TO start the staff was ALL amazing! They were so kind and helpful, it was incredible. One of the best experiences I have had at a hotel. The room was beautiful with the most incredible mini bar I have ever seen. We partook in quite a bit of that. The bed was super comfortable. The toiletries were top notch and they even had a robe, slippers, hair dryer & straightener!! I was in heaven. The design is stunning with a ton of beautiful and cool funky art. The breakfast was mouth watering. Even if not staying there you should totally eat there. My husband said it was the best chicken and waffles he has ever had. It was the perfect stay I wish we had planned a longer stay here. Next time we are back in Edinburgh we will 100% stay here!

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!!
