Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Residence Inn's spacious and clean rooms, some even receiving upgrades. The well-equipped cooking facilities in the rooms are a definite plus for many, offering modern amenities. Situated in a tranquil yet central area, it's a short walk from the old town and close to Edinburgh University, though some find the walk from the train station a bit challenging. The breakfast receives positive mentions, even if a few guests felt it could use more space during peak hours.

inconsistent stay with a few issues

bathroom door holed towels
i found a couple of things that really bothered me. the bathroom door was tricky (reminded me of i might get stuck!). also, the towels had holes in them, which wasn't what i expect from a hotel like this. it gave the impression the place needed some serious upkeep.

fantastic stay!

spacious room clean space comfy beds complete amenities
The room was spacious and very clean. beds were comfy, i slept really well. the modern furniture gave it a chic vibe. I felt so relaxed! i enjoyed the complete set of amenities. Everything was so convenient.
I noticed a small stain on the ceiling of the room. It was minor, though it slightly detracted from the otherwise pristine appearance.

The room had more kitchen appliances than i expected. it was a nice surprise to see a large sink and a dishwasher. the breakfast included a good variety of choices. It was very tasty.
I noticed the tv was not working when i got to my room. when i called reception, they informed me that no one was available to fix it. i also found a dirty cotton bud in the shower. The room required more attention to detail.
