My husband & I both loved this hotel. The room was small but it was really cute and had everything you need. The hotel is very quirky with lots of little nooks to get lost in. We had read reviews that mentioned noise from the club, which we did hear one night but it wasn’t too bad. We didn’t eat in the hotel as there are plenty of places close by to choose from. We had some drinks in both the bars though, which both had a lovely atmosphere.

Virgin Hotels was amazing. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The room exceeded my expectations. The bar and restaurant were very convenient. I really enjoyed my staff here. It was in a great location and it was easy to get around Edinburgh.

The location is awesome, hotel is nice but it is way overpriced for what it is. Front desk staff struggled, accommodations that were booked were not honored. We booked a family suite at $900 dollars a night to be told when we checked in that suite wasn't available so they rebooked us into two separate rooms. As a mom traveling in Europe with two female minors and being told we needed to split into two rooms was complete madness.

Oooof, Could have , should have, really tried. It is convenient, lovely design, beautiful room. Staff is sub par, would be a 5 if they didn't sick a valet who was busy doing family business on his mobile and an untrained receptionist. I can handle baggage with 2 kids and a car- the doorman was a rude speed bump. The receptionist stood mouth open asking a colleague what to do, not explaining our room wasn't ready, then someone came out and told me a cot was £100 not the £50 quoted. So not an hour after check in , she asked someone else what to do. I offered to leave our bags and go on a tour before the semi - vocal receptionist replied. Off we went praying our bags were in hand. We were informed that our room would be ready after 6, 3 hours after check in. We got back st 7:15. The same person was at the desk, assured me things were all set. I kindly said "next time just tell me you need more time rather than leaving me irritated" Rather than take the feedback, she got defensive. Her colleague laughed at me as I walked to the lift. It didn't end. Our room is MISs marked on the floor. The kids and I schlepped down. She conferred with her manager who I could hear chuckling. She came up in the elevator and turned left then was like "oh" and struggled to find our room down the hall on the right. Disrespectful and I'll-informed staff. Nice hotel.…

Interior of property was top notch and ALL staff are amazing, helpful, kind, and, professional. Be VERY careful of room listing exterior shots as they can be quite different. Interior shots are spot on and rooms are very well laid out. Be sure you don’t get ones that are below ground (ie not much natural light) or overlooking the night club that goes until 3am. Earplugs didn’t help.

Reserve una habitación con terraza para tres dias pero el primero me dijeron que estaba ocupada y no sabian porque, asi que me dieron otra, al segundo dia la recupere pero cuando fui a pagar me cobraron los tres dias como si fuera la superior con terraza y lo peor es que no supieron darme una explicacion de porque habia pasado. Lo gestionaron muy mal.

We loved this hotel. Great location, excellent staff and very comfortable rooms. We had our two whippets with us, who were made very welcome and allowed in the bars and one of the restaurants. Breakfast was a little chaotic but the service was fine once you were seated. Overall we loved it.
