The hype
Travelers love the energetic staff and rooftop views but are divided on the 'dorm-room' style minimalism.

Запазете го, ако You want a playful, social base near the castle where the check-in desk is also a bar.
Защо хората я обичат
- Lochrin Rooftop Bar offers rare castle views without the Old Town crowds
- Vibrant, communal lobby with foosball and deep sofas that actually encourages hanging out
- Modern, industrial-chic design that feels like a high-end adult hostel (in a good way)
Бързо резюме: A fun, loud, and visually loud hotel that prioritizes social vibes over quiet nights and closet space.
Преглеждано от @scotland_sidebyside_: I had the best time exploring Edinburgh with my dachshunds! Staying at the Moxy made it so easy—they were treated like VIPs. We even took them on a boat trip to Inchcolm Abbey and the open-top bus. It felt amazing not to leave them behind.

Reality check
The 'fun' atmosphere means noise travels, and the breakfast buffet often runs out of items during peak times.
- You travel light and live out of your suitcase
- You enjoy working from a lively lobby with a cocktail in hand
- You want a modern gym and a rooftop bar onsite
Чистота и поддръжка
8.8
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent. Daily service is standard, though some guests report missed refills on coffee pods.
- Bathroom hygiene: High marks. Grout is usually sparkling, though the small size means steam builds up quickly.
- Maintenance: New property feel (opened ~2021), so peeling paint and broken fixtures are rare.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and fresh, though the towels can feel a bit thin compared to luxury brands.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of the signature Moxy pink perfume (sweet/floral); rooms are generally neutral and fresh.

Какво да пакувате

- Packing cubes (since you'll likely be living out of your suitcase)

Често задавани въпроси и скрити съвети
Всичко, което наистина трябва да знаеш, преди да резервираш.

No. The hotel has no garage. Guests often use 'YourParkingSpace' apps or nearby lots; ask the front desk for a discount validation (sometimes ~£12/night) at check-in.
Does the hotel serve breakfast?
Yes, a continental buffet for ~£16. Reviews suggest it's decent but can get chaotic and depleted by 9:30 AM.
Is it close to the Royal Mile?
It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the Grassmarket and Castle area. Not right on the Mile, but very walkable.

Is there a gym?
Yes, a small but modern 24-hour fitness center with pink punching bags and basic cardio gear.
Can I store my luggage?
Yes, there are free lockers for luggage storage if you arrive early or leave late.
