Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent
"The Mountain Royal Hotel has an amazing location and was the home base of our travels in the lowlands. Breakfast was very good for a buffet/continental style offering. The only criticism I have would be the ridiculous showers. There was literally no way to shower with our soaking the entire bathroom. Very strange design decision."

8/10 Good
"Hotel was clean and great location! Only major issue with stay was that room was way too hot, even with room AC as low as it would go (20 C). Would stay here again for sure just for the convenient location (to trams, trains, and buses, as well as Haymarket being a great neighborhood itself)… but would not stay here in the hot summer months."
