I couldn't fault this hotel at all! The staff, the room, the cleanliness, the food ... everything was fabulous! We only stayed for 1 night but thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it and will definitely be returning when in Edinburgh! The staff were amazing! They provided us umbrellas and face masks without us even having to ask. They were all so lovely! The room was beautifully decorated, and the receptionist even gave us a little upgrade for our celebrations. Breakfast was amazing, even had traditional haggis (that tasted amazing).
United KingdomWe had an excellent stay and were so impressed by how quickly the hotel and team had adapted to new COVID-19 guidelines. Felt really safe and comfortable throughout. Room and facilities were fantastic and staff were all so lovely and accommodating. Will definitely book again.
United KingdomLocation, valet parking, beautiful room, efforts to safely normalise.
United KingdomThe stay was amazing! Waited on hand and foot, every need met without a question and done right away. The food was mouth watering, staff were all friendly especially one staff member in particular who went above and beyond (Jakub) and gave honestly the best welcome. He hands down gave the best service i have ever received and really cared for me and my pregnant girlfriend. Over all no complaints and couldnt recommend the hotel more.
United KingdomExcellent service, great rooms, really have thought of everything. Excellent location to explore Edinburgh with super helpful staff to guide you. Any issues, the staff are more than happy to help. Nice restaurants and bars with excellent decor. Gym & spa facilities are great for a city hotel with nice swimming pool to relax in.
