Beautiful hotel with great pool and sauna. Location is ideal for exploring Edinburgh, highly recommend a trip to Murrayfield if you are a rugby fan it's a 20 minute walk from the hotel through some beautiful parks.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
Great location and close to station. Staff were lovely and offered Prosecco on arrival. Breakfast plenty of choice just hate machines for drinks, prefer the personal touch being older! Only issue was the bed being too firm which caused backache but only stayed one night.
