Great location to travel to by public transport and to explore on foot. Comfortable room and bed, felt very spacious and bright even with few windows thanks to big mirrors in the entrance/hallway. We were offered free champagne as a welcome - the hotel has a nice rooftop bar

Loved staying here, the Dog house has so many different quirky extras that make it feel like so much more than a hotel. The room itself was spotless and so well looked after, the staff really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Will be back soon with the dog next time! 🐶 Thank you Doghouse! 10/10!

Top notch facilities and property. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly. The room was gorgeous, recently updated and felt luxurious amongst the historic building and grounds. WiFi was strong enough for video meetings throughout the property

    This is by far the most well organized and interesting ways...

    This is by far the most well organized and interesting ways to express information that I have experienced. We found one day just got you started. I would advice one to get the layout of the divisions and plan several days to visit. I wish we had. My; daughter and I have studied and she has worked in archeology. Having the museum include the modern time next to the ancient time was refreshing.

    Love this place.

    Love this place. If you've come to see Scotland, see Scotland but also come here and know more. A great contrast to the noise and spectacle of the Edinburgh Festival; a treat for the mind. Lovely soup and cheese scone under the gaze of a stone cat commissioned by King Amenhotep!! Then up close and personal with David Coulthard's RB2.

    Very good venue - to see it all would take days.

    Very good venue - to see it all would take days. Best advice is to pick a section and really look at it - gives you an excuse for a return trip to Edinburgh to see another bit of the museum, along with all the other atractions.

    Do not miss this place!

    Do not miss this place! It is huge and we could have spent all day there. An incredibly beautiful building. It was quite overwhelming at first to know where to start as there isn’t a route as such to follow. It was very busy and crowded in some areas and empty in others. Impossible to sit down in the cafe as it was so busy but there are lots of seats fitted around if you need a break. We almost missed it but there is a roof terrace which is well worth a visit with super views of the city. And it’s free!!!! But there are donation stations for making your own choice of what to give. A duper super place!!
