I had a pretty good time staying at the Residence Inn By Marriott Edinburgh. The location is definitely a plus, as it's super close to major attractions like the National Museum and Greyfriar's Bobby, plus it's in a quiet area. The room was spacious and had a kitchenette, which was handy. However, the breakfast experience could've been better; there were some issues with seating and food availability that made it a bit frustrating.

The room was spacious and equipped with a handy kitchenette that I appreciated.

Overall, I would recommend it for the location and the staff, but I wish the comfort level was better.
