I have an upcoming four-night stay here mid-next month. Any recent feedback on guest/Plat experience?

Agree, Sheraton for the lounge. However, the Glasshouse is nice and in a decent location for a lively visit so would happily pick it if the price was significantly less.

Just completed a three night stay here - I had been back and forth between here and the Courtyard and as my stay got closer, the price came down here and I ultimately switched. It was still more expensive than the Courtyard, having never stayed at the Courtyard I can’t really say if it was worth it or not but I did enjoy my stay. We arrived at Haymarket station from the Marriott Glasgow and walked - I think the best route is to go down Morrison street; google maps took us a slightly more northerly way and then we ended up going uphill through some alleys to finally get to the hotel. It’s probably a ten minute walk to the station.

I was traveling with my father and had booked a two bed room; we were upgraded to the Club floor but nothing beyond a regular room; we didn’t have any particular view. The fellow who checked us in was really warm and welcoming and gave us two free drink chits for the lobby bar. We only made it to the lounge for happy hour one evening and found the staff very eager to assist us. There were a few bottled beers available and typical lounge snacks. The breakfast was minimal, I typically popped in there for coffee in the morning while waiting for my father to get ready but we always had breakfast in the restaurant. A BrewDog pub is located right out in front of the hotel; we enjoyed the beers there one evening and there are many other restaurants and pubs nearby.

The restaurant breakfast was good and included a small selection of made to order items including poached eggs and avocado toast. the first day, breakfast was completely overrun with tour groups and it was a challenge to get the made to order food. The following two days were better.

The room was nice and quiet, I thought all the finishes were nice and everything was clean. No mention was made of Spa access and I had no time to investigate it due to a lot of sightseeing. Speaking of, my father and I both wished we had skipped Edinburgh Castle and we much preferred Stirling Castle, a short train ride away and much less crowded with more to see. I really enjoyed the HMY Brittania, it was my second visit and I still found it interesting.

i had laundry done at LeMe which is an immaculately clean shop down the road from the sheraton. £11.95 for a small load to be washed and folded same day. Very nice service. I liked the location of the Sheraton since it was near the train and many bus lines. I would stay here again on a future trip to Edinburgh.
