Pros:

This hotel is in a great position, just a 10 minute walk to the Royal Mile.

Cons:

The food was really good but the evening menu was very limited, we had to eat out on our last night even though we didn't really want to because we had run out of choices.

Comfortable Marriott Hollyrood!
Pros:

The property was near #12 Hop On Hop Off stop, so it was easy to get an overview of the city. Very close to Hollyrood Castle/Kings Gallery. If you like walking, it is at the bottom of the Royal Mile, so easy to explore the whole Royal Mile - from bottom to top. The room was spacious. Staff friendly. Breakfast was A+. Loved the afternoon peach tea in the lobby as you return to the hotel. While we didn’t use it, the gym was great for keeping in shape - spacious and well equipped.
The clerk at the front desk saved us, when our Uber was severely delayed, getting us to the airport on time.

Cons:

A minor ding is that the hotel restaurant menu is a little limited but the food is very good. Just gives you good reason to go out and explore. If you’re not a walker (or cannot do hills), keep in mind that everything is uphill from there, at the very bottom of The Royal Mile.

Excellent choice for a short family trip to Edinburgh, great fitness facilities
Pros:

Outstanding fitness facility - a full gym. By far the best of any hotel I have stayed in of this size. Pool and sauna as well. Breakfast was satisfactory. Location a block from lower end of the Royal Mile suitable for walking that stretch to the Castle.

I’d stay there again. Clean, comfortable beds. I’d make sure from the beginning the staff know there are more than 2 adu
Pros:

Clean, good location.

Cons:

I clearly booked a room for 3 adults, thinking I had secured a queen or double bed and two twin beds. Instead, we got a very spacious suit but did not get three coffee cups, three waters, etc. Also, the pot to boil water was disgusting and we had to request it be cleaned out. Something is wrong with your hospitality staff not getting proper instructions on how to supply a room and clean out pots.
