A decent stay at Voco!
Older style hotel that Volvo have down up to a decent standard. Lobby area and bar fantastic. Rooms are okay, beds are rather small and bathrooms haven’t been refurbished so they are looking tired. Good breakfast offering, very bad coffee machines… these need changing! Service overall from Voco team was welcoming and warm.

Lovely stay
Lovely hotel, quiet and staff friendly. Room was spacious and bed very comfortable. Breakfast buffet lovely, hot and cold breakfast available plus cook to order menu very good value would recommend adding to your booking. Bear Leith Walk - great for independent cafes and restaurants and bars.

Great valentines weekend at the Voco
Voco by IHG was a fantastic stay. The hotel was very nice and the staff were all friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was perfectly fine. The hotel breakfast was of course Scottish inspired but with other options as well.

Staff were excellent when an issue was identified with our original room and moved us to another. Everything was clean, tidy, organised, and the staff themselves were lovely each day.

The manager and receptionist were very forthcoming in finding us a room with natural ventilation and generously accommodated us in a quiet room at the rear.

Great place to stay
It was great experience, the staff were very helpful and helped us celebrate our anniversary in style. The location is fantastic if you want to explore Edinburgh as it's near trams and bus stops. The hotel is also very quiet as it is off the main road. Street parking can be difficult so it would be better to arrive via public transport

We stayed in a standard double room and in spite of being below pavement level it was spacious. Very comfortable bed although could have done with a slightly bigger one as only a double. Friendly staff and nice bar area. Expresso machine in our room as well as bathrobes which was a nice touch.

Not what we expected ….
We were in Room 9 which looked very worn, and not the cleanest. Extractor Fan in bathroom hasn’t been cleaned for a very long time, grout was starting to mould and bath requires replacing. Shaving Mirror also had rust. No bedside table between beds (only outside of beds), no power socket near mirror for wife to straighten her hair. USB sockets next to bed didn’t work either. Sad to say but don’t think I would stay here again. Only positive is the hotel is in a great location for the city centre

We had a lovely stay in the premium King room. The location was the perfect distance for us to walk about and see the city. We had a brief safety concern when first arriving at our room, which was quickly resolved by the staff who were very understanding and kind.
