Pros:

The hotel’s exterior and architecture have a wonderfully authentic character. The rooms are exceptionally spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. Our room was equipped with tea and coffee-making facilities, a hairdryer, and a television. I did not see any air conditioning, but given Edinburgh’s climate, I do not think you would often need it.

The reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is also excellent, within walking distance of almost everywhere you might want to visit.

Overall, this is an outstanding hotel for the price and offers incredible value for money.

Pros:

Location was good, but 15 min walk from the nearest tram station from the airport. Staff was very friendly.

Cons:

Smelled very strongly of cleaning chemicals, both in the room and on the hallways. Nice breakfast selection that was cooked to request, but was undercooked. One side of the bed had a dent which made it very uncomfortable. Lifts were out of way and we still needed to climb a few steps of stairs to get to the room.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt im Leonardo Hotel in Edinburgh. Die Lage ist ideal, um die Stadt zu Fuß zu erkunden – viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind schnell erreichbar. Das Zimmer war sauber, modern eingerichtet und sehr komfortabel. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal, das jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung stand. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und lecker, sodass der Tag perfekt starten konnte. Wir würden dieses Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen und können es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Ok place but room servicing not to hotel standard.
Pros:

Ok location. Friendly reception. Quiet, despite the room was on ground level and facing main entrance.

Cons:

Old and worn bathroom. No cleaning during stay or changing of towels. Used cups where put back in place unwashed. Had to ask for new towels each day. Using the hairdryer was impractical since it was not possible to connect it at the bathroom or in front of a mirror.

Pros:

Tágas, jól felszerelt szoba, kényelmes ágy. A reggeli választéka és minősége is jó volt. Viszonylag csendes környék, minden jól megközelíthető onnan. Buszmegállók, boltok, éttermek is vannak kb. 5 percnyire

Cons:

A szoba elhanyagolt volt, egy alapos nagytakaritásra és karbantartásra lenne szükség. Vastagon poros bútorok, több helyen foltos padlószőnyeg, foltos függöny, koszos ajtók és csempe a kádnál, mozgó burkolat a fürdőszobában.
