The Mount Royal is in a perfect location for exploring the city of Edinburgh. The staff were friendly and helpful. The twin room we booked was clean, quiet and spacious. We also had breakfast which was delicious with stunning views over Princess Street, it was also great value for money. We would definitely stay here again. 🙂

Amazing! Highly recommend! Location could not be more convenient and the staff was amazing. I wish I could remember the name of the guy who checked us in. He reminded me of Samwell Tarly from Game of Thrones.. Dark hair, Mid-Twenties, outgoing, cheery and helpful. He was super nice and gave us information about some attractions near by. We asked for an upgrade and he got permission from management to give us a good price for an awesome room with the best views of Old Town. We'd stay at Mount Royal again for sure. Room was clean and newly refurbished. Only thing that would have been nice would've been a small fridge, but no problem. Marks & Spencers was right next door. :)

Perfect location, within walking distance to all the main areas we wanted to visit. Staff couldn't have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very nice, good variety, lovely view of the castle from the restaurant. Room comfy and very clean. In-room air conditioning which was easy to understand and use. Would definitely return, thank you!

Mount Royal, Edinburgh

First of the view from this hotel is beautiful, my room was just what I needed as I was travelling alone. Check in was smooth, my room ready hours before my check in time which was a great relief as I'd travelled by train from Leicestershire, so getting rid of bags, cases and being able to rest was great, I did note they can look after bags before check in though. My room was just nice for me, clean, beautiful view, clean bathroom, with a great shower! Room had a large TV, hairdryer, ironing equipment, dry cleaning arrangements, tea/ coffee, kettle etc. Room was cleaned daily and drinks re stocked. The bed was the comfiest I've ever slept in whilst away and slept really good. The hotel is huge with 7 floors, I was on 7th but lifts are available if mobility is an issue. The restaurant is spacious with an amazing view of the castle, it was not overcrowded and the atmosphere was relaxed. All staff are polite and will help if needed. I loved Edinburgh and when I come back I'm hoping Mount Royal have a room for me. Thankyou for a quiet, relaxing stay.

I extremely enjoyed my stay in Edinburgh because of the location the hotel is at. The staff was super helpful accommodating making sure our stay was as comfortable and as safe as we want it, everything from the hotel is walking distance from the locations that I need to go to the walk for no more than 15 minutes if not less Transportation at the hotel was amazing

This was the nicest hotel we stayed in during our 2 week trip to Scotland. It was also the most expensive one. Although very expensive, it is located on Princes Street, and so was very convenient to catch the Tram to the airport.
