Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Leonardo was perfect, the staff was so helpful, it's in a great location to get anywhere in the city, and the place felt quite quiet for being so centrally located. So glad we added the breakfast every day, the selection was great and it saved us having to find new places to eat every morning during our week long stay."

Best Western Kings Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"I like the fact that the clerk advised us to purchase the breakfast a day ahead of time because that gave us a better price."

voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG

8/10 Good

"This is an old property that has lots of charm that I enjoyed. If you want modern looking, you may not like it. The staff did a great job to take care of any needs. They offer a really good buffet breakfast and dinner each day. You may find a local restaurant or diner at a cheaper price for each meal if you need to watch your costs. It is within 15-30 minutes walk from a ton of places. We never never took a cab the week we visited. The hotel is clean, the staff was great, and it was convenient to many places. I would stay there again."

The Scholar

8/10 Good

"\the staff were universally helpful, especially at breakfast. the cleanliness was excellent. Breakfast was good. I did not find the restaurant for other meals suited my taste but that is an individual matter. There were not enough vegetables for my liking. My first room was hard for me to navigate but I was moved to a very satisfactory one. The car park and the lift were selling points for me initially but I have become comfortable there, so will be back, barring accidents."

Holyrood Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"It was nice to have laundry inside the unit"
