United KingdomGreeted very warmly, staff very attentive, room lovely and ready for us with plenty of space.
AustraliaFrom the minute we arrived at the hotel we were made to feel welcome! All the staff were lovely & really helpful. We arrived in Edinburgh 3 hours before check in and headed straight to Intercontinental to drop our bags off so we could go and explore. Despite being 3 hours early, we were given the key to our room at no extra charge! The hotel was modern, clean and everything we needed was provided. We absolutely loved our stay here, we’ve booked to come back already & we can’t wait!!
United Kingdombreakfast was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed as my wife was 65 on the first full day of our visit and when we told them we were given a complimentary glass of champagne each. My wife was also given a complimentary "dessert" and happy birthday was written in chocolate on the plate. The Décor in the hotel is excellent and the room was clean.
