Apart from the amazing finishing and feel throughout the hotel. Having stayed in some of the best hotels in the world in Dubai, New York and Paris, the staff at the Kimpton were the best i have come across in any hotel. Especially Robbie and Gavin, they were on hand at any time to help make a special stay for us even more special. We have already agreed to revisit Edinburgh and without a shadow of a doubt, The Kimpton will be our hotel of choice. Not a single part of our stay was not perfect.
United KingdomWe had an absolutely incredible stay at the Kimpton the staff were so friendly and helpful and the hotel was just beautiful can’t wait to return again soon
AustraliaLovely hotel, staff very helpful and friendly. Great location.
United KingdomBreakfast, lunch and dinner were all excellent. Like that there is a good choice of small plates and that food is imaginative. My husband uses a wheelchair so hotels can be tricky but staff were extremely helpful and made life easy.
United KingdomGreat location, friendly staff and good ambience.
United Arab EmiratesExcellent staff, very comfortable and a great location
United Arab EmiratesLocation and hotel amenities were great! Staff was helpful and friendly. Social hour is a very nice touch.
ItalyWe had a room on the 5th floor with a view of Edinburgh castle, and it was hands down amazing. The shower was powerful and really warm. The USB wall outlets are really helpful so you don’t need an adapter. We didn’t get to the spa but that sounded amazing too. Breakfast had a ton of good options, including gluten free toast on request. The bottle of wine for our anniversary was a really beautiful touch too! Overall, we loved it and would stay here again!
United States of AmericaThe room was great but the staff that works there were exceptional, Gavin went above and beyond when my daughter and I checked in, he took care of everything the night we arrived, thank you very much Gavin.
United States of AmericaWe had a lovely stay at the Kimpton. Great dinner reservation recommendations from the staff. Thank you Kimpton!
