Tutto okay
Pros:

Posizione buona, se piace passeggiare si possono raggiungere agilmente tutti i punti d'interesse principali della città. Un normale hotel della catena Leonardo, tenuto bene. Camera e bagno puliti. Nonostante la nostra finestra desse su una strada, la camera è ben insonorizzata. Staff cordiale. Tengono le valigie anche dopo il check-out. Non abbiamo fatto colazione in hotel. Giusto per starci qualche giorno se si passa poco tempo in camera e molto tempo fuori.

Nothing i like it , just appearance from outside

It is a very old hotel; the interior is in poor condition and unclean. Housekeeping does not do a good job with cleaning or replenishing supplies.

Ubytování v dobré lokalitě pro nenáročného klienta.
Pros:

Lokalita byla dobrá, v okolí spoustu možností na snídani nebo večerní rychlé jídlo. Do centra hezkou procházkou 10 - 15 minut. Personál milý, všichni ochotní. Postele velmi pohodlné. Dalo se zapnout už topení, což bylo velmi příjemné a hned jsme využili. Chodby vypadaly po rekonstrukci, moc pěkné.

Cons:

U umyvadla nebyl vůbec žádný prostor, chybělo něco na pověšení ručníku. Zkosená střecha byla hodně limitující, pro vysokého chlapa by to nebylo. Díky tomu pokoj působil ještě menším dojmem, než byl. Koberec na pokoji celkem špinavý.

Edinburgo é uma cidade linda e merece sua visita, sendo este hotel um ponto ótimo para estar.
Pros:

O hotel é muito bonito e os atendentes sempre simpáticos. Apesar de ser um edifício antigo, o quarto é bom e tranquilo, com um bom banheiro. Fiquei feliz com a chaleira para fazer café solúvel no quarto, facilitou a vida. A localização, a 10 minutos do centro, é excepcional. Tudo sempre muito limpo.

Cons:

Localização excelente o que permitiu visitar facilmente o centro e também o centro de convenções onde participei de um congresso. Também ficava perto do TRAM, 15 minutos a pé, o que permitiu a chegada e saída ao aeroporto. Aliás a cidade é muito bonita e agradável.

In love with Edinburgh
Pros:

Historic building previously the James Simpson Maternity Hospital, for those who like to know these things.
Good location, it's a short walk from Edinburgh University and George Heriot School, grassmarket, greyfriars and the Royal Mile are an easy walk further on.
In the other direction, the area is less overtly "touristy", so has a good range of bars, cafés and shops directed at the lively student population.
Leonardo have a very good breakfast but for variety we ate at an excellent cafe nearby.

Cons:

The Hotel is planned for refurbishment soon, which is likely to sort problems with the water pressure.
For good practical reasons the main entrance is a level below off the car park. It would be nice if the refurb could make more use of the magnificent front door;
