"Very clean and absolutely the best staff. Rooms are huge the buffet that is offered for breakfast is worth the money. Very close to the Royal Mile making Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood an easy walk. It is a 9 minute walk to the Waverly Bridge Airlink stop. Making it easy to get to and from the airport."
"Great location. The breakfast is really good. Staff is very helpful at the front desk. There’s even a place to do your laundry in the basement. I really like this place. It’s a lot cheaper than a hotel."
Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

"Myself, my daughter and granddaughter had a two night stay at the Mount Royal and could not fault it. The room was large and airy and the beds were comfortable. I am vegetarian and the choices for breakfast were more than adequate and in pleasant surroundings. Would definitely come back."
