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

I have travelled extensively and stayed in a plethora of hotels around the world and the Kimpton Edinburgh is by far one of the very worst hotels. Undoubtedly the most overpriced, disappointing hotel I have ever had the displeasure of visiting. One expects slightly more from a room @£560 a night than a dingy room with a very small window that hardly opens, a small double bed, backing onto a noisy alley. When opening the window the room quickly filled with exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke. The aircon kept turning the temperature up no matter how many times you turned it down, which in the current heat (19 July 2022 30°+) made it impossible to sleep. The bed was rock hard, the pillows... I have no words and the bed linen so scratchy my elbows and heels feel tender.
I honestly have nothing good to say about this hotel, I can with certainty say I will never return!
Do yourself a favour and stay away!
