I stayed in Mercure Edinburgh City hotel in May, while i was in Edinburgh for business and except the location being on princes street, there was not much good to add. even the location is not great if you have heavy luggage. the street is closed to traffic for road works and you have to wheel your luggage a bit....

I came for morning coffee with 3 friends a few weeks ago.It was the first time I had been in the hotel for years. We went to the coffee area and collected 2 cafetieres of coffee which the person had already plunged. The coffee tasted like dishwater. We also bought a danish pastry each which was anything but fresh so... More

Check in was delivered by a surly woman, who initially refused to acknowledge us and only responded to my third cheerfull "hello". With a glum and slightly distant air we had our keys and left. The room (668) was of moderate size with decor that needed a lick of paint, scruffy and scraped walls and woodwork are not a good... More

The hotel has a great location to restaurants and shopping, but the best part is the castle view! It is fantastic and if you are lucky you will get a castle view from your room. I stayed in 772 which is a single room with a shared balcony overlooking Princess St and the castle. Rooms were updated and nice but... More

My husband and I stayed here on May 7th for one night. And then again on the 11th - 13th, but I'll write a separate review for that. We stayed in a standard double room, with Castle view room 469. The room was adequate for what we needed. Bed was comfy and the breakfast was good. All the staff we... More

If you like to stay at a charming and cosy hotel, don´t choose this. This hotel is best if you want to stay close to everything, and... More

Stayed in for 4 nights on a pure pleasure trip. Room spacious and clean, (5. floor) and staff extremely nice and helpful. Perfect location, with walking distance to all main attractions, and a stunning view of the park and Old town. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel, as we found everything to be as expected, or better!

I was here for 2 nights on business. I've only given 3 stars because I was visiting on business and so was in the smallest room. I usually go for something more upgraded so although the room I had was nice and quiet it didn't have air conditioning, or a fan in the bathroom so it was very hot all... More
