“Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge strikes me as a property trying too hard to be hip, yet its rooftop bar undeniably offers a unique vantage point over Edinburgh Castle. The design prioritizes a playful theme that might not suit every traveler, especially with some functional aspects overlooked. While the social atmosphere is a plus, I feel the execution could use some refinement to truly balance style and substance.”

spacious seatingvegetable currycomfortable bedfriendly staff

i found the reception, lounge, and bar area very spacious with ample seating. i enjoyed a sri lankan vegetable curry for dinner. it tasted excellent! the room was well appointed, and the bed was comfortable. the staff were friendly and helpful.

i noted one small detail, the bathroom had no hooks to hang a used towel. It seemed strange. storage overall was limited, with rebar-style mesh and hanging loops that wouldn't hold much.

the hotel offered a lively downstairs lounge. i found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. the room i stayed in was bigger than i expected it provided a good space to relax.

the room lacked drawers or a dresser for storing clothes i had to use the suitcase for storage. there were only four coat hangers available for hanging clothes i think they need at least a small dresser.
