Pleasant
Location , some of the staff were very friendly.
I had issue with my personal towels the collected them with the hotel towels( one is baby towel with hoodie other was white big towel with tag on the side) . I asked the same day as soon as i came back to the room to look for my towels , the housekeeping was not available. The second day no body came to clean and i reminded them about the cleaning and my towels around 1 pm also no response. Last day when I was checking out i asked about the towels they told me they didn’t find it .

Hotel is perfectly located close to the Edinburgh University in the city centre. Rooms are spacious and include kitchen annex that is very well equipped. Bed was very compfortable. Staff members were friendly and helpful.
The network of Marriott Hotels is renown of high standards and quality.
Yet, the management of the hotel (please do not confuse with the staff) decided to make savings on catering at the expense of the guests. Namely, there was a widespread renovation of the ground floor, that including painting, plastering, etc.
Apart from the smell of paint, lound noises of drills, etc. there was only very limited number of tables and guests were requested to to take food upstairs (i.e. to their rooms). There was also a contant shortage of cutlery (forks, spoons, etc.) and the number of staff members dedicated to breakfast services was very limited. The choice of food was very limited and often replacements (e.g scrambled eggs, cheese) did not arrive on time and in the continuous fashion. To be honest, avarage breakfast in a two-star hotel in Poland would beat available food quality during my stay by several lengths.
In earlier this spring I spent couple of days in the Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh, where the food was fabulous, so I was surprise that Marriott was so below this standard.
In summary, I appreciate that hotel management may be forced to do make necessary renovations at SOME POINT, yet in such circumstances they should at least:
1. Inform the guests about these inconveniences prior to arrival by phone or mail (there is always a poosiblity to change the hotel);
2. Offer discount for substandard breakfast services and/or book proper catering, e.g. in some building or cafe close to the hotel, where adequate standards can be provide.

The staff was very helpful. The rooms were very comfortable. The front desk answered every question we had, booked taxis for us, and in general took excellent care of us. Breakfast was included and was quite a good assortment even though there was some remodeling that made it necessary to bring food back to your room. I would stay here again.

Poor
Location and bedrooms
Lack of facilities and cramped public areas due to re turn work which I wasn’t told about until after I had booked.
I had 10 rooms and asked if there was anything the hotel could offer to off set some of the lack of amenity to be told I could use the gym in the sister hotel!
Would not even provide offer of free parking when I proposed that.
No bar facilities or restaurant and Breakfast ‘on the go’ which some of my guests avoided, including myself.
I was left embarrassed as it was too late to change after I was told about the refurb works….hotel shouldn’t have been open during the refurb, or price reduction/compensation offered. Poor.

Location
Under complete refurbishment - no reception only staff entrance with a makeshift desk . No water in the morning , breakfast collect and take to room - nowhere to sit and eat , and no apology or notice to advise so an alternative location could be chosen . Shockingly bad and over £200 !!!

Disappointing
Staff were lovely!
Comfy bed!
Good sleep.
Good having a wee sitting room.
Refurb going on.
No bar available.
Breakfast to go due to refurbishment.
Breakfast chaotic!
Tiny set up for many guests including large families! Awkward to get your food!
No cups for hot drinks
No juice glasses.
No spoons to eat porridge with.
Room tired....
lamp stained!
Table all blistered and tired!
Requested an early book in but told no.... had to pay for upgrade if a room was available!
A room was available but no extra payment required.
Very pricy for a mediocre experience. I expected so much more!
I feel the prices should be reduced during refurbishment due to lack of services and rooms available tired and dated.
Also I do think 4pm check in is a bit late and not very flexible!
And really annoyingly when going down to collect our breakfast at 9a.m. the cleaning cart was sitting right outside our room! We still had 2 hours until we checked out!
Here's your hat Where's your hurry!
This was a trip planned for an event for a 60th birthday and was dissapointing.
Especially as the marriot chain are still selling this as a premium establishment... I don't really feel it lived up to the marriot name.
Was so dissapointed!..
Thank you for your information!
