The room was tatty and the bathroom sink was really slow to drain. The breakfast was the only good thing about the stay, it was actually really good! Location was central but for the price, I thought the room was tired, carpet stained, sink not draining properly and shower water barely warm. Staff not very helpful and if you want to eat at the hotel restaurant you need a reservation in advance, so not very helpful. I wouldn't stay again.

Very good hotel well located for the tourist. Clean, comfortable, and felt save. Staff was not super friendly, though. In face m, at times, we felt they were making fun of us. Helpful enough-just didn’t live up to the image one has of the Scottish (especially post World Cup). Bar/food very over priced-especially with brilliant food hall next store. Again, solid hotel. Just jagged around the edges. Would recommend.

The Courtyard by Marriott is located in a non-central location, which is easily accessed by walking for many eating establishments. We wanted to experience more of the local cuisine, so we did quite a bit of walking but it was worth it. Many restaurants were next door or right across the street, so we didn't lack for \"local\" (Italian, Canadian, etc. but with differing versions of haggis) cuisine. Our room was cleaned daily and, any time you approached staff members, they were always ready and willing to help us. I can't say enough good about the staff. The breakfast in the hotel was quite expensive, so we ate elsewhere. The air conditioning in the room wasn't very efficient; we kept waking up in a sweat, even after the receptionist reset it and the gentleman came by and reset it again. It was way too hot for us and no way to really open the window more than a crack.

I would not recommend this.

There is no proper management of queue at the reception - there are 3 random separate lines and people were jumping queues. The staff did not show any intention to manage that.

Room cleanliness is alright but everything is out of date. The bath door is constantly stuck.

I stayed two nights in two separate rooms (as I went to highlands in-between). First night I was given a room directly facing the garbage areas with trolley. The second night I was given a room directly facing the car park - there was a car parking right in front of my window (I wasn’t sure if it’s a private parking area or it was actually facing a street), and I also saw some garbage trolleys. I couldn’t have the blinds open on both nights, which were unfortunate.

I would not recommend to anyone. Please consider another hotel with the price you pay.

Move hotel.in a great location near a Tram stop, train station and the bus station. 10 minutes walk to the Royal Mile. Staff was very friendly and competent. They let us check in early after our overnight flight, so that's worth it's weight in gold.

Rooms are nice enough, although I can't understand why I have to have a tiny sink when there is certainly room for a normal one. And whoever decided smoked glass doors with half inch gaps for the bathrooms should be fired.

Finally, press for upper floors as the first three are kind of under ground despite them saying they are not. We were on the first floor with a view of a car that parked there at 7am each day.

All that being said, we would likely stay here again.

Starting with the good part. The staff at breakfast couldn't have been more pleasant, welcoming and helpful. A lovely start to each of our three days.

We had an issue with one of the twin beds which we didn't notice until a late bed time and thus we couldn't speak to reception until the following morning. There was an issue with the \"topper\" mattress where it appeared to have been washed at an incorrect temperature, there were lumps the size of soup plates. We reported it to reception and went out for the day. On our return, the topper quite clearly hadn't been changed. We went back to reception who contacted housekeeping who reported they had no more \"toppers\" and that they were being ordered. I pointed out to reception that this didn't rectify the issue we had. We were offered another room as a solution. Not ideal with the hassle of repacking our luggage again, but certainly a remedy. It appears that no one would have dealt with the topper situation had we not complained about it twice.

Both rooms were slightly tired. Scuffs on the paintwork on the walls. There was a seal from one of the windows that had become detached. The dial cover fell off the shower tap and also on the electronic key fob on the door.

As mentioned at the beginning, the breakfast dinning room staff were exceptional. Unfortunately the same buzz couldn't be said for the reception staff. No real interest or engagement with the guests.

Reception is is on the ground floor as you walk in, my room is on 2 fine. Go up to my room, unpack, settle in. Go to get some food. Call lift go in, go to press G button, what the !. No G button, look around lift and there is a list of floors, would you believe it, reception is on 5.

Although my one criticism would be that the cost varies if you book it 24 hours in advanced it’s £17.50. If you go the day of it’s £22 I don’t get that the rooms are spacious and quite comfortable kudos to the housekeeping staff they were very much on top of everything cleaned my room every day. I requested it with the exception that they did not change the sheets other than that they were great. I would highly recommend the hotel.

Overall, our stay was very enjoyable. The hotel is in a great location, close to the Royal Mile, St. Andrews Square with its many restaurants, and just steps away from the starting point of the hop-on hop-off bus. At the same time, it’s tucked away enough to avoid the noise of the busiest areas.

Breakfast was decent, though a bit more variety would have been nice. The coffee wasn’t the best, but still drinkable. The common areas of the hotel are beautiful and recently renovated, while the rooms, though on the smaller side and slightly dated, were modern enough, clean, and comfortable.

There are plenty of dining options nearby, we especially recommend The Conan Doyle, which had excellent fish & chips and steak pie.

Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.
