Disappointing service

Dinner at 9 on the Sun- I spotted beef wellington being served to another customer so asked for that - only after it was ordered were we told it would take 45 mins to make and that kitchen staff were held up -bit of a guilt trip to be fair and would have chosen something else if I had known it took this long . breakfast the following morning waited nearly an hour to be served cooked breakfast and I had to chase it - was served fried eggs instead of scrambled. We stayed with this hotel previously and the service was outstanding , unfortunately this was not the case this time, it is unlikely we will stay again , this was a treat for us, we had saved up our tesco vouchers and funds to make it a special trip, the Voco hotel in Edinburgh we stayed at on the Saturday really did provide a superior level of service . I am disappointed with Virgin hotel on this occasion

Funky hotel a minutes walk from the royal mile. Great service, nothing to complain about other that the noisy neighbours. Nightclub at the back had thudding music until 3am. By window had two sets of double glazing but it’s the thudding that reverberates the building and I was 8 floors up. Ask for a room at the other side of the hotel if you have trouble sleeping

Amazing hotel experience !!!

This is not just a gorgeous hotel, it is ideally located, with wonderful views and amenities. As we struggled with luggage the amazing doorman came out to us and offered to help with the bags. Service is the heart of this hotel and I’d highly recommend it!
