I had quite a mixed experience at the hotel. While the surrounding views of Edinburgh Castle were absolutely stunning from my room, the overall standard of the room itself fell short of my expectations for a 5-star establishment. Service was friendly, but I encountered some issues with the dining experience that were disappointing. I appreciated the spa facilities, which were excellent for relaxation, but there were definitely aspects that need attention.

My stay was quite the contrast between luxury and disappointment. The hotel boasts breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle and offers certain touches of luxury, but my experience was marred by the outdated room decor and a troublesome check-in process. While I appreciated the friendly service, the facilities, including the pool, fell short of my expectations. Overall, it felt like I paid a premium for less than stellar accommodations.

I had an incredible time at the Sheraton, which really helped elevate my 30th birthday. The spacious rooms, especially with the mood lighting, made my stay feel special. The spa facilities looked luxurious, but I didn't get a chance to try them. The only downside was some minor issues with room cleaning timing and breakfast service, which could use a little more attention.
