Amazing hotel with friendly helpful staff. Clean and tidy & a perfect location for visiting all of the shops, bars, restaurants & sights.

Every member of staff that we dealt with were absolutely first class in their roles. The Sushisamba restaurant is outstanding as is the Joao bar also. Highly recommend this hotel and its restaurants.

Very nice hotel right next to shopping mall. Modern, comfy bed. Staff helpful and friendly. Bars great, very clean. Easy walk to old town. Would recommend
Lovely hotel, in a terrific spot in Edinburgh. Tons of shopping and restaurants on the doorstep. Staff were very courteous and super friendly.
Rooms very nice, definitely a weird layout..regarding the bathroom area.
Loved the fact that they had valet parking which is very rare in Edinburgh
Would definitely recommend this hotel.
The room was well appointed and clean. My room however was across the road in another building which meant I had to cross in the pouring rain to get to my room or back to the main hotel building to use any amenities or reception. Additionally, there was a construction site directly outside my window which was both noisy and detracted from privacy.
The staff is very efficient, thoughtful, and professional, providing seamless comfort. The amenities are the best of the W. The 360 degree view off the deck is priceless and the best in the city.

Location is great.
For a high end hotel, we expected more than a single sink. Mattress worn to limits.
Staff were friendly.
