“This hotel stands out for its daring architecture and curated cocktail bar, Joao's Place. I think that dining at SUSHISAMBA, paired with the rooftop views, should be a priority for guests. While the location is prime for exploring Edinburgh, the staff truly elevates the experience.”

warm welcomecomfortable bed
the staff greeted me with complimentary champagne upon my arrival. the gentleman at the door gave a warm welcome and always acknowledged me as i moved through the hotel. sushi samba was beautiful and the hotel made sure i got a table even though it was fully booked online. the super clean room included a very comfortable bed and robes with slippers.
the light in the toilet cubicle stayed on longer than necessary at night.

charming stay

the room had excellent toiletries. the location made it simple to get to shops and restaurants. i found a coffee pod machine in the room. slippers and robes were also in the room. the shoe cleaning kit was a nice touch, one often absent elsewhere.
my adult son had trouble using the drink vouchers. the staff didn't understand the voucher system. this wasted a lot of my son's time. it was a very clunky situation
