Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh - Formerly Jurys Inn
5/5 Excellent
"Nice hotel. Great location (across from the train station), and breakfast was tasty. Our room was comfortable with an amazing view of Calton Hill. The pillows were a little thin. The room was well appointed though. The staff were all professional and courteous. We enjoyed our stay!"

5/5 Excellent
"I can’t rave enough about this property. All the staff were so professional, helpful and gave great recommendations for the surrounding area. The restaurant that shares the building (Luckenbooth’s) was my favorite breakfast spot. The location for the hotel is fantastic—walkable distance to all major attractions. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat! Washer/dryer were a perk for my family. Rooms near the alley/close will hear the occasional foot traffic from people. Overall, great property. "

Leonardo Edinburgh City
5/5 Excellent
"Great location close enough to Grassmarket, Victoria St and the castle. Also close to where most tours depart. I chose the full breakfast option in the room rate and it was very good and worth it. Staff was courteous and helpful. Twin beds room was basic but clean and quiet. Stayed in the 4th floor but hotel does have an elevator. Would stay here again if we ever go back to Edinburgh. 30 min walking from bus station. Very good option for the price. "
