    The design and amenities were impressive, especially the bar and library. The room was nice, with great air conditioning and lighting. The staff was friendly and attentive, although some issues like water splashing from the toilet were noted. The location was fantastic for exploring the old town area. I would stay again once they iron out their initial challenges.

    We had a fantastic time at the Edinburgh hotel we stayed at recently, super enjoyable location by the castle and Royal Mile, and the staff couldn't have been kinder, like Stephanie who was top-notch. The room was cozy and clean, with a bomb comfy bed and great air con. I wish the room was a tad bigger, but not a biggie overall, and the price seemed a bit high for us. Special thanks to the concierge for their help! 🌟

    During our visit to Edinburgh to explore the city's historical attractions, we stayed at a hotel near popular landmarks. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and our room with a balcony was perfect for my husband's birthday celebration. Although the breakfast service was a bit disorganized on our last morning, the overall experience was pleasant, with comfortable rooms and a quiet atmosphere for a good night's rest.

    Beautifully designed public spaces and bedrooms. Attentive and approachable staff. Stunning views of Edinburgh's old town. Can rival other 5-star hotels.

    Can't fault the property in any way.

    This luxurious hotel is a dream come true! We were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff upon arrival and escorted to an exclusive room with stunning decor. the restaurant served delicious meals with an extensive wine list which we enjoyed in the modern bar and lounge areas. the private facilities were a bonus, and the in-room breakfast was a delight. the location was perfect for exploring the city's iconic landmarks, and the service exceeded our expectations.

    We had a minor issue with noise levels from the nearby night club, but it didn't detract from the luxurious experience this hotel provided.

    Our stay at Virgin Hotels was truly unforgettable. The location was perfect, just a short walk from all the main attractions in the heart of old Edinburgh. The modern and new hotel ensured that everything was clean and sparkling. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our happiness and satisfaction throughout our stay. The complimentary cocktail hour and delicious breakfast were delightful touches that added to the overall experience. The room itself was spacious, quiet, and equipped with all the amenities we could ask for, including a luxurious rain shower and comfortable pillows. We also enjoyed the onsite dining options and the vibrant bar. The hotel's thoughtful touches, like the library and upstairs lounge, added to the cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Despite a minor inconvenience of noise due to nearby nightlife, our overall experience at Virgin Hotels was exceptional. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay in Edinburgh.

    The hotel exceeded our expectations with its luxurious facilities, including the exquisite restaurant and bar serving delectable cuisine and drinks. the in-room breakfast was exceptional, with fresh and local ingredients, and the room was equipped with exclusive amenities that made our stay incredibly comfortable and satisfying. the hotel's location was perfect, allowing us to walk to major attractions and travel easily using the train station.

    Our only minor issue was with the financial system, as we had to pay a deposit along with the room fee that took time to refund, causing some inconvenience. Despite this, the staff was friendly and attentive, providing us with exceptional service.

    The location of the hotel was great, right in the center of the city. We were close to everything, including theatre shows in the university area. It was convenient to walk to all the attractions and shops.

    The noise from the nearby nightclub was unbearable. It made it difficult to sleep and enjoy our stay.

    The hotel had a modern and stylish design, which I really liked. the bar area and library were great places to relax and enjoy a drink. the room, although a bit small, had good air conditioning and the lighting, especially around the mirror, was excellent. the location was perfect, right in the heart of the old town area, making it easy to explore the city.

    The check-in process was a mess. We were told our room was ready, only to find out it wasn't and had to wait for over an hour.
