    Loved everything about it!

    The location was perfect. Right on Victoria street and in walking distance to everything we wanted to do. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful and made such an effort chatting to my 9 year old son.

    The room was more visually striking than practical, e.g. the lack of hooks near the bathroom

    Such a wonderful property in the middle of town. Staff are very friendly and the room was nice.

    I liked the terrace. The whole aesthetics and how the staff go above and beyond.

    Absence of chairs & table on the balcony therefore despite the warm sunny spring weather we could not use it. Chamber price is somewhat driven by inclusion of balcony?! Slightly over priced per night.

    Warm efficient welcome & early check-in. General warm & peculiar Ambience in an historical old building. Chamber set up & facilities. Roof top terrace & stunning views. Attractive lounge bar & selection of malts. Excellent dining. Proximity to historical sites & tours.

    The window in our room did not have an outside view which should be mentioned in the room description as I would have upgraded had I known. Also the continental breakfast choice was amazing but the hot choice was very limited.

    The staff were fabulous, so friendly and helpful. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. A free welcome glass of Prosecco on arrival and an extra bonus was that the room was ready early. The hotel itself is so stylish and done to a high standard.

    Beautiful hotel, pricey wine!

    Food and drink expensive. We had a meal in the Eve bar, the food was nice but pricey. We ordered a bottle of wine, without looking at the wine menu...big mistake!While I'm no expert, it tasted ok, but at £80 for the bottle I thought it was ridiculously priced with no cheaper alternatives on the menu when we checked it out. This is way beyond the average person's budget. I'm sounding like a tight Yorkshire lass, but this was a let down for me. Sorry!

    Beautiful luxurious hotel, perfect location in walking distance to all of the tourist attractions. Staff couldn't be more helpful, friendly and accommodating. The hotel decor and finish overall is of a very high standard, well maintained and very clean.

    Could have been more choice at the breakfast buffet. No shavers plug in the bathroom for our electric toothbrushes. Only a mild annoyance though, Boots sell adaptors quite cheaply.

    Prosecco upon arrival, perfect central location, 5 minutes from the castle (with views from our room!) clean, tidy, beautiful decor, comfy and spacious room.

    Breakfast although it was included in room rate it was quite basic if you wanted anything else it was extra. The last morning at breakfast was very disorganised. Long wait to get a table. Waited ages of tea & CoffeE to be served and the toast turned up after we has eaten breakfast. They seemed to be getting a lot wrong on last morning.

    The staff were all amazing, Very Friendly from the moment you walk in . Lovely room with Balcony booked for my Husband Birthday !! Amazing bed but room as quite small. Very quiet at night so got lots of rest. Complimentary cocktail tokens left in the room lovely!!

    The only downside was having to leave this exceptional hotel. Everything else exceeded expectations, leaving no room for complaints.

    Everything about the Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh was perfect. From its prime location to the grand entrance and exquisite interior, every detail exuded magnificence. The spacious, immaculately clean rooms were simply fantastic. The historic charm of the building added a phenomenal touch to the overall experience. For a truly memorable stay, there's no better choice than the Virgin Hotel.
