Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge

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.

Modern fun hotel,well situated just off the obvious . very friendly helpful staff, perfect without and stress

Had a great stay over the Easter weekend. Hotel staff were great and we were even lucky enough to have nice weather so we could utilise the terrace and bar on the top floor at watch the sun set, beautiful!

A family of 4, we booked two rooms and spent a great weekend in Edinburgh. Breakfast was great, available from 6am to 10. The bars amd service were great and the rooms clean and new.

Overall, a fantastic property. Service, staff and room was 5 star. If ever I'm back, I will definitely stay.

Very nice, convenient hotel. 👌

Very polite and welcoming staff

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.

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.

Great!

Nice hotel, ideal location. Would stay here again.

ok for a short trip

Loved the breakfast

Clean and comfortable, convenient location. Breakfast was very busy every morning with not a huge amount of space considering the number of guests. The fitness centre is poor, with only one treadmill, bike and cross trainer.

Ok

It was a great stay, the hotel really cool and vibe, the room very comfortable.

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.

Nice hotel but needs improvement with things like room bar option, toiley slipper.

The Moxy is no frills but that’s reflected in the price. The most important thing is that it is clean which is why I don’t mind booking here. This was my third stay and I’ll be returning for my fourth stay next week. I do wish there was a mini fridge in the room as I tend to have longer stints and would like to keep some food/drinks on hand. Even renting one for a small additional fee would still make this a solid value stay. The area is about a 20 min walk from Princes Street but there’s enough around that you can grab anything you need weighing 5-10 minutes.

Fantastic hotel
