Returned guest. High class hotel but toiletries are not as good as before. All Edinburg hotels charge are way more expensive than before pandemic.

The hotel itself is a tourist attraction, and the magnificent building can be easily recognized from various overlooking points in Edinburgh. The service and hotel facilities are excellent, and the breakfast is also very rich. I highly recommend it!

A very old-fashioned hotel, full of Scottish style. Personally I don't like it very much. The location is perfect, just out from the train station and next to the commercial street. It is convenient for eating and shopping. It is within walking distance to several major attractions. Edinburgh is originally a place for slow travel.

The appearance of the hotel is very beautiful, the interior decoration is warm and elegant, the facilities are complete, clean and sanitary, and the service is enthusiastic. It is a great experience and I will stay here again if I have the opportunity.

Very good, the overall service level is very high, the British service feels comfortable, the service staff are carefully selected, and it feels like entering an aristocratic hotel. The breakfast is great, and several specialties of Edinburgh are included.
