Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was for our anniversary trip and subsequent engagement. We wanted a place within walking distance of various locations in Edinburgh. I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city. The staff elevated our stay, every single staff member was helpful, friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and the location is probably the best in terms of proximity to everything in old town. Hotel is clean, has great amenities, breakfast and room service were excellent. 5 star experience."
