Having stayed in many of the Bonvoy selection of hotels around the World we were looking forward to our stay at W Edinburgh. Sadly the experience was terrible !! The rooms were small ,dark and dingy with no views. The bathroom was a joke ! The smallest bathroom we have ever had in a hotel. Tiny sink area very close to toilet with a basic walk in shower. No room for a bath ! Internet didn’t work and even 4-5G reception was poor. We decided to have pre-Dinner Cocktails in the bar on the 11th Floor and were refused entry as we didn’t have a reservation. Crazy !! The final issue was the noise from the elevators. Which disturbed our sleep. All in all for £450 a night …TERRIBLE !

Very nice hotel. Fantastic location, nice rooms. We selected a room with two double beds, and for some reason or another there was an issue with the room. They upgraded us to a deluxe suite with one king bed, and offered a rollaway bed for the second. I was worried initially that my partner wouldn’t find the rollaway suitable(I snore so he needs to be able to get away from me if it’s too bad) but it ended up being just fine. And the room itself was very nice and spacious with a fabulous balcony. We also received complimentary drinks at their rooftop lounge, which was very nice of them as well. Overall great experience.
