Fantastically fresh while still occupying and honoring the most gorgeous historical building. Location was unbeatable and they had a sweet dog who would visit the lobby. Maybe one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

Couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate my birthday. The beds were incredible after a long day of walking uphill and climbing flights of stairs. The staff was excellent and decorated my room for my arrival. The location was great and we frequented Blank NYC coffee as it was next door to the hotel. Be prepared for some noise as the hotel is next to a bar full of university students. The noise can carry well into the hours of 3-4am.

Disappointing service

Dinner at 9 on the Sun- I spotted beef wellington being served to another customer so asked for that - only after it was ordered were we told it would take 45 mins to make and that kitchen staff were held up -bit of a guilt trip to be fair and would have chosen something else if I had known it took this long . breakfast the following morning waited nearly an hour to be served cooked breakfast and I had to chase it - was served fried eggs instead of scrambled. We stayed with this hotel previously and the service was outstanding , unfortunately this was not the case this time, it is unlikely we will stay again , this was a treat for us, we had saved up our tesco vouchers and funds to make it a special trip, the Voco hotel in Edinburgh we stayed at on the Saturday really did provide a superior level of service . I am disappointed with Virgin hotel on this occasion
