My stay at the hotel was marked by both commendable service and some pitfalls. While the location is fantastic, right near major attractions, the room I was assigned felt outdated and cramped.

The Waldorf-Astoria offers a charming atmosphere, with rooms featuring lovely furnishings and views of Edinburgh Castle. While the staff is friendly and service during breakfast is commendable, there are significant issues with room maintenance and amenities that need to be addressed. The location is ideal for exploring the city. Overall, it's a mixed experience, and for a hotel of this caliber, I expected more attention to detail.

Our recent stay at the Waldorf Astoria was a delightful experience. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the views of the castle from our room were simply breathtaking. However, the shower controls were a bit tricky to handle, and I did wish the water pressure was stronger. Overall, the hotel truly feels luxurious, but some aspects could use a bit of attention.
