At Virgin Hotels Edinburgh, guests praise the unbeatable Old Town location near the Royal Mile and the stylish, quirky design, with many calling out warm, helpful staff and comfortable beds that make city exploring and relaxing back at base easy.
Rooms range from compact chambers with unusual bathroom layouts to spacious suites; some guests found storage limited and views or terraces underwhelming. A recurring complaint is late-night noise from nearby venues or on-site events, which can disrupt sleep in certain rooms. On-site bars and restaurants receive frequent praise, though breakfast and service speed are described as inconsistent at times. Expect a design-led, centrally located stay best for travellers prioritising style and access over guaranteed quiet or big-room space.

Design-led rooms with very comfortable beds; some suites are spacious with great castle views. Many standard rooms feel small with unconventional bathroom-in-hall layouts, limited storage, and in some areas significant noise from nearby venues; views vary widely.
