Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We arrived at the hotel past check-in time about 6pm. We were told our 2 rooms are not ready and they are unable to advise the time when the room will be ready. This is not like we are there at 1 or 2 pm before check in time. We were there after check in time and we were still told the rooms are not ready. The service staff were impatient and wasn't helpful as we were there with 3 kids; one of them is still a baby. The staffs could have been more empathetic and provided more a better solution. They offered us drinks were also limited. Checked in and the rooms were dusty. My kids had a bad skin allergy reaction after sleeping there the first night. Staffs were not helpful to getting us to a nearest doctor. Overall VERY VERY disappointed from a W hotel Chain. They can do a lot better for a 5 star hotel.

Front of house staff were always welcoming and friendly. Room was well equipped and spacious. Roof top bar had what must be the best views of Edinburgh. Fantastic design. Sadly had an issue with housekeeping which I felt when raised was not adequately taken on board. Let the experience of staying at the hotel down.
