Stayed 2 nights at the Edinburgh Marriott as a base camp to exploring the city of Edinburgh. Very easy and convenient to get to from the airport, only 1 stop away or a 5-10 min drive or so. Also very convenient to get to Edinburgh, just take the airport Express and you'll be there in about 30 to 40 min. Parking was minimal cost if I remember (~10 pounds) The lobby is comfortable, decent seating area with a small bar area. Bar has reasonable drink prices and friendly service - definitely check it out. Also a small restaurant with an ok breakfast buffet (Glasgow Marriott beats it hands down though). Concierge was also really awesome at explaining what to do in the area. I got one of the larger king rooms with a sofa bed. The hotel and rooms are definitely on the older side. Bathroom was adequate size though not large. Biggest issue though, is the rooms have no A/C, the recommendation was to crack open (since you cant fully open any windows) and request a fan. Even worse, the requested fan never came. The bed was fairly comfortable, sofa bed not so much. Overall, in desperate need of a renovation. read more

Like the other people have mentioned, the hotel is on the older side and is lacking on many aspects like being out dated, the ice machine not working, the drink cooler not working and etc, but the staff is superb and is the reason why I'm giving them a 4 star instead of three. read more

As a Platinum level member of Marriott's frequent flier program, I've stayed in several Marriott properties in the UK and in the US. This one in Edinburgh perfectly hits the formula for a full service Marriott: room service, restaurant, bar, executive lounge, etc. My room (I'm not sure if I was upgraded) was quite nice with a comfortable King-size bed, work desk with chair, two lounge chairs, a large flat screen TV and in the cabinets, a mini-fridge and a coffee/tea service tray. The bathroom was well stocked and good sized with that super curved shower curtain rail I keep meaning to get for my own home. The room was quiet and clean with little noise from the neighbors or the hallway. I wasn't facing the parking lot (free parking) but the grassy area was host to a colony of at least 10 or 20 of the cutest bunny rabbits that were munching away on who knows what. Other than the parking and the coffee service, not much else is free here. Some hotels have a "welcome" bottle of water waiting. This one did not. Some hotels offer free Internet. This one does not in a big way. Fortunately, I have a WWAN dongle so I don't need their bandwidth at £6 for an hour or £15 for a day (about $10 / $25). All told, a comfortable stay that's close to the airport. If you don't have a car and wish to visit Edinburgh's sites, there is a bus stop just across the road and you can be in the city centre in less than a half hour. read more

For the price of this hotel, you'd expect the rooms to be nice, but that was not the case. There was dirt on the beds comforter and there was something that looked like a cigarette burn on the chair. The shower required instructions and the breakfast was subpar for what we paid. The inside of the hotel is beautiful and they have very nice facilities, but when you're paying for a clean place to sleep, it was a disappointment. read more

I'm giving this four stars instead of five because of the location (outside of the route of many main attractions) and the efficiency, but otherwise this was an excellent stay. They had great food at the bar, extremely helpful and friendly service, and it was very clean and well maintained. I stayed here for work and it was near where I needed to be for meetings during the day. It's also a quick taxi ride from the airport, so for my trip it was very convenient and near the business school. It's within walking distance to a train station and mall. About 25 minutes from downtown Edinburgh. I look forward to staying here again, should I need to return. read more

This hotel is situated not far from the airport.And it is very easy to get there from the city centre and the airport.Bus service is perfect. And it does not take much time. The staff at the reception are very polite and helpful.It takes few minutes to register. The room is very big enough.It is very cosy.Bathroom is nice. Everything is spick and span there. The restaurant is very big. All waiters and waitresses are very friendly. We were offered a perfect service there. As for breakfasts there was a great choice of different kinds of food. Food was very delicious. Their executive lounge room is a perfect place to relax. You can have some drinks and meal or just read papers or watch TV there. read more

In Room 355 the window only opens 2 inches and the room is baking hot. Air Conditioning is broken. Fridge is also Broken, my food is between the 2 panes of the windows to hopefully keep cool. Guest Response on Marriott phone is broken. Slow response from staff, and unable to fix or exchange Fridge. I am leaving a cold shower running through the night to cool the room so I can sleep. I am very glad my employer has paid for the room as I would never choose this hotel. read more

I am American borne and raised in Edinburgh and when we travel to Scotland my American wife is always happy at the Marriott, closest thing you will get to US quality. Stayed here 4 times. I really don't like the fact that Internet is $35 a day/ give me a break! Other than that pretty good access to airport and in a good part of town, all buses take you right in Princes St. My tip... move into the 1990s time for free Internet!!!! read more

Good room service and cleaning service. Restaurant menu is good, but service can be slow. An average selection of Single malts at the bar, which is a disappointment for a Scottish 3 stars hotel. otherwise, excellent facilities and large car park are a plus. read more

111 Glasgow Rd., Edinburgh EH12 8NF, Scotland "first impression - low - ending good" Reviewed January 22, 2011 1. staff never assume that you know how to spell someone's name - always ask first! And NEVER call a potential or actual guest a liar! 2. communication needs to be improved b/t the hotel and the reservations central team 3. after 1 and 2 were cleared up - the staff settled and new staff came on shift who were great! 4. room - fantastic - smelt fresh, bathroom clean, business/executive amazing and so were the night lady and breakfast lady/waitresses nothing was too much for them; they we only all too willing to offer help and make know what services or extras they could retrieve /prepare for us. 5. The fitness centre staff man was really informative and helpful - fantastic fitness centre - almost made us stay our entire 14 days in this one plac e- massive pool, spa and sauna too :) really impressed AFTER the angryness at check was sorted out! Rate wise mmmm - still more money than used to paying for a one night stay. cleanliness - really good. service - not easy to rate as above - because the service from different staff was far greater and better than from other staff. location - fantastic - minutes from the airport and maccas value - nmmm could be improved as it is about 30minutes to the city rooms - nice, comfy, cosy, nice smell, aroma, non smoking -excellent sleep quality - we're all very tired so slept well. * Stayed January 2011, traveled as a couple read more

This is the second time I've stayed at this Marriott hotel in Edingburgh, Scotland. The first time being about 2 years ago. I would have given this hotel 4-5 stars because of its's pros (as I will discuss below). However, during this stay, I've had a few cons which made me drop the rating down to just 3 stars. Pros: -this hotel has a clean bathroom!!! One of the cleanest ones I've had compared to the many different hotels of comparable levels I've stayed at. My biggest thing for a hotel is bathroom, and it's disgusting to me when the floor of the tub is basically black. Here, it looks like they continually bleach it because the tub is white! Everything about the bathroom is clean, and they clean it up nicely every day. -The location of the hotel. Right in front of the hotel is the bus stop which takes you straight to city center for just 1 pound 20 pence each way! It's really convenient because parking at the city center is extremely difficult and I've learned it's always easiest to just take the bus. It's about a 30 minute ride, and if you take the bus 100 (airlink), there are minimal stops. -the staffs are really really nice. The overall building is very clean. Cons -restaurant and in room dining food sucks. But, tha'ts the UK, so I don't really hold them against them. If you order room service, even during their peak times, they are pretty good at bringing up the food to you in a timely manner. In fact, if it's not there in 45 minutes, the meal is free. -the bed this time is ridiculous! the bed is CLEARLY worn, because you can see that clearly it sags in the middle of the bed. I swear, I can feel the mattress springs popping up and pushing in all parts of my back each time I lay down :( There's a mattress pad, but even that is completely war (except at the corners of the bed where it's extremely comfortable). I've tried both sides of the beds, and both sides are clearly worn. I've resorted to quadruple folding the comforter and laying on top of it to create a soft enough cover so that I do not feel springs popping into my back. -the internet costs an arm and a leg, yet it keeps going out! Yesterday night and tonight...for long long periods (hours) and yet, it costs 75 pounds for a week of service or 15 pounds a day! -the tv is lacking in the size and quality department. and tv stations suck (just a few locals) but this i can overlook as well. I do like this hotel. Maybe it was unfortunate luck that I got the worse bed imaginable. Hopefully next time I come back, I can up this rating to 4 stars. And of course, I'm up at 3 am posting a review because I seem to never be able to adjust to the times when I go abroad. read more

Reasonable rate for a city hotel. The staff are nice and helpful. We stayed in room 115. There are two areas that need improvement; first the mattress is old and very tired and the aircon unit didn't work. Our breakfast was top notch. McSweens haggis (tasty and just peppery enough) a couple of perfectly fried eggs cooked as you wait, bacon and sausage that was still fresh and tasty. Our breakfast was 10am and it was good to see small amounts of food being continually refreshed - a great change from the mounds of dried stuff seen in some places. Great place to stay! read more

This place was not so great. Dated and old (but not old enough to be interesting). Breakfast was expensive and just ok. Check-in procedure was fussy. read more

Rooms are somewhat tired however it is handy for the airport. Not anything within walking distance but bus stop is close by and parking was free read more

This is an average Marriott property. Breakfast buffet very nice, workout room well appointed, employees helpful. However, bed not at all comfortable, internet VERY SLOW- ripoff for $35!! We thought the location was a little removed for sightseeing. They don't have a store for essentials either... have to walk across the street to gas station store. Granted, it does offer US-like amenities in the room (like washcloths!) Would not stay there again- we were on a Trafalgar Tour, so we had no choice. read more

Had to cancel trip due to family medical emergency. No refund possible despite repeated efforts to have Marriott do the right thing. Avoid this hotel. read more
