“Gleneagles Townhouse's curated stay, bill shock”
Gleneagles Townhouse is an elegant, perfectly-curated Edinburgh hotel — a welcoming members-club atmosphere, kind attentive customer-focused staff (John praised), a stunning relaxed Spence bar and restaurant, a peaceful House Room with an open-window sleep, a great breakfast, and a central St Andrew's Square spot. The complaints: a forty-pound nightly tip auto-added to the bill completely undermines hospitality; and a severe pan — at fifteen-hundred a night after extras, a noisy room with blown fuses, dead lights, smelly hallways, mediocre food, and bag help offered only after guests had carried them down — not worth it, try elsewhere.
