10/10 Excellent
"We stay in Edinburgh alot because our daughter goes to uni over there, but this was the first time at Virgin - picked primarily because of it being close to a marathon she was running. The location is wonderful, walking distance to everything and all main attractions. Only complaint is it is on a one of those streets you must see and that comes with alot of tourists, which made it a bit noisy at night. The staff was fabulous. We asked for a late check out because of the marathon and they were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again."
