Weekend away
Very impressive looking hotel. Perfectly located for a stay in the city. Friendly staff. We were in a room that looked over a flat roof, we could also see into the bathroom of other rooms very clearly! The room and hall always had smells of onions and cooking, this enabled us to open the window. The hotel stated that the minibar is fully stocked but during our stay it was never filled. The tea and coffee wasn’t replenished on our second night. We couldn’t get into our room the second afternoon, a nice young lady from reception waited with us for maintenance to arrive to change the batteries on the door, this took a while. Eventually we were offered a free drink in the bar whilst we waited for the door to be fixed. In my opinion the hotel has all the glamour of a 5 star but it’s the little things that are missing.

W Edinburgh
W Hotel (St James Square) was a really well located hotel (close to loads of shops, bars and restaurants). Although being close to all the action, the hotel itself was calm, quiet and very clean. Lounge and Joao’s Place on the 11th Floor were fantastic. All staff we encountered during our stay were welcoming and professional. The King room had everything we needed for a two-night stay and was spacious, very clean and comfortable. We’ll be back and will definitely consider other W hotels in other cities first.
