The Mount Royal is in a perfect location for exploring the city of Edinburgh. The staff were friendly and helpful. The twin room we booked was clean, quiet and spacious. We also had breakfast which was delicious with stunning views over Princess Street, it was also great value for money. We would definitely stay here again. 🙂

Perfect location, within walking distance to all the main areas we wanted to visit. Staff couldn't have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very nice, good variety, lovely view of the castle from the restaurant. Room comfy and very clean. In-room air conditioning which was easy to understand and use. Would definitely return, thank you!

Really nice updated rooms with a wonderful view of the castle, Scott monument and the university. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to store our luggage and gave us ideas of things to do in the area until we were able to check in. Had a drink in the lounge area which was cozy and beautiful views as well.

This was the nicest hotel we stayed in during our 2 week trip to Scotland. It was also the most expensive one. Although very expensive, it is located on Princes Street, and so was very convenient to catch the Tram to the airport.
