One of the best hotel breakfasts I've had. Complimentary glass of champagne is a nice touch. Perfect size servings, good selection, great juices etc. Room had everything you need, well laid out. Not huge, but comfortable. Staff were all friendly and efficient.

The Tattoo was great, please remember to wear warm clothing, we did but we saw a few folks that came dressed for a summer day. It was Cold… The pipes were fantastic, it’s a bucket list item for sure. Very happy we attended the Tattoo all the way from Florida.

Don't bother going.

Don't bother going. It used to be very good with lots of various military groups showing their expertise. Lately it has become a bit 'woke', they even had a rave WTF! during one of the parades. I find better entertainment and value at the Birmingham International tattoo in February

It was all I could have wished for.

It was all I could have wished for. Had a hospitality pavkage that was worth every cent. Just wished I'd gone a second night to see it all again, my cousins really enjoyed their night at the Tattoo from the less expensive seats. We all enjoyed our evening.

excellent performance with good music, marching and lighting...

excellent performance with good music, marching and lighting, also the fireworks with the castle as a historical background. marching bands are well trained with sharp uniform n gear. Marching skills and formation literacy are stunning when you looking with a bit knowledge of foot March, marching band. not only the amazing Scottish blow pipes but also Swiss and Latino style marching bands, perfect arm drill, Scottish dance n songs. one and half hour around with hundreds of performers, and back stage first aid supportive staff... the ticket price worth every penny although it's not a low price to me. I don't have a second of regret but wanna to watch again next time. I truly believe it show the military culture as well as the good organization within n neglected. without a doubt that tell the world the Scottish n UK culture at the lovely Edinburgh. 2 reminders, temperature is cold even at a good day of summer. I do wear thick cloth n beanie for this open area show without strong wind. and still feel a bit cold after the show. also you have to walk back to you hotel or what under such temperature. please have a good preparation with water proof clothing. 2ndly, I prefer drink less before such a good show. full of audience and good performance u never want to miss a second.

Loved it. Bucket list event. Didn’t disappoint. We booked early online from Australia. The process is easy. Communication is good. The app works well. There were lots of people but the crowds are well handled. The show was sharp and kept moving along.

Expect to be in a long queue before the start of the show, It is amazing to watch and hear we were in section 13 I think it was at the right place definitely take a poncho in case it rains,( crap British summer of 2023) drinks are expensive and you can't take your own they have bag searches, the show is just about long enough I could've sat through another hour of it.

I highly recommend the Virgin Hotels Edinburgh for a stay in August, when the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo are in full swing. The hotel is exceptionally great: The food in the restaurants was incredibly good and delicious, the staff first-class and attentive, and everything was impeccably clean and beautifully designed. Particularly impressive was how the team went to extra lengths for our Honeymoon package – a perfect choice for an unforgettable time in the vibrant festival city!
