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!

The room fee was paid in advance with Ctrip. When we checked in, we were asked to provide our credit card in case there was any other consumption. We didn’t spend anything at this hotel during our stay, so why was nearly 23 pounds deducted directly after check-out?

The door face is relatively small and not very obvious. But once you get in, it's very big and overall good. I booked a family room. The link says it has a large bed plus a sofa bed, but it actually has a large bed plus a small single folding bed. A bit on the soft side.

Except for the small door of the hotel, which is difficult to find when passing by (it is indeed too low-key), everything else is very good, especially the staff are very warm and friendly to all guests, which is rare. This hotel is a bit domestic. It has a high-end folk feel. It feels good to rest, work and surf the Internet in the lobby. I will stay here again next time I come to Yinggai.

There is no elevator on the fourth floor of this hotel, so you have to climb a very narrow and steep spiral staircase, which is very difficult. There are drinks in the room but no corkscrew. It's almost boring in every aspect.

The rooms are small and the infrastructure is good. The brand under InterContinental just opened its first store in Suzhou in China. The attitude of the service staff is very warm, and the breakfast is also very rich. It is very close to Princes Street in Edinburgh.

We got our room wrong at the beginning, but the attitude of the two staffs is still very good, and they made adjustments quickly. They are very friendly overall, the room facilities are very new, and the location is not bad. You can see Edinburgh from the hotel castle
