some 12 days later after visiting other parts of Scotland. This hotel had great staff, great rooms, excellent breakfast (though it was crowded at times). What is great about this is that you can walk two blocks or so and take the #23 bus to Princes... More

Staying in a new, modern, tastefully decorated, spacious and conveniently located hotel in "old" Edinburgh is pure delight. We visited Edinburgh in end May. While Edinburgh is very beautiful with a wonderful castle, lovely old buildings and rows of interesting shops, the city centre is busy and a bit dirty. Going "home" to Residence Inn by Marriott every night is... More

Just spent 5 days here at this gem of a hotel. We booked two rooms to accommodate our family. We traveled with my 80 year old mother. The staff was so nice and made us feel right at home. They took care of us, especially my two daughters. All the recommendations were awesome. The staff that particularly stood out were... More

If I could give this hotel 4.5 stars, I would. I had just a few minor concerns that make me hesitant about a 5 star rating. So, that being said... Location The hotel is in a newer part of Edinburgh with some condos, office buildings and even a Starbucks, and a 5 or so minute walk to the Royal Mile.... More

This is a pretty new hotel in a pretty new part of town. It is very walkable to the castle and historic sites, even though the new "quartermile" section of Edinburgh isn't part of all that. Take a cab from Waverly train station as it's a bit too far to walk with luggage. It didn't seem like this was meant... More

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. It is modern and the location is really great. However, there are a few concerns: - everyone seems to forget to scan their keycard to use the elevator - the service elevator is completely indistinguishable from the standard elevator - the scrambled eggs at breakfast are completely flavorless - minor design...

It seems as though this building was originally intended for another purpose (an apartment house? an office building?) and turned into a Residence Inn late in the design process. So there is only a single elevator for over 100 rooms, and the elevator is operated by a key card system that no guest can understand. There is a free continental... More

We stayed here twice within 10 days. Each experience was totally different. I have given a rating of 3, the average of our first visit of 5, and our second of 2. If I could have given 3.5, I would. Our first stay was for 3 nights prior to going to the west of Scotland. We were greeted warmly and... More
