We had a ground floor room and was a good size which allowed room for the double sofa bed for our son. The bathroom was kitted out for disabled but this made the bath and showers really narrow due to the safety handle on the wall. There were a few things in the bathroom that needed some old. Shelf for towels falling off. Edges of door and tiles a bit tired etc but overall a nice stay. We didn’t eat there as breakfast seemed expensive and we had already had to pay a lot extra for moving the stay due to my husband not being well so ate out for cheaper

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.
