Many enjoy the lively lobby bar and rooftop terrace, though the rooftop has sometimes been closed and the small gym draws mixed feedback. Rooms suit short stays but often lack wardrobes or fridges, and a few guests reported noise from beds or corridors. Expect a sociable base with streamlined amenities.

It's crucial to know what the Moxy is, and what it isn't. If you want a standard front-desk/concierge experience, with a lobby and porters, keep looking. If you want a dresser to store your clothes in, keep looking. If you want a room service menu and service, keep looking. If you want a bathtub, keep looking. If you want a mini-fridge or microwave in your room, keep looking. If you want a coffeemaker, keep looking. (There is a water cooker and instant coffee, however.) If you want a staffed restaurant, keep looking. If you want a pool, keep looking. However, if you want a hassle-free stay in a small, clean room with very little storage but also with a nice shower, plenty of linens, and super convenient for taxi, bus, walking, and Uber availability - this is a great choice. The staff are mostly what this Boomer would call kids. But these "kids" are efficient, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile. My stay was fantastic, and if I'm in the city again, I'll likely choose the Moxy.

The place is super clean and tidy. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Very close to POI like The Royal Mile. Easy access to buses. Downside is the parking. Tip for travellers checking in @ Moxy, drop your things off first to the hotel then go park at their designated car park. It’s about 10 mins walk.

Loved the moxy hotel. Location is walkable to old town and other areas. Easy transport to airport and train station. We arrived early snd were pleasantly surprised and grateful to be offered to check in early. We looked forward to getting back and relaxing downstairs. Food was great . A very huge selection for breakfast. Fun hotel with foosball and games. The rooftop bar is wonderful. We also used the gym facilities. I particularly enjoyed using the punching bag. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

Nice hotel but very disappointing room service Room serviced very late one day and not at all the next! Used towels and rubbish from room left outside door all night! Box of tissues empty for duration of stay Inadequate supply of toilet tissue,in fact ran out on one occasion When room was not serviced,we complained to front desk where then I was handed towels and toilet tissue which I had to bring back to the room myself! Very much a self service hotel,not what I would expect from a Marriott hotel!

The location is good for being in between Murrayfield and shopping area. Cleanliness is good and toiletries provided were nice. Shower pressure was poor. Rooms are too small. No storage for personal items. Its cheap small tables at bedside and a rail to hang clothes. Would be ok for one or two days but no more.

I was excited about this hotel, but it was a huge disappointment. It’s all style with little substance. The breakfast buffet was overcrowded every morning, with items missing daily—plates, cutlery, bread, milk, and juice. Saturday was a disaster, with people sitting all over the dining and reception areas. The single juice machine and two coffee machines caused constant queues, and the food, when stocked, was just okay. The water for tea was lukewarm on two mornings, which is unacceptable. The rooms look good in photos but are poorly designed. There’s no space to store clothes or luggage—just an open rail. The bathrooms are tiny and impractical, with no place to hang wet towels. Room turndown service was the worst we’ve encountered. One day, it wasn’t done by 3 pm, and we had to ask the receptionist to ensure it was done when we went out. The next day, the room still wasn’t ready by 4 pm, and we got a knock at 6 pm—way too late. This hotel is a titanic fail. It’s designed for style, not practicality, and simply isn’t equipped for the number of guests. Save yourself the frustration and book somewhere else.

Friendly and helpful young staff although they seemed short-staffed. Check-in is at the bar so they were busy with checking in guests and taking food and drinks orders. My room had a comfortable big bed, bathroom was clean and modern, the shower floor was quite slippery. Nice hair dryer available. I had a large suitcase and had to improvise with a footstool and a small folding luggage rack to open it. There were 4 clothes hangers but had I wanted more I'm sure they would have given me some had I asked. I mention these things because if you are looking for a closet and bureau to unpack your clothes there's none. However, the room was large and comfortable, it was quiet, Wi-Fi was easily accessible, television had a few channels but I wasn't there to watch TV. LED motion-activated lights came on under the bed. Breakfast was good with warm options, breads and sweet rolls, croissants, cold cuts and cheeses, jams, small pancakes and waffles, toppings, and coffee machines. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

We were in Edinburgh during a huge festival so the city was very crowded and I think the hotel was full. We paid a high premium fir our tiny little room. We stayed 11 days and service got worse and worse. I thought they were sadly understaffed. Most requests were handled at the bar/ reception and the wait for attention was always long.

Location
Walkable to the Old Town, Princes Street and tram links, making it easy to reach attractions and the airport. Several reviews also noted a generally quiet setting, though a few experienced nearby construction noise.

Cosy little room, clean and well equipped! Perfectly situated and everything is in walking distance from this hotel. Train, busses and tram are also just a short walk away if going out of town. Highly recommend.

Upon arriving, was greeted by really friendly staff. And all were accommodating and helpful throughout my four nights there. Definitely would stay again. And it’s a lovely, maybe 15-20 minute walk into Old Town. Perfect. Away from the bustle, but an easy walk when you want it.

Very comfortable accommodation. Convenient as we left our car at a local Park & Ride and took a bus into the city centre, with a stop just outside the hotel. Great location for walking around the city. We loved it.

Dining
Breakfast is often praised for variety, but multiple reviews mention overcrowding, queues and occasional shortages. Bar food in the lobby is popular, and the rooftop bar is well liked when open.

The accommodations were great. The restaurant was typical bar food and I would have preferred a more local menu but it was fine. The roof top restaurant was closed for remodeling so I have no input there. I would say the location was walking distance to the high points of the city. And the Coffee Cave across the street was awesome.

I was excited about this hotel, but it was a huge disappointment. It’s all style with little substance. The breakfast buffet was overcrowded every morning, with items missing daily—plates, cutlery, bread, milk, and juice. Saturday was a disaster, with people sitting all over the dining and reception areas. The single juice machine and two coffee machines caused constant queues, and the food, when stocked, was just okay. The water for tea was lukewarm on two mornings, which is unacceptable. The rooms look good in photos but are poorly designed. There’s no space to store clothes or luggage—just an open rail. The bathrooms are tiny and impractical, with no place to hang wet towels. Room turndown service was the worst we’ve encountered. One day, it wasn’t done by 3 pm, and we had to ask the receptionist to ensure it was done when we went out. The next day, the room still wasn’t ready by 4 pm, and we got a knock at 6 pm—way too late. This hotel is a titanic fail. It’s designed for style, not practicality, and simply isn’t equipped for the number of guests. Save yourself the frustration and book somewhere else.

On arrival we checked in, given card keys and told time for breakfast. No additional info re hotel or facilities. Arrived in room with a horrible view over wasteland. Quickly found out sink was blocking and reported this twice in order to get fixed. Surprised at only 1 bottle of water left in room when 2 adults were staying. When asked on our 2nd night for replacement water we were told only 1 bottle per stay! I expect when paying £520.01 for 2 nights surely additional water can be provided! But was told NO. Breakfast was just just about average. Multiple staff on duty but fail to clear tables, restock food and replenish plates and cutlery, really no excuse for this. On one occasion I asked a member of staff to replenish some hot food he was less than helpful and actually quite rude. Would not stay in this hotel again, gives the vibes of a budget hotel with higher price point which was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend at all.
