Stopped here a few times on business as the location is right by where I need to go for work (Prince's St). The location is both an advantage and disadvantage insofar as it's central and convenient, but also on a very busy street and bus route. Buses (and drunks!) literally go up and down all night and it can be impossible to sleep on the lower floors. The lower floors are also smoking rooms - I was put in one and couldn't stand it so was moved to a high floor exec room which was much better. You still get the fab view of the castle but not the smoke or as much of the noise. The hotel is being renovated I believe. The standard rooms are nothing special a bit shabby to be honest but the exec rooms are really nice and contemporary. and worth paying the extra for. The breakfast /dining area is like a 1980s nightclub but it's perfectly functional. Breakfast is very cheap at only £8.95 compared to £20+ for some hotels. Great selection. Decent 3* hotel, accommodating and pleasant staff. Not bad. Best for tourists rather than business visitors I'd say as the street noise might prevent a good night's sleep.

  • Liked — Exec rooms are nice, large and contemporary.
  • Disliked — Smoke-filled lower floors and noise from Prince's St

This hotel is in a great location, across from the Lovely Princes Gardens and Museum/Gallery. There is also a distant view of the Castle. The room i stayed in was small, but very clean. The staff from reception to cleaning were very pleasant. The food wasn't bad and was reasonably priced for Lunch/Tea. Note that the reception is not in the Hotel Entrance but on 1st Floor, but lifts were working and fast. The scaffolding was still up on front of hotel when i stayed there and is a little unsightly. Shopping is very good on this street, lots of shops and marks and spencers next door. Lots of Buses across the road to bring you to different locations in Edinburgh and Bus Tours across the road at bridge.

We recently completed a two-night stay at the Ramada Mount Royal. Overall, this hotel is conveniently located, easily reached from the airport, and somewhat reasonably priced (We paid about £80/night B&B). The rooms were clean but average and in line with what you would expect at this tariff. The breakfast buffet had many choices and everything seemed to be freshly prepared, no need to go looking somewhere else to eat in the morning. The staff at the hotel was very helpful. I would probably stay here again. Not the best place in Edinburgh, but acceptable at this rate.

We just returned from a 4-night stay at the Ramada Mount Royal and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had a castle-view room and it was a perfect view along Princess Street and beyond to Old Town and the Castle. Part of what made our stay so enjoyable was the staff. They were so helpful and accommodating, right from the reservations department to the front desk and to the waitress we requested every day in the restaurant. It made our stay so enjoyable - the customer service can make or break your stay and they definitely made our stay. So much so, that I will be returning again to stay with them before year end!
