Reviews of Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection
Shaun Smyth
Fantastic location I would recommend getting the bus from the airport and back as you get dropped of with only a 2 min walk from bus stop to hotel, and only costs £6pp, we got a taxi to hotel cost £44 and he dropped us of not even close to the hotel, and give us the wrong deraction on foot. But will say you could walk past the hotel if not paying attention. As for the hotel itself, the lift on the...

Great hotel for a city stay, right next to Waverley station, shops and not far from the major sites. The staff are lovely and very helpful (shout-out to Anna, Archie and Sri for making the stay very enjoyable). Rooms are not huge, so don't expect a suite, but they are nicely decorated and clean. As with any city centre location, there can be a bit of noise at times, but nothing major or different ...

The breakfast spread was limited but the quality was alright and you get to dine with a view of St Giles and the whole row of histori...

An unforgettable stay! Everything was just perfect! A huge thank you to Archie and Tony for their kindness, support, and help throughout my stay. The room was absolutely wonderful — with a breathtaking view of the castle, the national bank, and the city’s monuments. The hotel itself is beautiful, the restaurant is excellent, and the location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of the city. Thi...

Rooms are small but have all the necessary furniture and extras to make your stay comfortable. I left my iPad behind here. They found it and sent it along -- it was packed securely and arrived in a pris...
