"H"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Overall, this was a great property to stay at if you are visiting Edinburgh for the first time. Located within walking distance of public transit and many of the popular sights, making it a convenient choice. Stay didn’t blow me away, but was good enough to meet our needs. Towels and sheets were changed daily, which was nice, but sometimes appears to be dirty (specks of black on towels and sheets). We requested a quieter room, which seemed to help reduce noise."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay and location."

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

"Room was clean and amenities good. However, no window made it claustrophobic, especially as it was called a premium room?! Luckily was only there for one night."
