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

Very good hotel, the best five-star hotel in Scotland, with an excellent location and good service. Especially breakfast can be ordered, and it is different every day. If the children can't get up, they can order breakfast to take back to the room. Environmentally friendly and high-quality lunch boxes are provided. There are not many five-star hotels like this in the UK.

Princes Street is right outside Edinburgh Railway Station. It is convenient to go shopping and visit attractions. The Scottish are warm and nice. The hotel breakfast is very delicious, semi-self-service, the room bedding is also very comfortable, and the night lotion provided is really useful. It's a pity that it can't be bought. It's like milk and can resist the strong wind and dry weather in Scotland. The best castle hotel.

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!
