Virgin Hotel Edinburgh was excellent. Located close to most attractions and restaurants. The chamber room with terrace was spacious and unique.Only con was the long trek with bags up stairs and long corridors to get to the room as there was no direct access. Overall this is an exceptional hotel with great service. We will definitely visit again.

Lovely hotel in the old town area of Edinburgh. Beware that the regular king rooms are even very small - barely space on the floor for a suitcase. Staff was great though and location cannot be beat.
