The hotel is very modern, clean and quiet. Bed was comfortable and we had a room with a view to the castle. The location is perfect, near the city centre and bus stops. Breakfast was delicious, lots of variety. Staff was very polite. We really enjoyed our stay, perfect for couples! :)

We enjoyed our stay there for seven days, with a breakfast/diner package included. The rooms are nice and clean, they make great cocktails and the food was really nice. A special thanks to the staff of the bar/restaurant who were really thoughtful and kind.

We had an amazing stay at voco Edinburgh! The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options 🍳🥐(shows in lots of pictures), and the room was perfect—clean, spacious, and super comfortable 🛏️👌. The atmosphere of the hotel was great, and the staff were friendly and welcoming 😊. They even helped me get some amazon packages delivered📦. Definitely recommend it for a cozy and relaxing stay in Edinburgh! 🌟 #Edinburgh #GreatStay #HotelReview

We attempted to check in and queried the package offered as part of our IHG Diamond Elite membership. We experienced a very poor response and were left abandoned waiting at reception for over 10 minutes while the member of staff went to the office. No one returned, I had to then find another person to help and they also retreated to their office. When someone did return I was told ‘this is what you’re getting’. I asked could I see someone else, he then also went to the office. He then came back and said his manager had cancelled our reservations. I asked to speak to this manager but was told he wasn’t available. Two of our group were in tears as we left the hotel and we had to find alternative accommodation at a cost of £621. Still waiting for a response from them as the telephone numbers given by the staff on site were number unobtainable. We had to use their text based complaints form instead. So disappointed and it’s ruined our stay in Edinburgh.

I loved the gush of fragrance every time I come in the hotel entrance and the staff in the restaurant are all nice, special mention to Gaurav, who has been friendly since the first day of our stay. The room is decent. The place is not too far from the centre as well. It was easy to get uber taxi to the hotel
