Virgin Edinburgh is a gorgeous hotel with spacious rooms. It’s located super close to the Royal Mile, the castle, and lots of other in-city sights. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We highly recommend the hotel! The only issue we had was that there is no parking at the hotel and it is recommended to park 15 minutes away. I wish there was the option of valet parking for those of us unfamiliar with driving in the city.

The hotel is very conveniently located, within a 10-minute walk to the National Gallery, Calton Hill, and Waverley Train Station. The front desk kindly arranged two rooms for us together. The room was spacious and clean. We stayed on the first floor, and the windows were blocked, but it didn't matter. We were tired after a day of touring Edinburgh, so we went back to the room and fell asleep. What's interesting is that the front desk facing Princes Street is on the fifth floor.

We stayed 1 night in the Roomzzz aparthotel and it was amazing, the staff on reception were happy and helpful. The reception and the room itself were both immaculately clean, the room was modern and spacious with all the facilities we needed, the beds are really comfortable too. In reception we were offered complimentary hot drinks whenever we liked and on the following morning complimentary pastries are served which was a lovely touch. The location is amazing also right in the centre so within walking distance to both the new town and old town, over all amazing and when next visiting Edinburgh will be booking here again x

Great hotel, great room, great location, friendly staff. Breakfast was great and fulfilling. They had various options, but I chose the full English breakfast which was delicious. The room was spacious and clean with lots of features and amenities. Very central location with easy access to the new town and the old town. The train station is 5 min walk from the hotel. I will definitely be staying at the Doghouse again.

I visited the W for the first time on Friday evening. From the moment we stepped through the door the experience was exquisite. We didn’t have a reservation however sitting at the bar in the upstairs lounge was wonderful. We met the lovely Sumith who educated us on everything wine related. Edson our bartender made some delicious cocktails. The experience was perfection from start to finish, I cannot wait to return!! To finish off our wonderful evening we were given access to the 12th floor, just WOW. I’ve not seen views like these in Edinburgh!!

This was our second time at this hotel and we stayed for almost a week. You can't beat the location on George Street, right downtown, close to shops and restaurants. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms and bathrooms are very nice. The king bed had a good mattress and pillows. There is a safe. They seem to have made upgrades since our last pre-covid stay, including air-conditioning in (all?) rooms. As you would expect in a big city, the rooms are quite small and the hotel is not exactly quiet; also depending on where your room faces. We were right by the elevator, which I generally don't like. I wonder if it's because we booked through our credit card and not direct. It seems there is sometimes a ”penalty'. The rooms are supplied daily with water, delicious cookies and snacks. You can make individual cups of drip coffee in a filter, which is much better than instant coffee but not as good as a Nespresso, IMHO. We had breakfast included and the Printing Press is just wonderful, for breakfast, any meal and later evening cocktails and whiskey. The Burr & Co is a coffee shop, also right next door, with tables outside. Love that place. The hotel has great service. We lost a suitcase and got daily support in checking on the status and changing the address on the delivery. There seemed to be a shortage on hair conditioner and we didn't have a sign for do-not-disturb the first day and got woken at 8 AM, but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of the hotel stay. We expect to be back.

We booked a night in hotel indigo Edinburgh for the night before flying from Edinburgh airport the next day so we could have a night of dinner/drinks with family-my 40th birthday is soon! On arrival at hotel we we were greeted with an amazing smell & friendly helpful staff-we were informed our room had been upgraded! The room was amazing-spacious, huge comfortable bed, big tv, a dressing table area, mini fridge with complimentary irn bru & caramel wafers :) the bathroom was also roomy with a good powerful shower. It would have been a 100% if it wasn’t for the terrible hairdryer-it only seemed to work on a slow/low setting so took an age to dry my long hair, I’m sure if we had asked then we may have got another & it was minor when everything else was excellent! We would definitely stay again!

The hotel is fab the staff are great and cannot do more for you , lovely touches provided by guest relations concierge & reception staff are so lovely , catering & bar staff great , the room was lovely , great shower and local produce in rooms such as the coffee etc , social hour is a nice touch and breakfast was great , i would stay here again we had a lovely stay ... however the spa lets it down This was a special birthday suprise for my other half i booked the spa for treatments for us . We were late on arrival due to rail strikes and i missed my spa appointment which is fine i expect that if you are not on time. My partner was still able to recieve his treatment however we were provided with no towels robes or slippers , no info regarding lockers . The massuise gave my partner a robe and was suprised one was not already provided for him after he had to walk around after getting changed into swimwear .The water machine in the ladies changing room did not work the only water available was from a tap in the toilet not ideal as the next water machine was in the lobby opposite the gym , especially not ideal if u have no robe or slippers or towel to go out to it . So if you are are a lady there is no drinking water available , very undignified !! I was not shown to the relaxation room and couldnt go in even if i wanted to as i had no towel or robe . My partner told me the mens changing room stank of urine from a pipe . The staff were not very helpfull or attentive and the service at the spa does not reflect the service or same level of standard as the rest of the hotel . I have had better service at a local lesuire centre and would not use this ”spa” again . My partner and I often use spas and this was by far the worst spa expeirience dissapointing as it was his birthday. I could maybe understand if it was busy but it wasnt .

I booked a a night within the hotel on Halloween as we had booked a walking ghost tour within the city. It was a bit of a walk down to the Royal mile taking about 25 mins but as it was dry it was ok. The hotel was fantastic, the reception staff were lovely and very helpful. The entrance lobby was warm and clean, very inviting. All of the corridors were very well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a queen sized bed, seating area and a good sized bathroom. The room again was nicely decorated and well equipped. Due to the restrictions the hotel restaurant was closed but we were allowed to order food into the hotel and the receptionist even pointed us in the direction of local shops. I would recommend the hotel and will most probably stay again.

Especially satisfied, it was amazing as soon as I entered the room. The ancient city outside the window was like a picture. It was so pleasant to have an afternoon tea in front of the window! The room is very new, clean and tidy, the bathroom is oversized, the open kitchen is complete, the most satisfying stay in the UK is here, tomorrow from the Highlands back to Edinburgh and want to stay for another night, but unfortunately there is no room.

WWalaaPerfect transit location at Edinburgh airport. Comfortable bed and good breakfast. Helpful staff.
GGuest UserThe room was large, well located, and the bed was soft. It is because of such advantages that I chose this hotel again.
However, the room service was very poor, which made me very dissatisfied. I knocked on the door many times and asked me when to check out or renew my stay. I paid for an extra four hours at the front desk and told me that I would check out at 4 pm, but during this period, the attendant kept knocking on the door and asking, which seriously affected my mood. The service left me extremely dissatisfied.
MMiuhangjiayiThe first night was 119 pounds and the second night was ¥2842 for the same room type because the second day was a Friday. I understand that, but what I don’t understand is that if I extend my stay, I have to change rooms and I have to check out in the morning and I have to check out again at 3pm. The most interesting thing about checking in is that the room is small and the double bed is as big as the single bed. A person in the small room has to turn sideways when walking. I went to the front desk to ask why there was such a big difference in the same room type. The answer was that I had to pay another 25 pounds to change. The larger room is really speechless. In short, everyone must check clearly when booking a room. Don’t think that expensive conditions are good. Don’t waste money.
GGuest UserSolo visit as visiting the city, Edinburgh always been on my ”bucket” list and this hotel is just a gem! Not a 5 star building but most definitely a 5 star experience. I was met by Anthony who checked me in promptly and efficiently, he was very informative and helped me with a few tourist things. My room was perfectly fine, a little dated but nothing drastic. Breakfast perfectly cooked and everything you could have wanted, loved the porridge. I will be back again!
Yy619qThe location of the hotel is a bit far from the urban area. For those who like to play golf, this hotel is good, convenient, cheap to play, and you can rent clubs. The hotel room is not big and clean, and the waiters are friendly. You can only eat in the restaurant if you make an appointment in advance. You can order directly in the bar without making an appointment. It's good to enjoy the beautiful scenery while drinking beer.
CChristinaAmazing overall. Only thing that can better are: noise level within the corridors of the room floor. The room wall is so thin that you could hear all noises. The water pressure of the shower is pathetically low. I was given a room with a view (view to the roof that is, see photo) 😅.
Anyway the whole location and friendly staff made up for what’s missing.
GGuest UserWell located and staff helpful both during our visit and via email leading up to it. Hotel is off the beaten track and was quiet so no outside noise to speak of. Room we were allocated was just about ok size wise, older style furnishings and was ok, very clean though as was the bathroom which again was ok. Breakfast had plenty of choice but server appeared to be under pressure with the amount of people as the times had been shortened to only 2 hours available, 7am to 9am - I assume to accommodate the larger party who were getting theirs at 10am. As a result our breakfast felt rushed , no toast or drink refills. Not a great problem at breakfast but don't really want to be rushing breakfast after a night out in Edinburgh. In summary for the price paid, excellent location and good staff, decor is dated but clean and adequate, would I return ? yes if the prices was more competitive.
CChristineLCThe shower leaks we had to put the towel down in front of the shower door…
The room feels like hospital rooms but overall we had a good stay at the hotel. It’s 10-15 minute walk to the city center.
There’s a gym on the basement floor also
JJuliaThe hotel is located in a quiet area close to the city center (it took us 30 minutes to walk with a child from the train station).
There are many different restaurants and cafes nearby, and the transportation links are excellent, with a bus and tram stop literally a 2-minute walk away, as well as the Haymarket railway station. If you plan on traveling outside Edinburgh, this would be convenient for you.
The hotel serves good breakfasts with a convenient serving time from 7:30-10:00, so you can always have breakfast in the morning and go for a walk. The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is a 15-minute walk from the hotel.
We stayed in room 63, which was clean and warm (we stayed in February), and the room was regularly cleaned.
As for the downsides, I can note the size of the room and bathroom. We booked a 25m2 room, but in reality, it did not correspond to the declared size and was very small, feeling no more than 12m2. This fact disappointed me. Therefore, I recommend always clarifying this point.
-
-Also, there was a small amount of mold in the bathroom, which was slightly unpleasant but not critical.
-Hotel Pros:
+Excellent transportation links;
+Cleanliness and warmth in the room;
+Friendly staff;
+Nearby train station;
+Nearby cafes and restaurants;
Hotel Cons:
Room size did not correspond to the declared size;
There was a small amount of mold in the bathroom;
Overall, I recommend this hotel as the price-quality ratio is optimal👍🏻.
We were a little apprehensive about this place after reading some of the reviews, but in the end, we had no problems or dramas. The instructions to gain access and collect the keyword simple and straightforward and happily everything worked. The room was perfectly clean, as was the bedding and towels.the water was always warm, although the cistern did take its time to fill. It took us a day to realise that if we needed clean cups or glasses and extra coffee tea and milk to just help ourselves from the lounge and leave our mucky cups in the tray there. As it is a double room having two proper chairs would have been nice. It is in a really nice area with rail bus and tram links to all parts of the city, although we mainly walked, taking about 30 minutes to get to the middle of Princes St. At the price we paid we would happily return.
