I recently had the pleasure of spending two nights at this wonderful hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the friendly and welcoming staff who made me feel right at home. The hospitality was truly exceptional.I stayed in a room with my family and it was spacious and had a nice large bathroom.The food and drinks were another highlight of my stay. The hotel’s restaurant offered a variety of Nepali and Indian dishes all of which were delicious. It also had a bar for drinking.The hotel’s location is perfect for tourists. It’s close to some of Edinburgh’s most famous attractions, including the iconic Forth Bridge, The Kelpies and the historic Edinburgh Castle.Additionally, it’s conveniently located near a golf course, which is great for visit as it’s owned by the formed President of US.Overall, my stay was incredibly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Edinburgh. The combination of great food, friendly staff, and a prime location makes it an excellent choice for travelers.

Stayed for work. Great service from all the staff. Rooms basic, but clean and comfortable. Could do with a suitcase stand and a relaxing chair, but functional nonetheless.The food in the restaurant is beautiful. Great service and at a good price point. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

This is a must.Shimla is an exceptional restaurant. The food is divine, service is spot on and all at a reasonable price. We over ordered as usual but it's all packed up to come home.I love the hot lemon hand wipes at the end.Also it was my parents anniversary, and they brought them (us) delicious cake, and a gift voucher. Incredibly thoughtful.Do yourself a favour and try this either in the restaurant or as a take-away!!

We are new in near kirkcaldy have tried a few indian restaurants the taste was great but the service was unbelievable. They accidently gave me a different dish to what I had ordered. Not only did they deliver the correct food and gave me extra chicken pakoras and poppadum, you don't see this kind of service anymore. I was so thankful and was so surprised.
