About Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West

Walking into a room at Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh West, guests find clean, modern spaces with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and free WiFi, along with family rooms and accessible options for those who need them. Across the hotel's five floors there are 160 rooms in total, served by a lift, with drinks available in-room and laundry service on hand for longer stays.

The hotel sits on a university campus, giving it a quiet setting away from the bustle of the city centre, and free on-site parking makes it an easy base for driving in and out. There's a restaurant and bar on site, with a wide breakfast spread each morning and kids' meals available, though some find the food fairly basic rather than adventurous. A snack bar and outdoor seating add flexibility, and meeting rooms and business services are available for those travelling for work.

Staff are friendly and helpful, and the surrounding area suits walking and cycling, with golf and fishing nearby for those wanting to get outdoors, plus pubs and restaurants within easy reach. The location works well for visiting Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Airport and the Pentland Hills, making it a practical choice for both business and leisure stays.

We had an amazing stay in courtyard Edinburgh west. Location is a bit outside the city but in a sprawling university campus which was quiet and picturesque. But the staffs are the best! Rooms were spacious and super clean. We tried the bar every night and also lunch at the restaurant. My salt and pepper squid was amazing and so was my sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely stay there again. Everyone was polite , friendly and welcoming. I had my eyes closed that they got our back and we are in good hands. Kitchen staff’s also do a great job. Second day I had vegan sandwiches which was delicious! Great job courtyard west! And thank you!

Located on the Herriot Watt Campus the hotel is set in a nice relaxed area, 2 mins walk to the sports campus which has fantastic facilities. The hotel is what you would expect of a Marriott hotel. The staff were excellent, from check in to the restaurant staff, I couldn't fault them, always friendly and helpful. The food on offer was good from breakfast through to evening meals. 10 minutes from Edinburgh Park station by car, it's a good base for exploring Edinburgh and surrounding areas.

Lovely hotel. My room was a decent size, not like one of those tiny cages, more like free range. Massive parking lot. I reached there in the middle of the night. The front desk manager Mohammed was just amazing. He was there temporarily from Manchester covering for someone who was on leave. Really friendly guy. The breakfast spread was very good. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The surrounding area was good for walks. It's right within the Heriot-Watt Uni campus. Totally worth it

I popped in after dropping my son at uni needing a place to work for a few hours and get a coffee. The guy on reception was really welcoming and offered me an area where I could sit and work for a bit and then went to grab me a coffee. Genuinely they could not have been nicer and made me feel really welcome. Well done to the team and a big thank you.
