I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, highlighted by the stunning views of Edinburgh Castle from my room. The spa facilities were a standout feature, incredibly relaxing and unique.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was quite lovely. The room was spacious and had an amazing view of the castle, plus the spa facilities were excellent for relaxation. However, I encountered a few minor hiccups with some amenities not being as modern or well-maintained as expected. The dining experience was enjoyable, but I hoped for a bit more variety in the options available. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel offered great value for the overall experience.

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.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was overpriced for the quality. It felt dated and was not properly cleaned, with leftover items from previous guests. Despite facing a beautiful view, it was cold and uncomfortable, making my stay less enjoyable.

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boasts breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle and offers certain touches of luxury, but my experience was marred by the outdated room decor and a troublesome check-in process.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.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had a stunning view of the castle, but it was quite dated and lacked modern amenities. The unique bathroom layout was interesting, yet it felt cramped in areas.
Service

The service from the staff was genuinely friendly and accommodating, but my check-in experience was frustrating due to strict ID policies.

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to all major attractions and right across from the Usher Hall.

The pool was a highlight, but it was unfortunate that it was closed during my visit, which limited my options.

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.

Rooms
9.0
The rooms were beautifully appointed and spacious, featuring mood lighting and generous amenities. My only quirk was the frosted glass bathroom doors, which were a bit unusual.
Service

The hotel is ideally situated within walking distance of major tourist attractions and vibrant local bars and restaurants.

The spa and pool facilities looked inviting, although the pool had limited access times for families, which was a bit of a letdown.
