"I can only say that I love and hate this hotel. I had a bad stay experience. Can you believe I spent 2,700 yuan to book a room in the basement? ! The pictures of the hotel room are seriously inconsistent with the reality. When booking, I noticed that the pictures of ordinary room types may be underground, so I specially booked a room type one level higher (the corresponding pictures on Ctrip also showed normal windows and floors), but when I arrived at the hotel, I was still arranged in the basement. The hotel manager explained that their rooms were not divided into floors, and after all the rooms upstairs were arranged that day, they arranged a room on the ground floor for us. Living underground was really unacceptable, so I had to accept the manager's recommendation and upgrade to a top-floor room for an additional 80 pounds. Environment: As shown in the picture, the view from the upgraded room is really great. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk from important attractions such as Princes Street and the Castle. The location is slightly far, but acceptable. Facilities: The room facilities are generally good. The hotel environment is very classic and well maintained. There is a parking lot at the back door, which is quite convenient. Hygiene: It may be that we changed rooms temporarily. After checking in, we found that the bathroom must have been used by someone, and there was also a used razor in the trash can. I wonder if the cleaning staff threw it away... Therefore, if you want to check in, it is recommended to determine the room type and floor in advance."

"Although the absolute price was a bit high, the value for money was excellent! The space was huge, equivalent to two bedrooms with bathtubs, plus an oversized living room, hallway, and walk-in closet. Gin, whiskey, vodka, cola, designated beers, and other drinks were all free to enjoy. There was twice-daily housekeeping service, and coffee capsules were refilled constantly. I was very satisfied. However, the hotel overall felt a bit dated. The main entrance surprisingly didn't lead to the lobby; it seemed to be more focused on dining and the spa. The actual lobby was hidden on the basement level with no signs."

"Getting a one-bedroom apartment right by the Royal Mile in Edinburgh in August at this price? What an absolute steal! It's also super close to the train station – the location couldn't be more perfect. This was hands down the best hotel of my entire UK trip. My only minor gripe was the price, but honestly, it was worth every penny. The apartment even came with a washing machine and a full kitchen, which is ideal for longer stays. Just a tip: if you plan to use the washing machine, remember to bring your own detergent, as it's not supplied in the room. The hotel service was outstanding. The staff proactively helped with luggage, which is a massive relief because Edinburgh has a lot of stairs, and getting from the front desk to your room can be quite a trek. This thoughtful service truly made a difference."

The room and bathroom were a bit small, and the soundproofing wasn't the best, but thankfully the other guests were quiet late at night. The off-season price wasn't too expensive, so it was pretty good value for money."

TTuantuantuanzizhuThe hotel is located not far from the throne of Arthur and is a historic manor. There is its own beautiful lawn and Scottish Highland cattle to take pictures. The decoration in the hotel is beautiful, very careful, and they are all historical relics. The fly in the ointment is that the room is small, but the bed is very comfortable. The hotel's restaurant is also a well-rated English restaurant. You can try it.

__cmb4392267300404350This is a classic British-style hotel in Edinburgh, highly recommended by a friend. Due to a change in our itinerary, Ctrip was very responsible in communicating with us, but the hotel refused to adjust the dates or the number of rooms, so we had to cancel and rebook, with the price going from 6,700 to 9,200... Since we were traveling with a child, the hotel added a small bed for free. Although the mattress was very soft, it was a great value at no extra charge. The hotel's amenities are exquisite, and upon check-in, they gave us small cookies that we could draw with syrup. We also received three bottles of water and a Scottish seabird doll every day. The breakfast was the same every day, but the fruit was delicious, and they provided heated milk, maintaining the quality of a high-end hotel. Overall, it's a hotel with good service and facilities, but the price wasn't as impressive.

HHafirunisaTraveled with my wife and our 10-year-old kid. The location was superb, right in the heart of town—near Scott Monument and directly in front of Victoria Garden. The hospitality was top-notch, especially in the F&B department. A waitress from Asia (likely Nepal) was exceptionally professional and friendly. An amazing place to stay with family & friends—highly recommended!

When those Edinburgh voco hotels are selling for 1700, I will not hesitate to spend 2100 to stay at the Waldorf Astoria. What kind of bicycle do you need for 2100? This is the Waldorf Astoria hahaha

PPeter 佛系游客Good points: The location is perfect, city centre. Service is above average. We had the breakfasts, not buffet style but actually v good. Al carte style, not easy to over eat.walking distance to a lot of attractions and starting points of local tours. Staff at reception were helpful and friendly. Above average. Check in. Check out smooth. Although my family of 4 while in UK, would book 2 rooms, recently, probably for the fun of the booking staff (definitely felt intentional) or the inadequacy of the computers, our family would be placed in 2 rooms in different floors, this time it DID NOT HAPPEN. So special thanks to W hotel for making this normal request come true. Not good points: Although nothing wrong with artificial friendliness, however, when all our luggage was delayed by British Airway, and there was a reasonable line in check in. The reception staff maybe could cut down the chatting with the guests and focused in doing the job and checking us in quicker. House keeping was below average, dirty glasses were not cleaned or replaced for TWO days. However this was not uncommon in UK in general. Breakfast ordering in the restaurant, orders were missed twice but actually above average in UK. Reminder: The hotel slippers were nice. Available on request, they would pretend the slippers were in the rooms, they would be available when requested Free. Thanks.
