I loved staying at The Kimpton! Zoe was so warm and helpful! We took advantage of the amenities like Plant Pal, having them arrange transportation for us, the loaner Strathberry bag, and they have an amazing list of wellness options like the TheraGun (which my lower back needed after 2 solid days walking the whole of Edinburgh). We would absolutely stay again.

Loved this hotel. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel staff were great. The design was superb and the location was excellent. I enjoyed borrowing a Strathberry purse for my stay as well as the plant buddy. I ate once at the restaurant in the hotel Baba and it was excellent. There is a nearby Pret if you want to get a modestly priced breakfast.

We had a fabulous stay at Kimpton. The hotel is perfectly situated in the centre of the city, but in a safe, quiet Georgian square. The facilities are excellent, including a pool.and spa and 2 restaurants. We only ate breakfast and in the cafe area , not the restaurant, but the staff here are, without fail, absolutely AMAZING, ....friendly, professional and the MOST helpful staff i have ever had in a hotel. Definitely recommend a stay there.
