The W is fabulous in every way! The staff are friendly, helpful and professional and the room was amazing. We had a superior room with balcony and it was fabulous, very funky with the bar and two bar stools! The lounge was very comfortable and the view from the top deck was truly amazing. We will definitely return

AMAZING

From the second you walk into the hotel the staff are incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Nothing was an issue for anyone and check in/out was seamless. The hotel oozes class with the rooms all modern and the on site facilities are fantastic. There is a selection of different cuisines on offer from the hotel restaurants and the roof top is not to be missed. We can’t wait to come back and fully experience the away spa and will definitely stay for more than one night.

We booked two twin rooms for our family trip to Edinburgh (2 adults + 2 teenagers). We loved the location of the hotel - seemed close to everything we wanted to do. We liked that it was new and fun - in no way stuffy!

I felt like a movie star during my ten day stay! I absolutely LOVED that we were able to enter a 3 story mall, had at least 12-15 eating options within a minute or 2 walking distance. The staff, top to bottom was PERFECTION!! I will always stay here when I visit Edinburgh! It was the ICON of the city. Thank you for helping us celebrate our birthday with such beautiful letter and star treatment!

Fabulous stay

All that you could expect from a fairly new luxury hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Courteous and attentive staff, excellent room with balcony, well stocked bathroom amenities, and a delicious room service menu - highly recommend the club sandwich and the haggis bites. Breakfast was a final highlight before checkout. Will definitely stay again.
