From booking to check out, great experience, especially in these trying times. We’ve booked to go back in February

Good..but with a little bit of effort..

Arianna J. Business - 29/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Location is excellent with wonderful castle and city view. Reception staff extremely polite. Room was supposed to be an upgrade but we were allocated a tired and dated older room. Note: policy of no alcohol as part of room service after 7.30pm, very limited menu also. Last restaurant booking 7pm. Again, limited bar style menu only. We were refused coffee after our hurried meal, at 7.50, as coffee machine had been switched off! Breakfast was very good, presuming you want full Scottish, restaurant has a panoramic city view above Princes Street. Pity no Xmas market this year as it would have been stunning. With a little more effort, the small number of guests that are coming through their doors could have been leaving with a far better impression. Room rate was at reduced price through 3rd party vendor, so overall not too bad. Covid risk management good. I'd stay again particularly for location but not at premium rates. As no on site parking, hotel offers reduced rates £13 for 24 hours, at nearby Omni car park. 5 minutes or so walk. For travellers coming in to the city, car park charges are exorbitant all over. The train station and bus stations are 5 minutes away from this hotel.

Great city centre hotel for the station

Room was ok, restaurant was awful as the staff could not speak English the young girl would not listen.

Dear Chriss k., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Edinburgh City Princes Street Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I am a little taken aback by the feedback as both girls working in our restaurant during your visit both speak fluent English and understand English perfectly. Both have worked here for many years and one is in a supervisory role and we have never had any issues with them not being able to understand or speak the English language. Kind regards, Myra McKillop Operations Manager
