The unit is spacious, although a bit smaller than the first one we had a few days ago, before we departed on our trip to the Scottish Highlands. The washroom is great, except there is no mat for the tub, But it does have a standalone shower outside the tub, too, for seniors who cannot get into the tub.

The breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. We did experience a couple of issues with our room not being serviced on two occasions, but once we notified the staff, they took care of it promptly. It may have been due to extending our stay on those days, which possibly caused some confusion about our checkout status.

Overall, we were very happy with our stay. The location was excellent—within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle, the market, and the Royal Mile shopping area. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Hotel Leonardo Edinburgh City 5-Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The entire staff was amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate us, and answer all questions. One desk agent gave us a 220v European adapter so we could use our 115v chargers. The manager gave us a history lesson about the hotel, Sir Sean Connery was born in this hotel back in the 1920’s when the building was an actual birthing hospital for women, which was so awesome! He also had me follow him all the way out to the street and he showed me exactly where to go park our car and walk back. The continental breakfast is the absolute best breakfast we have ever had, in all of our worldly travels. The layout for the oatmeal was unbelievable; all containers were full of FRESH condiments for the oatmeal; cranberries, oranges, coconut, almonds, raisins, brown sugar, walnuts, and more. Unbelievably good!!

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

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.

This boutique hotel is in a quiet street close to Grassmarket and the castle area. I enjoyed my three nights there however, it is an expensive hotel for one person only. If two people stay there in the high season then I’d recommend it, otherwise, I don’t think you get anything for what you pay. No fridge, no coffee maker, no free water bottles, generic tea and instant coffee, no cable t.v., toiletries were basically soap and body cream, etc…. I wouldn’t complain if it weren’t for the cost. Having said that, the staff were very nice and accommodating and friendly. I don’t know why they call it a boutique hotel, it’s basically a small hotel that used to be a hospital and it’s in a historic building.
