The Spotlight on Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh

Comfort Meets Location in the Heart of Edinburgh

Modern and welcoming, Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh is a stylish city-centre hotel located at the base of Calton Hill and just five minutes from Princes Street. With a sleek design and locally-inspired décor, this hotel offers a relaxed yet polished vibe for music lovers visiting the city. Guests enjoy free WiFi, an on-site bar and restaurant, and complimentary access to the gym. Rooms are spacious and modern, featuring plush bedding, flat-screen TVs, and sleek bathrooms with walk-in showers and free toiletries.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 98 feet from Edinburgh Playhouse and steps from the Omni Centre, this hotel is a dream base for catching a live show. The 24-hour reception means no stress if you're out late, and the York Place Tram stop is just a five-minute walk, making transport easy even after the encore. With rooms designed to keep outside noise to a minimum, it’s a solid pick for winding down after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends seeking comfort and location
- Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list gig
- Couples making it a full weekend escape
- Fans who want a quieter space to recover post-show
- Budget-conscious music fans who want value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant, The Lantern Room, serves up local and international dishes from breakfast through dinner—perfect after a late night. While there's no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late, and you're just a short walk from plenty of late-night eateries around the Omni Centre. Breakfast is available the next morning, even if you’re not an early riser.

Nightlife Options

You’re well-placed for nightlife, with bars, clubs, and live music venues all within walking distance. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the relaxed on-site bar is a great spot to sip a local gin or whisky before heading out—or winding down.

What People Say

Guests regularly praise the hotel’s central location, clean and modern rooms, and friendly staff. Many say it’s perfect for events at Edinburgh Playhouse and love that it's close to public transport. The quiet atmosphere and comfortable beds get special shout-outs from concert-goers needing rest after a big night.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that while the hotel is well-located, rooms facing the street can get a bit of city noise—though most find it manageable. Others note the bar can get busy pre-show, so plan accordingly if you want a quiet drink.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, modern comforts, and easy access to Edinburgh's top venues, Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh is a reliable, stylish option for music lovers looking to stay close to the action.

Nice hotel but need to...

Liked: Great location for our specific trip. Hotel was clean and tidy and nicely decorated.
Disliked: Check in was very busy, not enough staff on and it would help if there was a separate concierge desk rather than the staff who were checking people in spending time providing such information as it slowed the check in process. Shower pressure disappointing. Breakfast was ok, selection standard but cooked food was like warm as best and not hot. You’re offered a small selection of items that can be ordered fresh but nobody came to ask if we’d like to order until we practically finished our breakfast so it’s pointless.

Disappointing

Disliked: I have stayed in this property before a few years ago. I was impressed by the renovations in the reception upon arrival. I paid a huge amount more money for this night stay as it was during the festival. When paying over £400 for a room I didn't expect to find a huge stain on the carpet and black mould round the shower tray - not very impressed

Superb

Liked: A very good, typical Scottish breakfast is served in a pleasantly retro-decorated space, with very friendly and helpful staff, especially Eliana, Bonita, and Ella.The room and bathroom are spacious and comfortable, with a small exception, which is unbecoming of a hotel of this caliber.The location is excellent, especially for those arriving by tram from the airport.
Disliked: The tiny bathroom sink wasn't befitting a hotel of this caliber.The receptionist at check-in spoke his native language very quickly, making it difficult for us to understand, despite our warnings to slow down.
