The hotel is fantastic, great location and facilities. The only issue we had was noise from a nearby nightclub from midnight through to 3am.

Such a great location, and a beautifully maintained hotel.

We booked a very expensive room with a terrace and what was supposed to be city view. We were not told however that the terraces were adjoining to 3 others and offered zero privacy nor was there a view unless we wanted to view the side of a building with scaffolding.

There’s no better location in the city. The service is incredible, restaurants are great, we loved our stay and will return.

We loved our stay at the Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh. The staff was very friendly and super helpful with recommendations. It was a pleasant change coming from London. Our room was comfortable and enough had space for our two night stay. I liked the way the bathroom was arranged and it wasn’t awkward that you walked through it to get to the bedroom. The location is absolutely perfect for seeing the sights of Old Edinburgh. Everything is walkable. We even walked from the train station although if we knew it was all uphill we may not have attempted it because it is exhausting pulling a suitcase. Unfortunately our visit was short so we didn’t utilize the restaurant or bar on site but the bar looked fun and there were other areas that were perfect for hanging out. There is also a surprising decent gym which I didn’t expect. Can’t recommend this hotel enough. I’m a lifetime titanium member at Marriott but this made me want to check out other Virgin hotels and we’ll definitely return to this hotel next trip to Edinburgh.

Fabulous hotel in a great location. Our room had a dressing room with separate rooms for toilet and shower and the most closet space I have ever seen in a hotel room! Wonderful breakfast that is worth the additional cost as it keeps you off the busy streets of the Royal Mile until later in the morning and includes a buffet and or menu items. Highly recommend.

Best service and location.

The staff was pleasant but customer service was non existent. We checked in before our rooms were ready, checked our bags and were told they’d call when the room was ready and have our luggage brought to the rooms. They did neither. The vanity area was laid out well but the bedroom was small. I had a single room but if a couple were sharing the room, it would be tight quarters. The bed was comfortable, tho. There were no amenities such as Qtips, shower cap, makeup remover pads. The elevator was extremely slow the day we checked in, as only 1 was operating. 5 stars? I don’t think so.

We loved the location, the room, the breakfast option and the upper deck looking out over the city and castle. The room was very comfortable! The only issue was the view, we paid for a castle view room which we technically had, but the window was so small and kind of blocked so we couldn’t really see it. On the plus side we were just down the hall from the deck, which had a fantastic view of the castle!

Amazing property. Backs on to nightclub. Impossible to sleep. Completely ruined my trip.

Loved this property while moving our daughter into Uni. Such a beautifully designed space with great attention to detail. Very walkable to shops, restaurants, and the University of Edinburgh. We will be back!

Prime location and walkable to many different areas. Staff were great, rooms were clean and hotel was quiet. The roof top terrace provides a great view of the city.

Would have liked to have had some coke and diet coke in the mini bar.

We enjoyed a wondrrful stay at Virgin and it was a pleasure to not have one complaint ir difficulty during this time. Lovely decor,and rooms, friendly and helpful staff, convenient location- what more to say-highly recommended.

Staying on Victoria street was a great highlight- everything was walkable without being too crowded like the Royal Mile. The staff were amazing. Victoria street can be loud at night so may not be ideal for light sleepers- we didn’t mind at all.

Hands down my favorite hotel thus far. Best service. Richard Branson does it again with the most thoughtfully coordinated hotel room. It was beautiful. We’d have been happy to stay for weeks.

very good to castle and shopping .
