The staff here went above and beyond to give us a really relaxing weekend. Princess who worked the front desk was amazing, and so was her team. The spa facilities and the gym facilities were also exceptional and we really enjoyed them. We've traveled to Edinburgh several times, and this was definitely one of our favorite places to stay.

The location was absolutely amazing, staff is lovely and comfy bed, good coffee (Nespresso machine with tasty capsules) and nice spa.

the location is great , the staff are amazingly nice and helpful, breakfast was good too , the room size is good , clean , shower pressure was good , heater was good

Staff was friendly and helpful! Great breakfast in the morning!!

Magnificent view of the castle. Room was spacious. Staff was amazing, friendly and helpful. I had a very early flight to catch the next morning, and staff provided a nice "to go" breakfast with coffee. Also need to mention the spa. I had an amazing treatment there, and would give it a solid 10 rating!

comfortable, elegant,old hotel with very accommodating staff. The bar served excellent drinks although the service was slow. Excellent breakfast.

Large reception staff were all knowledgeable and pleasant! Great location and excellent accommodations. Great bar area to relax. Breakfast was a highlight of the entire stay!

Room and bed were very comfortable. Location is excellent. Reception and Concierge Staff were very friendly and very helpful.

Warm welcome and Malcolm and his team at concierge gave wonderful customer service

Beautiful hotel, great location, lovely pool, fantastically attentive staff
