Hotel seems to have declined under new ownership. Extremely slow check in process, unhelpful staff, no mini bars in room to store your lunch, drinks or water. Very disappointing to see the hotel in decline.

We stayed here during the transition period from Mercure. The hotel was clean with nicely decorated rooms. We had a beautiful view of the castle. The central location is perfect for access to all of Edinburgh’s attractions. …

Mount Royal Hotel was made welcoming by Kimberly at reception. She made sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Edinburgh. The views from our rooms were out of a tourist guide... perfect. The rooms are beautifully appointed. Great stay.

Finally found it but hotel had changed its name without telling us! Nice room with castle view but was a warm room even in October and we didn’t put heating on! Could really do with having aircon, especially with the price they charge! …

We had stayed here once years ago and were very disappointed. Since we only needed one night and it was the only thing left that was reasonably priced, we decided to stay again. Well, this was a fabulous surprise.  …

The location is stellar. The hotel is alright. Craig was a delight and gave us the do's and dont's right at the the time of arrival. ||Rooms are decent, manage your expectations and you won't be disappointed. The breakfast spot has a great view of the park.
