Service was top notch here with staff super friendly Loved the pool and spa facilities although they are small so recommend trying to go at off peak hours. The gym is surprisingly well appointed too - they should make more of that! Happy hour in the bar was a nice touch too

The room was too small, and most importantly, it was far from the description given by Ctrip when I booked. Picture 1 shows the room type picture and description (area 36) on Ctrip when I booked, which made people full of expectations for this room type. But Ctrip was very smart and soon changed the misleading picture of this room type. Fortunately, I took a screenshot. Picture 2 shows the room type I got (the window of the room I actually got was much smaller than this one, the room was very dark, the position of the chair was replaced by a folding bed, and the chair and the lamp were stuffed in the corner). The whole room was densely packed with a 1.5-meter bed + a folding bed + a wardrobe. There was no place to put my feet. The bathroom was so small that I would be hit when I opened the door while sitting on the toilet. It was definitely not more than 30 square meters. And I paid nearly 500 pounds per night for this room type. I can only say that the cost performance is extremely low. The hotel itself: except for the small room and the poor lighting and ventilation of the old building (which may be a common problem of Edinburgh hotels), everything else is pretty good, the facilities are very new, every staff is very enthusiastic, the public area is very cozy, and the interior decoration is also very stylish; at first I thought the breakfast had few choices and tasted bland, but later I compared it with every hotel I stayed in during the trip (including Rosewood in London), and Kimpton's breakfast was actually pretty good... Summary: If you don't mind the lighting and ventilation of the room, and can accept this price to live in a small room with a little artistic atmosphere, you can stay there. I don't recommend it for families with children.
