We had very good customer service and experience until the last hour of our visit. At checkout, called front desk for help with luggage, promised to send someone ‘right up’. 15 min later called again because they never came right up. Bell desk proceeded to tell us should have left our stuff in room and just come down. As if we would know that after speaking with front desk.
Finally bellhop brings our stuff down on the luggage cart, loses control, and dumped all our stuff on the wet filthy Edinburgh sidewalk. Brand new coats, my wife’s toiletries rolling across the street. Of course, No accountability, immediately blamed it on ‘colleagues’ for loading it ‘incorrectly’. picked everything up, got car loaded. I decided to tip him anyways because I worked service once upon a time and handed him a five. Instead of saying ‘thank you’, he said ‘yeah’. Needless to say, his attitude and ungratefulness was unexpected after dumping our possessions into the middle of the sidewalk.
My wife went back in to see if they could find a glove the same bell desk lost when they brought our items in for check-in. Same bellhop was completely flippant - “it’s Edinburgh, we don’t have your glove, anyone could have picked it up”.
very beautiful hotel, fitness / spa very nice, breakfast is excellent, customer service we received from everyone else was top notch.
Will give them benefit of doubt, & probably come again, but might not ask for any more ‘help’ from bell desk.
