"The hotel is clean, well maintained, and comfortable. But the big thing that stood out were the staff. Always very friendly and nice to talk to, and super helpful with everything you might need. The hotel is in a good location without being too busy around. Will definitely be coming back."

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely outstanding stay! Had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the Christmas market and Edinburgh Castle. It was perfectly situated. 3 min walk from the train station and 4 mins from shops. Everything was a stones throw away! Beautiful bathroom and room in general on the top floor. Breakfast was excellent and worth the money. As we were on the sleeper train, we arrived incredibly early and the hotel took and kept hold of the bags either side of our journeys! Highly recommend staying here. Could not fault the hotel, staff and service! "
