Wonderful.
Pros:

Centrally located, easy walking access to Edinburgh castle, and the attractions of the Royal mile. Nice walk to Dean village as well. Self service of orange infused water at reception was a nice touch.

Cons:

Shower in the bath was a bit slippery.

A very nice hotel, centrally located, with the fantastic staff.
Pros:

Fantastic location, fantastic staff, very good breakfast. Leonardo hotel is close to the main points that people like to see in Edinburgh, at is also very close to the University of Edinburgh.

Cons:

The prices are a bit high. They have gone up several times in the last six years, and I doubt that the staff has seen any similar increase in their salaries.

Pros:

The rooms were clean, spacious and the shower worked great! There was a mix-up with the booking, I had made it for the wrong day. I thought all was lost, because our room size was not available for the night we needed and the Booking.com staff was NOT helpful at all. However, Chet at the property was so helpful - going above and beyond and figured out a way to move our reservation to the next night. She saved our trip, and our wallet. I will always choose a Leonardo hotel when available because of her.
