Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent
"The staff, the vibe, the rooms! We had such a good time. We had a little issue with our door lock and the staff immediately remedied the problem and wrote a handwritten card and gave us a little gift. The extra mile is met here. They’re so accommodating and the rooms are top notch. I’d, without a doubt, stay again if we come back to Edinburgh!"
