6/10 Good

Disappointed in service.

The hotel is nice but the service is lacking. We went to celebrate a 40th birthday. The balloons and champagne were sent to a friends room instead of ours. Disappointing. We also booked a limo service through the hotel but was never sent a limo. They sent us a van instead. Very disappointing I’ve emailed the hotel multiple times now and haven’t got a response back. I won’t be staying here again due to their lack of communication and our negative experience with guests services.

Fabulous stay

All that you could expect from a fairly new luxury hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Courteous and attentive staff, excellent room with balcony, well stocked bathroom amenities, and a delicious room service menu - highly recommend the club sandwich and the haggis bites. Breakfast was a final highlight before checkout. Will definitely stay again.

I felt like a movie star during my ten day stay! I absolutely LOVED that we were able to enter a 3 story mall, had at least 12-15 eating options within a minute or 2 walking distance. The staff, top to bottom was PERFECTION!! I will always stay here when I visit Edinburgh! It was the ICON of the city. Thank you for helping us celebrate our birthday with such beautiful letter and star treatment!
