Post renovations, I imagine this property will be amazing, but at this time there is major construction going on, so it is LOUD from ~7 am thru late afternoon. All staff were kind, courteous and quickly responsive.

I stayed a night at the Mount Royal Hotel. It was clean and tidy. the check in/out process was seamless. Good continental break. However, it was a bit expensive for the size of the room I had.

Excellent stay. Location was fabulous - a short walk to all major attractions and public transit outside our door. We had a room with a VIEW and it was outstanding. Room was very clean, front desk was super friendly and responsive to our needs. Breakfast was great too. Bathroom had really nice toiletries which is always appreciated. Thank you to the Team at Mount Royal Edinburgh for a fantastic stay!

The Mount Royal is in a perfect location for exploring the city of Edinburgh. The staff were friendly and helpful. The twin room we booked was clean, quiet and spacious. We also had breakfast which was delicious with stunning views over Princess Street, it was also great value for money. We would definitely stay here again. 🙂

Comfortable and well maintained property close to the rail station. Very walkable to the Royal Mile. Nice and helpful hotel staff.
The rate seemed a little high but it is a very good overall value during the high travel season. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a lot of options and very good quality. The hotel does a good job in regulating the number of people at breakfast. We discovered that that is important in Edinburgh because the quality of the offerings there could attract a lot of non-Hotel guests.
Hotel guests are required to make reservations for breakfast, which is easily done at check-in.

I extremely enjoyed my stay in Edinburgh because of the location the hotel is at. The staff was super helpful accommodating making sure our stay was as comfortable and as safe as we want it, everything from the hotel is walking distance from the locations that I need to go to the walk for no more than 15 minutes if not less Transportation at the hotel was amazing

Perfect location, within walking distance to all the main areas we wanted to visit. Staff couldn't have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very nice, good variety, lovely view of the castle from the restaurant. Room comfy and very clean. In-room air conditioning which was easy to understand and use. Would definitely return, thank you!

We booked this property months in advance and we had a confirmation butand when we arrived they told us they canceled our room. We had to go elsewhere . Don't gamble on having a room at the Mount Royal.
