Great spot

Great hotel in a great location. My room was ready about an hour before checkin. I had a castle view and it was very pretty. Also took advantage of the rooftop garden and restaurant the hotel had to offer. I would stay here again.

Unbelievable Virgin Experience

This is my first experience with Virgin Hotels. I must say, it exceeded my expectation in every way. The staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed in a church suite room which was incredibly spacious, super comfortable and well appointed. I was particularly impressed with the eco friendly lighting and climate control experience. The unique branding and artwork is very apparent and appealing. I would highly recommend Virgin and this Edinburgh location was ideal.
