Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG

The hotel is wonderful: super friendly and helpful staff everywhere, great location, very comfortable with lovely amenities. Our King room was lovely, but we also decided to upgrade our room to a junior suite, which was reasonable to do, and was a very nice room, with great space and views, super comfy bed, and lovely spacious bathroom. Breakfast at the hotel was busy, but very well catered, and there was a great selection of food available. The spa and pool areas were excellent as before. Also, they are super nice with dogs staying and very accommodating, which is most appreciated. Definitely my go-to luxury hotel in Edinburgh.

There was a problem with our booking so we ended up getting a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite. It was like a one bedroom flat and was enormous. There was a complimentary free mini bar, tea, coffee machine, ghd hair straiteners and hairdryer, iron and ironing board and complimentary toiletries. The location is right at the top of George street so was handy for all shops, restaurants and bars around the George street, rose street and princes street areas. There was a wee bit of noise from public coming away at night, bit of singing etc but nothing that kept you awake for long. There was also complimentary water and drinks in the public areas.

The Kimpton Charlotte Square boasts an unbeatable location, which truly made our stay. We found the staff to be friendly and attentive, and our room was perfectly adequate with all the essentials. While the pool was a tad busy when we used it, breakfast was satisfactory. A definite highlight was the incredible food at the BABA restaurant.

Enjoyed the gym facilities and the bar, all the staff were extremely friendly. The room was warm and comfortable, a little surprised that there were minimal complimentary items, coffee, biscuits etc, it would have been nice to have more than 2 biscuits and 2 coffees.. No items in the minibar, again disappointing.

Everything about this place is exceptional, the location, the fact that everything is under the same roof, i.e. the pool, rooms, bar, restaurant... it's other worldly, everything is quality, the staff, the food, love the happy hour!, we love this place, love it...
