We really enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh - West. The property is very conveniently located close to the airport. The rooms are very well kept and modern. There is a lovely restaurant/bar area, with plenty of space. The staff were extremely helpful and took great care of us. We would definitely return to this location, because of the location, staff and amenities.

Very nice hotel and the staff and breakfast were excellent. The problem I had was finding the hotel as it is on Edinburgh University campus area and there is no signage on the side of the hotel facing the road. The room was really nice with interesting lighting features. They do offer free parking and it is 6 minutes from the airport

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Free on-site parking is a big plus, and the hotel is fully wheelchair accessible. Breakfast was good with both hot and continental options. The location...
