Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryVirgin Hotels Edinburgh presents a blend of historic charm and modern luxury, consistently earning praise as a five-star establishment. Guests rave about the fantastic breakfast with some hailing the breakfast team for their exceptional service. The bar, library and terrace add to the allure, providing well-designed, opulent spaces that enhance the overall experience.

The hotel is situated in a historical building built into a cliff, beautifully integrating 400 years of culture and design with modern amenities. Rooms are described as quiet, cool, comfortable and luxurious, maintaining a high level of cleanliness. The luxurious feel extends to both the private and public areas of the hotel, providing a modern yet historic charm.

Service receives mixed reviews; while many guests commend the exceptional, friendly and professional staff, others feel the service falls short of five-star standards. Notably, the bar staff’s attitude and the lack of amenities such as coffee service in the bar and limited room service menus detract from the experience for some. There's a sense that the hotel sometimes struggles with understaffing, which impacts the service quality.

Guests also mention that certain aspects, like the basic room layouts or the inadequately soundproofed accommodation, do not align with five-star expectations, leading to some disappointment given the high price point per night.

Despite these inconsistencies, many guests still deem Virgin Hotels Edinburgh as one of the best hotels in the city with luxurious facilities and a high-quality experience, justifying the five-star rating for many. The overall experience seems to combine comfort, luxury and a rich historical ambiance, making it a notable choice for visitors to Edinburgh.

5-Star AparthotelSummary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryThe 'Royal Mile Balconies by the Castle' boasts an exceptional location right beside Edinburgh Castle, nestled in the heart of the old town. Guests consistently highlight the immaculate and spotlessly clean rooms, which are well-equipped for short stays and feature high-quality products. Attention to detail is evident in every convenience provided, enhancing the comfort and functionality of the accommodations.

However, despite the meticulous upkeep and the conveniences offered, there is a recurring sentiment that the establishment does not live up to its advertised five-star rating. Many reviews liken the experience more to an Airbnb, indicating that the rooms do not match the luxury and quality typically associated with a five-star rating and instead suggest a three-star level of service and amenities.
