"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel! The location was perfect for our adventure. Right across from the Scott monument, a few minutes walk from the Waverly bus stop and a few minutes from the Royal mile. We didn’t have any views personally, but the rooms were clean and exactly as advertised. Breakfast options were delicious. Would definitely recommend!"

"We had the suite at the top of the tower and were elated. The room and the view was great. We could see Arthur’s seat and the Castle clearly from our window. The restaurant was great and I had one of the top 3 best desserts I’ve ever had. The bed was comfy, the staff was friendly."
