Beautiful and friendly hotel

Situated perfectly in a quiet spot on the grounds of the university campus, we took andvantage of a woodland walk 1 minute from the hotel entrance. extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Room was very clean and spacious with a stunning bathroom having both a bath and large shower. Breakfast was a delight with plenty of options to choose from. My only complain would be the pillows are way too soft with little support for your head. Room was expensive as we didn’t realise when booking the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was on which I dare say increased the normal room tariff considerably

The hotel was a bit off the beaten path so we were a little uneasy about staying at the Marriott Edinburgh hotel. But there was a bus stop about 100 yards from the hotel. The 25 bus went right into Edinburgh and it took about 35 minutes which I thought was nice. The hotel itself was right in a college campus so it had a good energy about it. The room was great. The breakfast was reasonable for $10 pounds and the bar area was convenient. Would recommend if you don't mind taking a bus into Edinburgh.

Little thing make me happy

Everything was very clean the only thing I thought could have been better was the toilet seat, it has a yellow tint on the inner rim. There also weren't any wash cloths & had to go buy one.

The place was amazing. For a hotel close to Airport. It sure was good quality. It felt posh and was worth the money. The stay was nice and the rooms were exceptionally cozy. It was a pleasant stay. Highly recommend.
