Very nice hotel - staff very good. Room nice and excellent breakfast. Too hot in bedrooms - aircon unable to go below 19c quick is too hot for a comfortable night’s sleep. This will need to be remedied.

Great location for sights and tourism. Brand new hotel so great condition. Trendy decor and nice rooms. Very close to Waverley mainline station. Quality staff. Was great value for money at the price I got from Expedia, as was quoted considerably more elsewhere. Excellent table service/menu breakfast, but not great if you're in a hurry. But if on a weekend type break, enjoy! Limited charging and desk space if on a busy business break. But if there for tourism or personal visit then great value if you can get a good price.

Great location. Stylish hotel, with well appointed rooms. Good in-room facilities although the room I was in (fabulous King with view) was rather compact

W is for Woeful
Well W is not for wonderful that is for sure This hotel is woefully short on all fronts, the room was lovely but we had no form of heating as the controls where broken, the sheets where not changed in 3 days - the service crew just turned them over thinking the marks would not be noticed The W Bar has zero service - took 30 mins and 2 attempts to get a bottle of wine and an hour for food Tried to eat at the sushi restaurant but it was such an effort we walked out Room service was a nonsense Much better options in Edinburgh- I won’t stay here again

Book the Balmoral, and go to W Hotel for drinks
Paid for a five-star experience - did not receive it. Hotel is understaffed, has billing issues (they're overcharging everyone), and has clearly opened without being ready. The studio suite rooms are nice though, and Joao's bar has an amazingly good bartender.
