A Red Weather warning (danger to life) stopped us from travelling to W hotel for our special anniversary. Tried phoning hotel to explain and was told to contact Expedia. Tried contacting Expedia but unable to change or cancel booking! All our money lost! Every other organisation, theatre, train etc offered refund given the exceptional circumstances. Poor show from Expedia and W Hotel 😞

Lovely hotel fairy new so clean. On arrival we had 4 people ask us if we wished to have an arrival drink we said no 4x it was just a little much when trying to check in and felt overwhelming. We had someone take us to our room - again felt a little much I’m not into that! During our stay we felt there were maids coming into our room every couple of hours, topping up coffee, putting slippers out for us, giving more towels etc whilst this is fantastic they left behind there bags on occasion making me feel uneasy that people had been in our room when we popped out at every opportunity.

Lovely hotel, great service. Loved the room for me on my own but personally wouldn’t want to be sharing with someone else as the toilet and shower are in the room behind frosted glass. If you go to the toilet in the night a very bright night light comes on and takes a long time to go off lighting up the room.

Fantastic centrally located hotel in Edinburgh.

All round excellent hotel. Clean, comfortable room. We didn’t use the restaurant for our evening meal as the menu online wasn’t that helpful. One restaurant being Japanese and another Brazilian we were left wandering what the menu would be like, so opted to eat away from the hotel. Breakfast was excellent, and the options were quite abundant. Views were fantastic even on a very cold snowy day.
