About
Residence Inn By Marriott Edinburgh
Residence Inn By Marriott Edinburgh sits on Simpson Loan in the Quartermile development, a short walk from the city's central attractions. With 107 rooms, the hotel targets travellers who want more independence than a typical hotel offers: every unit includes a kitchenette, and the public spaces are designed for relaxed, self-sufficient stays.
The hotel's strengths, according to guests, are its cleanliness, the quality of the staff, and the practicality of the rooms. The location earns consistent praise for being both quiet and central, with Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the Grassmarket area all accessible on foot.
