Lovely friendly Hotel.

A Perfect Stay – Exceeded All Expectations! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Leonardo hotel Edinburgh, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hotel experiences I've had. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, Every detail, from the high-quality linens to the thoughtful amenities, was carefully considered. Breakfast was excellent. What truly set this hotel apart was the staff. The receptionist I encountered was friendly, attentive, and eager to make my stay special. They went above and beyond to accommodate requests. Overall, Leonardo hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. this hotel is a fantastic choice. I can’t wait to return. ⭐

Classy hotel / beautiful internet and stately exterior. It was somewhat walkable to Old Town - but a little more of a hike than some other options. There’s no parking, so if you have a car, you’ll have to find a place to park overnight. We enjoyed two nights here and aside from the longer walk from attractions, we’d stay again.

We were with a tour group so we did not choose this hotel but we were very impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. We had a room that looked out on a wall; very dismal. But the hotel lobby is airy and pleasant.

Property was great. Didn’t give 5 stars as they didn’t have wash/face cloths. That was the only complaint but it kinda is a big thing if you want to stay clean.
