Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

"About a 20 minute walk to the royal mile/castle. We enjoyed our walks to and from the hotel. Hotel very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly , polite and knowledgeable. No noise issues in our room. Very quiet in our room. We didn’t eat in the hotel so can’t comment on restaurant. Overall a very pleasant stay. We would definitely stay here again."

"Sadly, this is not an hotel which belongs to the new, well-styled type of hotels that are starting to be more and more prevalent - where the pared-back rooms still manage to contain everything you need; where there are welcoming shared spaces which contain quirky detailing; and where the fresh decor and pristine cleanliness makes you relax straight away. Instead, the foyer is permanently cluttered with guests, baggage, inexplicable boxes dumped where they can be seen, and someone vainly attempting to clean. The traditionally-placed check-in desk is manned by at least one member staff who just doesn't have the knowledge to be helpful to tourists like ourselves. Our deluxe room was faintly depressing, with the old-fashioned beige look and a vaguely cluttered attempt at comfort - which included a tea-point where avoiding banging one's head was an art. Paint was worn away on the bathroom door, we had a direct view onto the hotel dustbins, and the saving grace was the photos of Scotland and the size of the bed, with its clean linen. Don't get me wrong - we were comfortable and able to do what we needed to - it was just disappointing to spend so very much per night for something that we had expected to be better. From the website, we had thought we had booked a bit more of an experience than Premier Inn. But Premier Inn wins, hands down, every time!"

"Great location next to Haymarket station and 20min walk to princess street. Rooms very spacious with large comfortable beds"
