The property is ideally located near the airport for the Royal Farm show. Hotel is very quiet and away from the busy areas of the city. Restaurant staff are helpful, although may stand over you when signing your bill, they should stay off to one side.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were nice, but there were some issues with the property. The bathroom did not have shower door, so the water got everywhere. It also didn’t have much for privacy either with only frosted glass window to separate users from the sitting/sleeping area (also no fan). Housekeeping never replenished the coffee and cream, so we were told to come down and get some!! Really? For the price - not worth it.

This was our third stay here as a family and once again it didn’t disappoint. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The public areas are stylish and clean, checking in and out is quick and easy, and the breakfast is excellent.

Matthew was amazing!! He took the time to get to know us and always had a smile for us. He is knowledgeable and willing to assist in any way possible. The hotel room was clean and quiet. The hotel restaurant had great food. The hotel is only a 20-25 min bus ride to the City Center, so very easy. We loved the hotel and would highly recommended.

Try elsewhere if you can

This hotel is massively overpriced..the room and facilities are similar to a Premier inn. Unless you need to be on the university campus there are better hotels. But eakfast was at best average quality but on one day has so hectic I could not find a table.
