United States of AmericaThe staff from the front desk, concierge, housekeeping, and server staff were excellent. Two servers in particular were outstanding at breakfast in Eve restaurant. We stayed six days at the Virgin Hotel and Giannis and Andrew were the most attentive and delightful servers. Giannis was impeccable in his service but also so personable and helpful and informative about Edinburgh. He is a remarkable employee. I am missing my delicious breakfasts already!
