Very warm welcoming experience from the moment we walked through the door untill the end of our stay. All the staff very warm, friendly and helpfull , from the front of house staff to house keeping. Perfect location in the center of the city. would definitely stay again and recommend to all.

As soon as we arrived we were very well taken care of, from the valet parking to the reception. Once registered we received a room upgrade which was unexpected but a very nice gesture and made our stay that little bit more special.

Beautiful elegant hotel with a gorgeous castle view that is worth the extra money. Excellent breakfast.

The breakfast was excellent. From the moment I checked-in until i checked-out the staff was friendly and helpful. My room was clean and fresh towels were available daily. The concierge helped me locate my tour locations and get to them on time.

The spacious rooms, bathrooms and overall facility was a wonderful surprise. Everything was clean and well presented. The breakfast buffet was expansive and delicious.

Breakfast was amazing - great atmosphere, lots of options to choose from, exceptional server with a friendly attitude! Doormen were fun and friendly with quick wit. The concierge booked us a table at a perfect local place (Teuchters). Guest services provided a very nice birthday treat upon arrival.

My husband and I loved the location of this hotel. It was central to everything and we were able to walk to most places in the city. The hotel itself is lovely and majestic. The staff were warm and friendly and very accommodating.

Excellent hotel. If within your budget opt for a castle view high floor June on reception was very professional. Clair at the gym area was quite rude. Breakfast was really good

If you are looking for good location, friendly staff, nice room and atmosphere, this is the hotel that you should book!!! All the staff were exceptional friendly, always smiling and trying to help all guests. Special thanks to Mrs. Catherine, she made our stay awesome from checking in until leaving the hotel. She was always asking us if we need anything! She is gorgeous !! Definitely, will come back to the hotel when I am back to Edinburgh.

Historically classic property in a fantastic central location in Edinburgh.
