This is the dirtiest hotel i have ever stay at. There was significant mold in most of the walls in the bathroom. There was staining from water leaking in the main room. Even after changing rooms, the 2nd bathroom still had significant mold. The carpets were stained and dirty too.

So the only issue we had was that we had many spiderwebs in the corners of the room. Granted we didnt complain at the time because we just cleared it and took out the little spider as well. The breakfast was nice and hearty, just kind of wished there was other options some mornings. The classic bean and toast was amazing. But maybe a random new item besides the sausages , and variety of yogurts. But the staff was so calm and patient and helpful. All of them were such gentle souls. Kept the vibe beautiful. So thank you

Voco breakfast and location.

Breakfast was standard buffet style with alacarte optios. Pleanty of choice and good quality. There is off street parkinh but the hotel is so close to the traon station i would recommend gettingva train to waverly and then taxi or walk. The location is ideal for visitors looking to explore tge city or go yo the theatre and the view from the hotel iscamazing

I know Edinburgh is expensive, but at £260 a night, the level of cleanliness was poor, there was a light fitting hanging off the wall, the corridor in to the room past the tiny bathroom was like something out of a very cheap hotel. All in all, it felt more like a bottom end of the market room. Good location
