Beautiful Hotel and extremely attentive staff
The hotel has a warm and friendly feel. Among the beauty and grandeur we felt valued and special. Special mention for the very helpful doorman who went out of his way to make us welcome. I didn't catch his name, but he was working on 14th February. Our room was immaculate and comfortable with plenty of space and well-equipped. Toiletries are lovely but I would have appreciated a vanity pack (I forgot my cotton buds) Peacock Alley is amazing! We will go back.

The Waldorf Astoria is WAY over priced (I am embarrassed to tell anyone what we paid). The whole hotel was run down, with hallways and rooms quite shabby. Thankfully the bed and location was good. I would recommend looking for a different hotel. Everything seemed close to the sites, so another hotel would be in walking distance. Waldorf not worth the prices they are asking.

Budget holiday inn level of quality
Tired and old hotel in need of refurbishment. Level of quality about the same as a cheap $95 holiday inn. Room service was via an app interface and they still called with questions about my simple order. Gym was large and well-equipped. Strongly advise to stay somewhere else in Edinburgh. Oh how the Waldorf brand has fallen…

Staff are excellent. Hotel location is great. The rooms are very small. The air conditioning was very loud. The shower leaked onto the bathroom floor.

Dear John,Thank you for taking the time to write us a review following your stay with us, we greatly value and appreciate your feedback.I am both saddened and concerned to learn that we failed to meet your expectations on this occasion, kindly accept my sincerest apologies.Due to the unique history of our building some rooms might be smaller than the others even if they are of the same type.Rest assured that our Engineering team has been made aware about the issue of the air conditioning in your room. I do hope that the shower leak has been reported when you stayed with us and the appropriate compensation has been given to you due to the inconveniences you have faced.I trust you have had a safe onward journey and I hope I can welcome you back again soon.Kind regards,
