Having quite frequently stayed in Macdonald hotels across the UK, we booked the Roxburghe in complete confidence, despite questionable information from friends and family. I'm sad to report that things were worse than anyone expected. 1) Apparent lack of honesty - having confirmed that a late arrival would be no problem, we were relocated to another hotel (incidentally, much nicer,... more

Stayed here three separate times during our trip to Scotland last month. Certainly a nice place with attentive staff (although the front desk clerks seemed undertrained). Rooms were clean and well appointed. Didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment. The rates during the week were fairly reasonable but exorbitant on the weekend. Also very disappointed with the pay-as-you-go WiFi,... more

We were amazed at how conveniently located this hotel is to the major sights in Edinburgh and also to the bus service route from Edinburgh airport "airlink". We were also surprised and pleased by the quality of customer service. The concierge staff were excellent and looked after our every need expediously. The quality of furnishings and choice of decor in... more

Stayed here for the Edinburgh marathon. Good location for start etc. Decent quality hotel with a ok but expensive bar.

We were told that our room was ready and we could check in and have our room immediately! Fantastic! As had travelled on an early morning flight with... more

We had requested a quiet room so no trouble with excess noise. The pool/facilities were functional rather than luxurious &... more

Stayed over the bank holiday weekend at the end of August. Having read other reviews on TripAdvisor I requested a quiet room - full marks to the Roxburghe for actioning this as we were allocated a room looking into the central quadrant of the hotel so there were no external noise issues - the one issue though was that our... more

The hotel is clean and the bed is comfortable if you can sleep long enough. George Street can be noisy even on a week night. I had to use ear plugs because of the noisy people shouting obcenities at each other 'til 3 am! more
