The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Edinburgh

Central Comfort Just Steps from Edinburgh’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Edinburgh is set in the heart of the city’s vibrant Quartermile district. Just a 10-minute walk from the iconic Royal Mile and 15 minutes from Edinburgh Castle, this all-suite hotel blends urban convenience with home-style comfort. With clean, contemporary décor and spacious rooms featuring kitchenettes, it’s a great base for music lovers exploring the capital.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the action here — major music venues are all walkable or a quick cab ride away. After a late show, the 24-hour front desk means no worries about returning late. And thanks to the hotel’s modern design and solid insulation, you’ll enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep even with the city buzzing outside. The 12:00 pm checkout is a welcome perk for those needing a slow morning after a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share a roomy space with a kitchenette
  • Solo travelers chasing a legendary live gig
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet, relaxed base post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate included breakfast and in-room amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast every morning — perfect for late risers after a night out. While there's no full-service restaurant, the on-site bar offers drinks and snacks, and the kitchenette in every room makes it easy to prepare something light. You’re also within walking distance of some of Edinburgh’s best eateries for a late-night bite.

Nightlife Options

Whether you're heading to a gig or looking to keep the night going, the Residence Inn is close to popular bars, pubs, and lounges. While it doesn’t host live music itself, its location puts you near the action — and when you're ready to wind down, the quiet surroundings and relaxed bar offer a more chill vibe with a drink in hand.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious, well-equipped rooms and praise the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviewers highlight the hotel’s excellent location for both sightseeing and attending events. Cleanliness, comfort, and the added convenience of kitchenettes make it a favorite among return visitors.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the bar is quite minimal with limited food options — but that’s not a big issue with so many great restaurants nearby. A few reviewers noted that the walk from the train station involves a slight uphill, so pack light if you can.

The Bottom Line

With its central location, spacious rooms, and thoughtful amenities, Residence Inn by Marriott Edinburgh is a top choice for concert-goers wanting both comfort and convenience.

Marriot mediocrity

Liked: Staff were lovely!Comfy bed!Good sleep.Good having a wee sitting room.
Disliked: Refurb going on.No bar available.Breakfast to go due to refurbishment.Breakfast chaotic!Tiny set up for many guests including large families! Awkward to get your food! No cups for hot drinksNo juice glasses.No spoons to eat porridge with.Room tired.... lamp stained! Table all blistered and tired!Requested an early book in but told no.... had to pay for upgrade if a room was available!A room was available but no extra payment required. Very pricy for a mediocre experience. I expected so much more!I feel the prices should be reduced during refurbishment due to lack of services and rooms available tired and dated.Also I do think 4pm check in is a bit late and not very flexible!And really annoyingly when going down to collect our breakfast at 9a.m. the cleaning cart was sitting right outside our room! We still had 2 hours until we checked out!Here's your hat Where's your hurry!This was a trip planned for an event for a 60th birthday and was dissapointing.Especially as the marriot chain are still selling this as a premium establishment... I don't really feel it lived up to the marriot name. Was so dissapointed!..

Superb

Liked: Very nice and spacious room for family of 3 persons with possibility to cook. Excellent location close to the old down and in proximity of nice park. Very easy to reach many historical places by walking.
Disliked: Renovation of breakfast room just started when we arrived. Had to pick-up the breakfast from smaller room and eat in your room - it was quite OK when you got used to it. Only one lift in the premises caused little bit occasional waiting time.

Poor - 0.5 out of 5

Very expensive hotel coupled with...

Liked: We picked this hotel due to it's close proximity to the start of the Edinburgh Marathon
Disliked: This is a very expensive hotel. £419 for one night. This doesn't include parking. I booked it approx 9 months before my stay. But I received an email a few weeks before my stay (when all other hotels in the proximity were fully booked) to say that there was renovation work happening and there would be no reception or lounge area in the hotel. Further that breakfast would be limited and you would need to take it on a tray back to your room.Despite this being a very expensive hotel there was no offer of discount for the inconvenience. In this event, the check-in process was chaotic with a tiny space with no space to move and staff who didn't care - worse they were condescending about the situation stating that they sent an email. As if sending an email two weeks before makes it okay. They should have discounted the stay given they were giving a lesser experience than what I paid for.Further, breakfast was a shambles. A tiny room with people attempting to fill trays to then take up to their rooms.This hotel is a disgrace and is not up to standard of other Marriott's.
