Lock in a great price for G&V Royal Mile Hotel, Edinburgh – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

close to lots of stuff, including bus connections for sightseeing. View was great.

Randy, United States of America

Lovely hotel with friendly staff and stylish room. Great location! Would definitely come back.

Chanya, Thailand

The staff were outstanding with nothing too much trouble including great recommendations for dinner. A complimentary gin and tonic on arrival. The location could not be bettered, just off the Royal Mile to avoid hordes but so close to major sites in both directions. The pillows were excellent. The lively ambience and colourful decor were a change from the somewhat grim exterior setting of old Edinburgh. The breakfast was good.

Jenny, Australia

“Excellent but service at breakfast should be much better”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Deluxe Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Service at breakfast was marred by one or two poorly trained staff members and a lack of overall supervision. Standing at the buffet a waiter reached in front of me to grab a milk jug totally oblivious to my presence. Several dishes with fruits were left empty for some time and dirty plates sat. Coffee was served for one in a huge teapot and the identical teapot was filled brim full with water but only two tea bags (for 3 persons) leading to ultra weak tea! We were offered hot milk with tea (not how tea is taken in Scotland or anywhere in the UK). When I asked if my kipper would come with brown toast and butter the waiter’s response was that he would see what he could do! This is a 5 star hotel with 3 star service because of a lack of training and at times insufficient staffing. We found similar in the bar at night where the staff were too busy chatting to see that we wanted to settle our bill.
눇Excellent. We chose this hotel because of its position and the fact that it offers parking - although at a fairly hefty additional price. The hotel is clean, modern, quiet and has every facility in the room although the deluxe room we stayed in had a shower but no bath. The hotel met every possible need and we will definitely return next time we visit Edinburgh. The offering at breakfast was more than adequate with a choice of hot cooked breakfast as well as an extensive cold buffet incorporating fresh cold fish, meats and cheeses as well as bread, pastries, fruit and cereal.

눉Nothing to dislike.
눇Clean modern rooms , great location next to the castle and a pizza express right outside. Rooms were also quite so no road noise etc which you would expect in such a busy area. Staff were also very polite and upgraded us for free to a deluxe room without us even asking which was much appreciated. Breakfast was also great and of good quality, which you can also order fresh hot breakfast of your choice.

눉my only negative experience was, I am sure, rare. I was sitting at the bar and a glass fell from the overhanging rack, splintering. I was cut on the hand. Nobody seemed bothered. I had to ask a manager for a bandaid. I would have thought they'd at least buy me a drink! ;)
눇small portions but very good.
