10/10 Exceptional

Virgin Hotel Edinburgh was excellent. Located close to most attractions and restaurants. The chamber room with terrace was spacious and unique.Only con was the long trek with bags up stairs and long corridors to get to the room as there was no direct access. Overall this is an exceptional hotel with great service. We will definitely visit again.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very well run, busy hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Easy walking distance to everything. Super helpful and pleasant staff. The rooms were exactly as presented in the pictures—really nice. The food in the Commons restaurant was top-notch. Highly recommend it. Only drawback was lack of storage in the rooms for a longer stay.

Ryo, 2-night trip

Exceeded Expectations

This was our first trip to Scotland and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice with the Virgin Hotel. From the moment we checked in with Connor handling our luggage, to every concierge helping us navigate the city; the service/experience was incredible. This was also our first stay at a Virgin Hotel and it will not be our last. We are doing more international travel in the future and Virgin Hotels will be our first choice.
Jeffrey, 3-night trip

Great location, and luxury hotel with a welcome drink for all guests. The roof terrace is a must try!
