Saudi ArabiaYou can't beat this location for sightseeing in Edinburgh. It's close to (but not on top of) the bar scene and it is easy to get to all restaurants and tourist venues. The staff was super accommodating, even when I was being a bit of a pain. When I was leaving I asked for advice on getting to the airport and the staff contacted a reliable taxi service for me. The lush, but somehow non-stuffy, library space was delightful.

United States of AmericaWhile searching for a hotel to stay at while attending the British open at St. Andrews , my wife and I came upon the new Virgin Hotel Edinburgh . Other than knowing the name Sir Richard Branson , knew nothing of this new Hotel chain. Took a chance and booked and All I could say is what a fantastic choice. Staff were friendly, helpful, and always with a genuine smile and ready to help in every way. Food exceptional and lovely surroundings, room cozy , comfortable and offered a great sleep. Bar , food and general look was incredible . Amazing attention to details everything in the right place .All I could add is that I can’t wait to go back.

United States of AmericaThe location is perfect, close to bars, shops, restaurants and main attractions. The room has high ceilings, double windows that isolate you from the noise outside and very nice amenities and furniture. The bed and pillows are perfect. The overall vibe of the place is amazing, down to every detail like aroma, design, lighting, etc. definitely high end.
