great location, super walkable to majority of the tourist attractions. very accommodating staff. modern renovations of the rooms felt intentional, cozy, and still stylish
I was able to leave my luggage before and after checkout and that was very convenient since I arrived in town about 4 hours before checkout. I was also able to check in early and the staff was very helpful and polite. My room was cleaned daily and the staff was helpful. The view was amazing and the location was very walkable to everything I Wanted to do in the city as well as the bus/train stations.

Super location visited this twice before will definitely book there again
Excellent breakfast, the rooms are comfortable, clean and warm. All of the staff were extremely polite and very helpful. The location can not be bettered.
Amazing location right on Prince st and close to bars and restaurants in new town. Only 10 min walk to old town with buses and tram right on your door step. Room was lovely and super clean. Couldn’t ask for better location
We loved our stay here at the Mount Royal. It’s at a very centralized location, with great views of the Scott Monument and Edinburgh Castle. Our room was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Will be staying here again on our next trip to Edinburgh
