First time staying at a Virgin Hotel. Unusual room layout, walking into the bathroom. Though the room was very comfortable and the amenities and staff at the hotel were excellent. Can’t ask for a better location just around the corner from the Royal Mile. I would highly recommend this hotel and location.
