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

United States of AmericaBreakfast 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.
United States of AmericaMy 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.
United States of AmericaExcellent 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
ThailandIf 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.
