“A good choice for an Edinburgh stay”

Good location, close to city centre and all the attractions and restaurants. The first room we were given was in the basement and was a bit dingy, the second room was on the 2nd floor with a view of the park across the street, much nicer.

Good location, close to city centre and all the attractions and restaurants. The first room we were given was in the basement and was a bit dingy, the second room was on the 2nd floor with a view of the park across the street, much nicer. The staff was mostly friendly and helpful. The restaurant and terrace are lovely. The bar is wonderful, serving delicious cocktails. We would stay here again.

“Great location and comfortable stay”

This hotel was in a great location. It was quiet, but still close enough to walk to everything we wanted to see.

This hotel was in a great location. It was quiet, but still close enough to walk to everything we wanted to see. The staff was accommodating when we arrived too early for our room to be ready by holding our bags. We had a lovely conversation with the bar staff while enjoying some drinks. The room itself was clean, and the bed was comfortable. My only real complaint is that the room was so hot, and we could not adjust the temperature. No matter what we did with the thermostat, it was warm. The staff kindly brought us a fan, but it didn't do much. We found out later in our trip that literally every store and hotel we went to was too warm for us. We're from the midwest so I guess we're just used to the cooler weather and tend to keep our home on the cooler side even in the winter. The breakfast in the restaurant was good enough, though not spectacular.

“Great location, nice hotel”

Great location - away from the noise, crowds and traffic of the city center, but only a ten- fifteen minute walk to the Old Town. Wonderful walking paths behind the hotel/up the hill.

Great location - away from the noise, crowds and traffic of the city center, but only a ten- fifteen minute walk to the Old Town. Wonderful walking paths behind the hotel/up the hill. Reception staff very good, and helpful. Room - we got a king suite on the ground floor (ie, in the basement, but it did have windows onto a garden) which was nice and roomy, though a rather odd layout, and tho the main part of the room was clean, the areas behind furniture and curtains had a lot of dust and debris. Breakfast - very good selection of high quality foods, both hot and cold, and made-to-order oatmeal was perfect. Breakfast staff were a mixed lot - some great, others rather cold.

“Overpriced”

Stayed at the Voco as part of an Easy Jet holiday this May bank holiday. Did look at booking separately but was just as expensive.

Stayed at the Voco as part of an Easy Jet holiday this May bank holiday. Did look at booking separately but was just as expensive. Firstly the hotel is in an excellent location and great if you do not have a car with you to get to the city centre. The issue is the hotel rooms themselves and amount paid for what was essentially a tiny box room. I appreciate it was a bank holiday and the marathon so prices hiked but this was a tad excessive. The first room we were shown was room 3 in the basement which was tiny, had little natural light, a window that overlooked a hole and the smell of damp which was over powering. I found the room to be exceptionally claustrophobic and it stank. After raising my concerns we were kindly moved to a room upstairs. Whilst I appreciate the hotel was busy, this room, room 33 the room was barely bigger than the double bed in it. Sat right under the stairs so was noisy and there were scuff marks on walls and furniture I’d assume because it was impossible to move freely around the room due to its tiny size. For a 4 star hotel I’d have expected all rooms to be 4 star and not just some. This is in no way a 4 star hotel. Whilst clean I was soo sad and disappointed again for the cost and what we got. It was not good value nor fair at all. Breakfast was good. Basic but tasty buffet style. Just soo disappointed with the room and the extreme overpricing here. Same with bar prices be careful!
