Hotel Royal Over-Seas League (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

You’ll enjoy the Royal Over-Seas League’s proximity to many major destinations and sights. Guests enjoy walking everywhere and seeing more of the city by foot.

Multiple guests report back on the warm welcome they receive at reception. Whether guests are checking in or out, the staff members at reception are courteous, friendly and exceptionally helpful.

Many guests say that their expectations for breakfast were more than exceeded. They were pleasantly surprised by the table service and fresh, local options. Afternoon tea, while not included, is also mentioned as a particular favourite.

Guests recommend booking a room near the back of the hotel if you’re particularly sensitive to noise. Other guests maintain that the trade-off is worth it for the significantly louder, street-facing rooms with their gorgeous view of Edinburgh Castle.

With no air conditioner, rooms may get quite hot when Edinburgh experiences a heat wave. Some guests mention that rooms also tend to become stuffy and dry at night. The old-fashioned windows are hard to open and don’t provide enough relief from high temperatures.

Guest with early morning tours booked have said that breakfast is served too late to accommodate their prior arrangements. They can’t recommend the included breakfast because they were never able to try it.
