Reviews

Our stay at The Roseate in Edinburgh was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Elias, the bartender, was amazing and made our evenings at the bar a delight. The food was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

We stayed here with our close family over our wedding weekend. We were so well looked after, the staff were just lovely and went the extra mile for us. The decor is really quirky and stylish and rooms are very comfortable and clean. Lots of added wee thoughtful touches throughout.

A great hotel to stay in for its luxury. Highly recommend for the views from the rooms and bars which are incredible- some of the best views in London! Despite the good bars and attractive design the overall feel of the hotel and rooms is quite corporate, it feels like a business hotel.

I recently had the most incredible dining experience at Shangri-La The Shard, London, and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff, who ensured every detail of our evening was perfect.

Spent 2 nights here and everything was amazing. We had a slight issue (not hotel fault) but hotel managers dealt with it promptly and professionally. I keep recommending this hotel to all my friends and would not hesitate to come back. Highly recommended.
