ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

2/10 Terrible

"Hi! I came too early for check inreturned after sightseeing and was sent to a room twist and turns which took a long time to go on the 7 th floor ! I had to take like 10 minutes just to wait for elevator and go to the room The bathroom was like it was ready to crumble flimsy attachment very noisy and unstable walk! The shower hose fell many times loudly as I slept ! The bed had a piece under sheet ridiculous mattress protector which felt like anincontinent pad for the handicapped or a nursing home patient! The toilet makes a lot of noise and air conditioning too! Very uncomfortable ! As I return at night the male staff look like I am trespassing! I got to show the key! They did not greet me cheerily and say how can I help you? The food in the breakfast I was not keen on ! I barely filled my stomach! I had to go out searching to get a better breakfast after I paid for the hotel breakfastI will not stay with this company hotel again and pictures was misleading on the website! "

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"We got an early check in which was fantastic for us. Check in staff very friendly and also the egg station chef was friendly. The room was clean and adequate. The Hotel itself was also clean and in a great location for visiting the new town and old town. Only 1 thing Negative to mention that didn't personally effect us as we were up early and ready to go for Breakfast. Currently there is some kind of building work or maintenance going on. They started what sounded like a pavement cutter at around 6:30AM. I'm sure they just did it for a laugh between themselves. Anyhow like I say it didn't effect us as we were ready and getting dressed and packing. Just be aware of this if your booking"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Carlops?

The best time to go to Carlops is typically during the late spring, summer, and early autumn months, from May to September, when the weather is generally mildest and the days are longest.

During these months, you'll find the most pleasant conditions for exploring the Pentland Hills Regional Park, which surrounds Carlops. The walking trails will be more accessible, and the chances of clear skies for enjoying the scenic views are higher. This period is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and cycling, as well as for couples looking for a picturesque retreat with opportunities for leisurely walks.

If you're particularly interested in the blooming heather that covers the hillsides, late July and August are exceptional. The landscape transforms into a stunning purple, offering fantastic photographic opportunities and a truly memorable experience for nature lovers. For families, these months also present the best opportunity to enjoy outdoor family-friendly activities without the chillier temperatures.
