I absolutely loved my stay here. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were really wonderful. I had been asked in advance if I was celebrating a special occasion and I explained that it was my Ruby wedding anniversary although I had been widowed for many years. When I checked in there was a beautiful bouquet of roses in my room with a card from the staff. This was such a lovely gesture and I really appreciated it.. I will definitely return here.

The W Edinburgh is well situated between the Old Town and New Town and very quiet considering its location. The staff was incredible and very accommodating with welcome drinks and bringing bags up to the room. The room itself is quite spacious, however, the only thing to note is the bathroom situation which is two separate rooms for the toilet and shower with frosted glass which is open to the room so everything can be heard. Other than that, for a couple of nights, the hotel is perfect and would recommend for couples given the bathroom set up.
