The Armoury is like an entire apartment with everything one can wish for. There is a coffee machine and new bottles of water delivered every day. Breakfast is in the restaurant or can be delivered to the room. The bathroom has underfloor heating. The location is great right next to the Castle and the Royal Mile.

The accommodation at Prestonfield House and the quality of service is out of this world. From the rooms, decor, setting and grounds to the quality of the service, food and staff, I would say a rating of 10/10 is too low. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it will go down as a special moment in our memories. And we are definitely planning to return.

I loved how they made you feel welcomed and important the moment you walk through the doors for check-in. Loved the decor. it's very open and modern with a twist. The refreshment offer on arrival is lovely. The rooms are beautiful, exceptionally clean, and spacious. The bed is absolutely life. It's like a cloud. The complementary cocktails in our room and truffles were delightful. SAMBASUSHI is my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. The ambience, the food, and staff are top of their game. Cocktails were lovely. Everything was amazing. You can't fault the W. It's very hard to say bad things about The W. I love staying with them! I have already booked my next stay!

All five-star hotels in Edinburgh

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.
