Property Description

More than just a place to lay your head in Scotlands ancient capital Virgin Hotels Edinburgh is fast becoming the go-to spot for everything from smart dinners and laid-back lunches to cocktails. On picturesque Victoria Street steps from the Royal Mile and just minutes from Edinburgh Castle this is the epicenter of the charming Old Town and Virgin Hotels elegant 222-room head-turner provides a quirky respite amidst it all. The 204 chambers and 18 suites have been specifically designed to be flexible and fun with adjustable spaces for work play and sleep. Each one has a luxurious and spacious dressing area complete with oversized sink vanity and make-up desk an extra-large shower with bench and wardrobe for two. You will also find a red Smeg minibar fridge stocked with a fun selection of high street priced Scottish products. Downstairs the wood-paneled Commons Club restaurant and bar exudes old school elegance with a romantic twist serving up Scottish fare with an international finesse; whilst all-day Italian restaurant Eve hosts mid-week live cooking classes and has an extensive cocktail menu. The equally popular afternoon teas taken in Oculus Lounge - a superbly restored three-tiered domed rotunda - occur on weekends. It all adds up to one of Edinburghs most compelling addresses for both visitors and locals alike.

Lovely hotel and highly recommended. The service is exceptional. will come back again.

Arrived at this European hostel after 6 PM, and the room wasn't ready yet. Waited until 8 PM to check in, and was sorely disappointed. It felt just like a cheap youth hostel, absolutely terrible. What's worse, the cleaning was very superficial. I had to ask them to change the sheets again. This place is rubbish, and they call themselves five-star! They pulled so many disgusting stunts and didn't offer any compensation. Unbelievable.

This is a fantastic hotel! The design is sleek and the facilities are user-friendly, truly reflecting a people-oriented approach. The staff are enthusiastic and passionate. The innovative entrance design transforms the otherwise cramped hallway into an artistic space!

Excellent service, fantastic room decor that's both aesthetic and comfortable, superb hotel facilities, and a prime location. I'd call this the best hotel in Edinburgh.

Hygiene: Excellent. Housekeeping came to clean every day and asked for feedback. The bathroom with separate wet and dry areas was very clean. Location: Situated on Victoria Street, making it convenient to get to nearby attractions. Facilities: The TV supported screen mirroring, and everything felt quite new. It was a comfortable stay.

The room was very spacious, and the bathroom design was excellent, with the shower and toilet thoughtfully separated. My only minor complaint is that the ceiling felt a bit low, but otherwise, I was very satisfied. The staff were all incredibly warm and lovely.
