Excellent spacious room, great location

10.05.2025 Sanasar

From a hotel of this level and price you expect more for breakfast. At least delicious coffee :) and a cup for toothbrushes in the bathroom would not hurt either.
By the way, about coffee - if you come at 8 am or later, then while you wait for the waiter with coffee you can sit - what prevents the hotel from installing a coffee machine so that I can serve myself is a mystery.
The location is excellent, everything is within walking distance.
The room is large, the height of the ceilings causes a wow effect :) the bed is beyond praise.
There is a gym, a swimming pool, a spa and even a yoga mat and scales in the room - I did not use any of the above :))
They ask for a deposit of 150 pounds upon check-in. You would think that they have crooks living here and I will run away without paying.
In general, considering the price, I would think twice - maybe there is cheaper nearby, but not much worse.
The restaurant across the road Kyole is simply brilliant! I recommend 👍 and a little further, but also a minute's walk away, a good shop of kilts and traditional clothes, not a souvenir shop like on the Royal Mile.
We went to the airport by bus number 100, very convenient, the bus stop is two minutes from the entrance to the hotel, the stop at the airport is right opposite the entrance, the price for two with luggage is 11 pounds, inside there is a place to put bags. We got there in 30 minutes. Everything is convenient and fast.

I booked 2 nights in total. The hotel arranged a room closest to the road. Trams, police cars, and motorcycles kept coming and going at night. I couldn't sleep all night. I communicated with the hotel but they said there were no rooms available (the platform clearly showed that there were 4 rooms available) and they refused to change the room. Their attitude was terrible! I contacted Ctrip and asked to cancel the reservation for the second night. Ctrip said they also got the room through another agent. I didn't communicate with the hotel directly and they didn't let me check out. I couldn't sleep again on the second night. Oh! I will never book a foreign hotel on Ctrip again.

Excellent location, next to Edinburgh Castle. It is a very old hotel with good facilities, a small swimming pool and sauna. A family of three checked in and the front desk gave us a family room with a separate small bed. The view outside the window is also good. There is a bathtub and capsule coffee. There is TESCO downstairs, which is very convenient for shopping. Such a good room, buy some beer and drink it in the room, it's really not too good ☺️ The breakfast on the first floor is very good 35 pounds per person. The main meal must be told to the waiter separately, which is included in the 35 pounds. This hotel has hosted members of the British royal family. There are photos in the restaurant on the first floor.
It takes 15 minutes to walk to Cardington Hill. You can see Edinburgh Castle all the way. The surrounding core scenic spots are 15 minutes walk, which is great!

A very satisfactory stay experience 👍👍👍

The room is very beautiful. You can see the castle when you book the castle room. It is also very convenient to travel. The airport can be reached directly by bus or tram. The swimming pool and sauna are free. It is only a few steps to go to other places.

21.02.2025 Guest

Best hotel in Edinburgh, really good location, you have every good place nearby.
You also have sone great views of the castle.
Workers are awesome, shout out to Mark and Linda! Wonderful people.

10.01.2025 Auuudreyyy

There's a castle in front of the window, it's amazing. I love Scotland and I hate England, depression, depression, depression, depression, I spent a wonderful weekend in Scotland~~~~~

02.04.2024 Siluowenniyayuanshu

The price-performance ratio is not bad, but it is a bit old, but the service is top-notch! When those Edinburgh voco hotels are selling for 1700, I will not hesitate to spend 2100 to stay at the Waldorf Astoria. What kind of bicycle do you need for 2100? This is the Waldorf Astoria hahaha

16.03.2024 Sherryhan

To be honest, I was so angry this time. The room I booked was completely inconsistent with the room I was given. I changed the room twice. There were problems with the room. Either there was no hot water in the room or there was a problem with the faucet. The floor was very dirty and greased. This time I came to Waldorf Astoria. I am really dissatisfied and I can only be speechless with their front desk staff.

Well. What one can say about this joint :) We all know the deal. Location is its strong point. Fadt food here is fast so thats what we come here for. This is what we get :) enjoy.

29.12.2017 Prakash

Menu Ordering is really fast as there are lot of ordering touch screen with all menu which is really nice. With in 10 minutes we can get ordered items even if it is crowded in waiting area.

Plenty of room to seat in different floor s. Staffs are helpful and place is always clean and neat.

20.12.2017 Fraser

Went for breakfast. Staff were unwelcoming and just generally sweaty. McDonald's menu for breakfast succeeds in dashing your expectations of being well fed for the first meal of the day. Had a bacon roll. Which was really a skimpy baguette with lots of ketchup and One...yes ONE cutting of bacon that was 70% fat and grisle. McDonald's food is not worth the money. Food was cooked to sub par standard. Only upside to this visit was having a wireless charger on my table for the phone. But that doesn't satisfy my hunger.

10.12.2017 Kevin

Worst McDonald's experience for a long time. Only ordered 3 coffees and a Chicken Mayo and it took forever. Chicken Mayo was cold and one of the Spiced Cookie Lattes was definitely not right so by the time this was sorted it was 15 minutes after we ordered! Not what you expect of McDonald's.

A wonderful, stylish place. Wonderful, friendly waitresses and bar staff. I just stopped in on the Street on a friend's recommendation. He rated the food highly. Even though I just had coffee, I'm looking forward to eating here again on my next visit.

14.07.2021 Ben

Came here and had a wonderful time a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, there was a small issue with a few people being a bit too drunk, and the staff was on hand in a heartbeat, ensuring we were okay while actively trying to move our table and then, ultimately, getting rid of the drunk girls. One of the managers, Sam, went above and beyond for us, and has since been there to accommodate our every need. Thank you so much, we really appreciate it!

05.06.2021 nicholas

Excellent customer service and delicious food. We went with friends for lunch and were very impressed with how the general manager responded to our feedback. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere and music were great. I recommend and will be back.

21.05.2021 Stephen

Hannah (the server) and Chris (the bartender) were absolute legends tonight. Hannah was the perfect server, giving us time to stop and think about what we wanted before starting a conversation and realizing we had food reservations elsewhere. Chris was superb; knowledgeable about his drinks and provided two perfect Highland Park Old Fashioneds. It was a pleasure to be back, and the customer service from Tiger Lily did not disappoint.

24.04.2018 Emily

There for a leaving do and it was great. Good crowd, lovely atmosphere and great area set aside for us. Liked it so much I've booked our team Christmas do there this year!
