The only negative thing I can say is that the breakfast was affected by the worst coffee I have had in a hotel in ages. It was watery and weak and just lukewarm. Both coffee machines were the same poor quality and delivered the same crummy coffee every morning for the four breakfasts we were there. Otherwise, everything else was excellent with this property.

Very conveniently located for everything you would want to see and do in Edinburgh. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They made a couple of recommendations and arranged for our cab to the airport. Also we arrived early in the morning and weren't able to check in, so they held our bags for us and did their best to have our room ready as early as possible.

Spent 3 nights there and not once did we have a working shower. We kept bringing the issue to the attention of the front desk and the on-site manager, and the issue was never fixed for the entirety of our stay. Until the morning of check-out we were never offered an alternate room, and even obtaining a courtesy room to shower in - of which we ended up needing 3 - always felt like a struggle. The only compensation we received for our inconvenience and stress was a 15% discount on our fee. I emailed a complaint to the operations manager of the hotel and haven’t received a response. Completely unacceptable and I would never recommend staying at the Leonardo Royal to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

A clean room is the most important factor. However, staying in Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh was totally the opposite. I arrived late at night and when I entered the bathroom, there were some brown spots on the sink. I thought they were maybe a ceramic so I decided to wipe them to check and they were gone. In the shower box which I have not used it yet, there was a hair. I informed the room service in the morning about both, and she said she will manage this. I also informed the reception about it. Unfortunately, I came back later to take a shower and the hair was there. I informed the reception in the next morning that there is an issue with the cleanse and I want all the bed sheets to be changed as I could not feel clean. She said that she will process that. Again, nothing done. I called the reception to complain. Finally guys showed up and managed the room. I stayed in this hotel for 9 days and the sheets were never changed after this. The second incident was that a room service guy in the morning knocked the door to do the regular service and I asked him to clean the room after half an hour. When I came back to the hotel, I went first to the reception to ask for a parcel. When finally the parcel was found, the seal was broken. Someone attempted to open the parcel. I took it and went to room. Surprisingly, the room was not serviced. I called the reception to complain. The answer was that I requested to not clean the room even though I asked the guy to come in 30 mins.
