This is very special location in Edinburgh. Hotel itself is lovely with large rooms and high ceilings. The only concern is that there are some rooms located in the lower level (basement), we were lucky that our request to change the room to upper floor was met by the manager and we had a lovely view of the back gardens. Apparently it's recommended to request that the room will not be in the basement but I was told that it is not guarantied.

A very cold room and quite nosy ( pipes, water). It's ok for a couple of nights but not very comfy overall. Good location and staff are friendly. It could do with more attention to detail. It was a bit disappointing.

The hotel staff were excellent, warm and welcoming. Our room was a standard double , and catered for everything we needed and potentially what we may need during our stay. Our room faced the garden so was nice and quiet , though I will say if you faced the street , it would have been the same experience as the hotel is on a quiet street. It is centrally located , and only a few minutes walk to Princess Street , restaurants , bars and shops and some of the sights Edinburgh has to offer. The quality of the cooked breakfast was top notch and plenty of alternative options if you wished a “healthier” or “lighter” option to start your day. Check out was not to 12 midday, providing you with a much more relaxed morning before you leave. If we come back to Edinburgh , Voco Hotel is definitely high on my list to return. Thankyou all for a very pleasant stay and excellent service. Hotel Voco , you have a great team of staff who take immense pride in their jobs , and so be very proud of them too !

Lovely spot. Friendly staff. Just need better lighting in the room. Dark in the day. I get it-can’t put ceiling lights on high ceiling, but put a lamp next to the wall in the middle of the room !
