Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West

Modern Comfort Near the Music Scene in Edinburgh

Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West offers a sleek, contemporary stay nestled just outside the bustle of the city. Located near Heriot-Watt University and only a short drive from major concert venues like BT Murrayfield Stadium and Edinburgh Zoo, this hotel is a great base for music lovers visiting the Scottish capital. With spacious rooms, free WiFi, and an inviting on-site restaurant, it strikes the perfect balance between convenience and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a standout—just 4.5 miles from BT Murrayfield Stadium and around 15 minutes from the city centre by car or taxi. Post-show wind-down is easy here with a quiet setting away from the city's late-night noise. Flexible check-in at 15:00 and a generous 12:00 check-out give you time to rest after a big night. With 24-hour front desk service and quick access to Edinburgh Airport (just 4.1 miles away), getting in and out is stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a gig and needing space to relax together
• Solo travelers catching a dream concert
• Couples making a weekend of it with comfort and quiet
• Fans who want a peaceful recovery after a loud night
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and quality

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant, The Avenue, offers all-day dining—perfect for a pre-show bite or post-show refuel. While there’s no mention of 24/7 room service, the restaurant's flexible hours mean you're unlikely to go hungry after a late night. Tea and coffee facilities in every room add a nice touch for morning-after recovery. Breakfast is also available, ideal for those rolling out of bed before check-out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or a bar scene, you’re a short ride from Edinburgh’s vibrant nightlife. Whether you head into the city for a pub crawl or relax at a nearby lounge, there are plenty of options to extend the evening.

What People Say

Guests love the modern, clean rooms and often mention the peaceful location as a major plus, especially after a busy night downtown. The friendly staff and easy parking also get high marks. Many reviewers appreciate the hotel’s proximity to the airport and major roads, making it a convenient choice for travelers with tight schedules.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is slightly removed from central Edinburgh, so expect to use taxis or public transport for concerts in the city centre. If you're looking for an energetic, walkable nightlife scene right outside your door, this may not be the spot.

The Bottom Line

A peaceful, modern retreat close to major venues—Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West delivers comfort, convenience, and quiet for concert-goers who want the best of both worlds.
