    Great location, great room, food and service! Exceptional exclusive rooftop bar!

    I had asked for a shuttle transport to their golf location and they suggested it, but the price for that service was way too high. So I opted for a rental car instead. Of course, they can define their pricing as they wish and I had the option to accept or not, so not a real problem.

    Excellent breakfast, not a buffet but full service, freshly prepared with several great options! Beautiful, extremely clean room, all shiny and sparkly! Very attentive service everywhere: Hotel, restaurant, bell boys etc! Rooftop bar accessible only for members and hotel guests, very exclusive and with a great view of the city.

    We honestly don’t have a bad word to say.

    From the moment we arrived at Gleneagles Townhouse, We were welcomed by the lovely Ewan, who made us feel right at home he took the time to personally show us to our room. What a lovely genuine man who gave us a perfect start to our stay! We spent the evening up at Lamplighters, the beautiful rooftop bar. The atmosphere was amazing, and the cocktails were even better. I had a Cosmopolitan made the classic 1934 way…just how I like it and made to perfection. Dinner at The Spence was fantastic, as always. We’ve eat here before, but this was our first overnight stay, and it won’t be our last. We stayed in one of the Town Rooms, which was stunning. Every detail was thought of. We returned after dinner to find the room turned down, soft jazz playing from a vintage radio, slippers by the bed, and a little sleepy spray beside the pillow such thoughtful little touches that really made the experience special. It’s those little things that truly make it. We had the best sleep, heading back to The Spence for a great breakfast. Every member of staff we met was kind, attentive, and just lovely..thank you to you all for making our stay memorable.

    Fantastic stay at the townhouse. Similarly to Gleneagles, the staff are wonderful and the attention to detail is superb. Every little thing they have thought of makes the stay that bit better. The food is also fabulous and good value for money, as are the mini bar prices. I don’t believe they are ripping you off, especially considering you’re in central Edinburgh. The history of the building is fascinating and the hotel itself is immaculate. I would absolutely recommend and hope to stay again!

    They have a gorgeous spa and gym area however the infra red light sauna is disappointing - it is tepid at best. Lockers in the gym also did not work. I was given the gym class timetable before arrival and also upon arrival - this was completely different to the schedule in practice which was frustrating as I couldn't plan.

    Exceptional breakfast and rooms are to die for. Staff went above and beyond!
