눇I very much appreciated the upgrade to a Privilege room, certainly added to the comfort of our stay. Our whole experience at the Mercure Edinburgh was fantastic.

“Not worth the money”

눉This hotel was incredibly poor, especially given the high cost. The rooms were stuffy, hot and looked like they hadn't been renovated for about 50 years. It was an uncomfortable and unsatisfactory stay and I really wouldn't recommend it.
눇Good location.

“A good location, but horrible service”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Classic Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉We had booked a twin room, and the room wasn't ready when we got there. Then when we got it, it wasn't the right room, so we had to wait again for 30 min and they forgot about us. No sorry or anything from the reception personel. The beds in the rooms were great, but you couldn't sit in the sofa without falling on to the floor. If you climb over the sofa, the view from the room was great and the breakfast was great. I was just expecting more for the price that was paid.
눇The hotel has a perfect location for anyone doing some shopping and sightseeing in Edinburgh.

눉When I checked in the person at the reception was not kind. She even made me wait despite there was nobody else at the reception desk. My room looked to an interior patio and windows were not insulated, I could here the noise of the air conditioning. I also think the hotel needs a facelift.
눇Location was excellent to visit all the main attractions and also close to public transportation

눉Fried eggs were very poor and the yokes were to hard. Room did not have any air conditioning, but a fan was provided but the noise from it kept me awake so had to turn it off, then the room heated up again. Carpet had a stain on it and no bottled water to cool down with during the night. Had to buy that, along with biscuits, which my friend had in his double room automatically. Where as I only had the basic tea and coffee in my cheaper single room. Finally the noise from the room next door from the sound of the TV and people leaving their rooms for breakfast. Oh and on the last day there were several children running up and down several floors laughing and shouting.
눇Haggis for breakfast was very nice

“Way too expensive & Not impressed”

눉The room was tiny. Then upgraded was charged extra £35 per night had to sleep in bed with my daughter as there was no twin rooms. Was told going to send up single doonas but I had to call 3 times to get them. The toilet paper was cheap. The soap provided made my skin break out in hives. The balcony door would not lock. When I told reception they came up n locked it but I wanted to have door open & when I opened it wouldn't lock again so door was left open most of stay. The temperature was not able to changed. The shower tap was too far away from shower head and trying to get temperature right was a nightmare. The mirror that magnified is in the wrong spot on mirror. I would have had to be 6 ft to reach over the sink to look in it. The cleaners didn't take the rubbish on first day they left it on desk. There was no place to put suitcases they had to be left on the floor.
눇The location was good

눉Warn and tired furniture in the main dining area. Rooms were in need of updating and shower head was fixed therefore not adaptable for tall people. Not worth the money. Expensive drinks and food, doesn't encourage residents to stay and eat or drink.
눇The iced water at reception. Quick lift.

“Nightmare for GBP 212”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Everything SHOULD be better for GBP 212 per night!!! The hotel furniture needs total replacement (see pictures attached), the corridors and rooms have funny smell (old carpets), the bathrooms are old and not maintained (our bath door could be closed only by locking it from the inside...). Even the chairs at the coffee/breakfast hall were heavily weared. The rooms were small, even if you pay additional GBP 30 for "upgrade" to a room with a view towards the garden and the noisy street. The only PC available for the guests was weirdly fixed at the old telephone booth in front of the reception and working very slowly with a need of frequent restarts. All the hotel interior is from the 1970s, I beleive, and has not been refurbished since). We were extremely disappointed and felt cheated! Definitely, NOT recommended for stay!
눇The only positive thing from our experience with this hotel was its location in the heart of the new town in Edinburgh. Yet, there is literaly no access with a car to the hotel, as this part of Princess Str. is closed for cars exluding buses and taxis - so we had to park at the nearest parking (Waverlay station) and come to the hotel by foot with all of our luggage - abt 1 km distance through the crowded tourist area...

눉Shower lever not working properly. Had to complain 3 times before we were offered to change room. Room a bit warm though the fan helped to chill the room a bit. Breakfast was the SAME dull continental type, no effort to change it on alternate day or provide Asian food.
눇Room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful, location is great right in the middle of everything.
