I had a wonderful stay here. Hotel and staff were all excellent. Modern cool luxury with no sign of the old fashioned stuffiness that some high end hotels still hang on to. I highly reccommend a stay here.

Great place to stay. Very helpful staff. The pool and sauna was lovely. Close to tram if coming from the airport or even to come from station, although easy walk from there too.

The staff is terrific. Even provided shortbread when asked! Breakfast was excellent and they would pack take away for early activities. The concierge , Gavin was terrific! Great location.

10/10 Exceptional

I booked an extra week or so here because I just loved Edinburgh. This hotel is honestly so great. The staff are spectacularly helpful, the complimentary snacks and drinks are plentiful and very convenient, the complimentary drinks at the bar during the social hour are fun (though I missed most of these because I was usually out at that hour, but still, it’s fun if you’re in the hotel, and it’s a good time to have a couple drinks before dinner), the fact that housekeeping is available 24/7 is beyond amazing. I will absolutely be back to stay here again when in Edinburgh next, which I hope can be soon!

Everything here was just great, the coffee in the room was perfect super delicious. The free drink and popcorn everyday was a nice touch. The rooms might have been a bit small but the beds were nice the water was warm and you could rent some fun health stuff to the room so it was all good. The breakfast was great! So all and all. Great!!

Beautifully curated property. Rooms were spacious, really well equipped andci loved the little complimentary extras you could request as a pamper or for things you'd forgotten. Would recommend without hesitation and return when revisiting Edinburgh.
