Booked over a month in advance as a Christmas getaway for my partner and I as well as it being as part of our anniversary. We booked a standard room as the photos looked beautiful of the rooms. However when we arrived we got given our room key and was told to head down the stairs to get to our room. We walked down the right dark stairs into the basement and walked through the small corridor until we arrived at our room door. When we opened it we came to find a TINY room with almost no room at either side of the bed. Now, we have never ever complained in our life but this 2 night stay cost us almost £400! And I’ve stayed in premier inns which are far better. So we went back up and explained to reception about the room. She was extremely nice however there was no standard rooms available for us to move into so we had to downgrade with not money back to a cosy room. As much as the cost room was FAR better than the original room it still didn’t compare to the ones shown in the images. We cut our losses here and stayed in the cosy room which was a fairy sweet comfortable room. My main reason for the review is that I DO NOT believe that the standard room that we received originally should have ever been given to us at that price. I would agree that it is okay to stay in at a greatly discounted price but it absolutely was not anything like the photos or worth the money.

Good Location
I have stayed in Edinburgh a few times, but this was my first at voco Edinburgh. The location is great, a short walk from Princes Street. The location also felt safe to walk back to at night. The rooms were clean and had everything you'd need. My only issue was noise - I could often hear people in other rooms and the cleaners were particularly noisy when in the rooms above. Other than that, we had a lovely stay and would come again.
