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.

Superhotel met mega vriendelijk personeel op een toplocatie
Pros:

Het is een prachtig hotel van buiten, maar zeker ook van binnen. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en je voelt je er echt welkom. De kamer was erg groot en het bed lag heerlijk. Ook fijn dat er meerdere ramen open konden en dat er een ventilator was voor de wat warmere dagen. Het ligt op loopafstand van de old town en ook andere plekken zijn prima te voet bereikbaar. Fijn dat je zelf kan bepalen of er schoongemaakt moet worden of niet. Al met al, een superhotel!

Cons:

Het enige minpuntje vind ik de vloerbedekking. Op onze kamer zat er een erg grote vlek in waardoor het niet heel hygiënisch oogt.

En de douche is wat klein voor lange Nederlanders zoals wij. Ik ben 1.75m en mijn vriend is 1.90m en we moesten allebei naar achter leunen of door de knieën om ons haar te wassen 🤣

Loved the location, I just wished this place was more clean and sanitary.
Pros:

I liked the location and how easy the walk was to Grassmarket.

Cons:

I didn’t like the state of the rooms. It was clear that that when our room was “cleaned” it wasn’t vacuumed. It also seems like the room was not vacuumed when we first entered. There was dirt on the walls and black spots in the grout of the shower I could only assume was mold.

Gostei muito da minha experiência no Leonardo Edinburgh City. A localização, mesmo não sendo na Old Town, era muito boa e pude fazer tudo apenas caminhando. Sem falar na tranquilidade da região.

Cons:

Não houve nada que eu não tenha gostado.

Breakfast disappointment
Pros:

Rooms were large and comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast was disappointing and poorly staffed. Sausages were burnt, poached eggs overcooked, scrambled eggs running with water. Cheese in the buffet was obviously there day upon day and not well stored overnight... dried up at the edges. Pastries were stale and bread not fresh. Only yoghurt available was toffee flavour...!!!
