Feedback about The Edinburgh Grand, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Edinburgh from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious and well-equipped apartments within this restored bank building, with some even boasting balconies and glimpses of Arthur's Seat. Its location next to St Andrew's Square and the tram stop makes exploring Edinburgh easy, and the in-room washer/dryer adds great convenience. Many appreciate the little kitchens, though a few have noted a lack of basic supplies provided considering the price. Don't miss the nearby rooftop drinks at the department store on level 6.
