    The spacious double room was fantastic! It had air conditioning, which was a relief after a long day exploring. The private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer was great too.

    The only downside was that the private bathroom only had a bath. As vegetarians and vegans, we prefer a quick shower instead.

    During my recent transit through Edinburgh, I had the pleasure of staying at W Edinburgh. One of the best features of this hotel is its proximity to the nearest airport, which is just a short 10-minute drive away. This made it incredibly convenient for me to catch my early morning flight without any hassle. the hotel is located just a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley, making it easy for me to explore the city in my limited time.

    Upon arrival, I noticed that there was a lack of a toilet brush and a garbage bin in the bathroom.

    Loved the cleanliness and the amazing shower. The gym was top-notch and the rooms were pretty comfy. , the hotel's location was perfect, right next to a shopping mall and a short distance from the city center.

    Sorry to say, but the downsides were pretty overwhelming. The corridors smelled like fresh carpet glue, which wasn't pleasant.

    My stay at W in was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and accommodating. They took our bags to the room and even offered a tour. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the castle thanks to our upgrade. The hotel design was modern and stylish, and everything felt brand new. The breakfast was outstanding, with delicious food that looked as good as it tasted. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back.

    Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes. 💯

    Staying at the hotel was like having your own personal climate control system - the air conditioning in the spacious double room was so refreshing, I felt like I was in my own little weather bubble!

    Limited dining facilities.

    I stayed at W for a weekend getaway and loved it. The location is perfect, with direct access to a shopping mall. The breakfast had a wide variety of options and was delicious, especially the fruit salad. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering to take our bags to the room and even closing the curtains and preparing the bed for us at night. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for the great view from the balcony room.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.
