Room wasn’t cleaned for 3 days, parking is expensive , changing rooms in spa were dirty. Restaurant service in the evening was slow, they ran out of fish and turned the pumps off one night so we couldn’t get a pint of draught.

Very clean rooms with much improved beds since the refit. Sadly the look is more corporate and has lost the cosy Scottish feel. There was only one usable socket in the room which was limiting since most were 5amp.

We had a really lovely stay at the Marriott Hotel Holyrood. From check‑in to checkout, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel at home. A special thank‑you to Dylan on the night team, who went above and beyond to help us with room service. His kindness and effort genuinely made our stay even better. Would happily stay again — highly recommended.

The room was a great size, the shower was fantastic, and the room was clean and fresh. It was quiet at night giving a peaceful sleep. The gentleman at the reception when we arrived was proffessional and helpful. The only thing i wished was that there was more seating areas to relax in near the bar and restaurant. A lovely hotel, and the booking in was quick on the arrival xx
