The hotel staff were excellent, warm and welcoming. Our room was a standard double , and catered for everything we needed and potentially what we may need during our stay. Our room faced the garden so was nice and quiet , though I will say if you faced the street , it would have been the same experience as the hotel is on a quiet street. It is centrally located , and only a few minutes walk to Princess Street , restaurants , bars and shops and some of the sights Edinburgh has to offer. The quality of the cooked breakfast was top notch and plenty of alternative options if you wished a “healthier” or “lighter” option to start your day. Check out was not to 12 midday, providing you with a much more relaxed morning before you leave. If we come back to Edinburgh , Voco Hotel is definitely high on my list to return. Thankyou all for a very pleasant stay and excellent service. Hotel Voco , you have a great team of staff who take immense pride in their jobs , and so be very proud of them too !

Second stay here. Staff are excellent. Breakfast is good and the bar is very good too. Reception area is nice. Room was OK - it was quite cold (due to weather and old windows) but a plug-in heater had been provided prior to us checking in. Overall, it's pretty decent but as with a number of places I've stayed recently, feel it's starting to be in need of a bit of TLC/refresh.

This is the dirtiest hotel i have ever stay at. There was significant mold in most of the walls in the bathroom. There was staining from water leaking in the main room. Even after changing rooms, the 2nd bathroom still had significant mold. The carpets were stained and dirty too.
