    Stayed 4 nights in November 2025

    “Lovely hotel overall”

    Stayed for 4 nights: 1) Very well-situated; mins walking distance from waverley train station and from most other places. It was a straight road down to Arthur’s Seat starting point too. 2) reception staff was great - very friendly and the lovely lady at the front desk on 27Nov was so sweet! However the cleaning lady yelled at us and scolded us for using the slope to push our luggage up even though that’s one reason the slope is for. If you don’t want people to use it, put up a sign saying so. 3) Gym was surprisingly well equipped! Pretty spacious and clean as well. 4) Rooms were comfortable, spacious enough to open 2 check-in size luggages. Smells a bit like chocolate too 😂 It was a bit dark at the TV and table end of the room though - didn’t see any lights above the area. Overall would recommend.

    “A Convenient Stay in the Heart of the City”

    For travelers arriving by train, Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh is an excellent choice, offering unmatched convenience just a 5-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley station. Its location is ideal for exploring the city's rich heritage, with the beautiful old town only a short stroll away. The surrounding historic sites, stunning architecture, vibrant shops, and diverse restaurants encapsulate everything we love about Edinburgh—a city that effortlessly blends history and charm. The room provided enough space for our needs, accommodating two large suitcases and a traveling golf bag without feeling cramped. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a restful stay, and the staff were welcoming and eager to assist, adding to the positive experience. We highly recommend Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh for train travelers looking to explore both the old and new town, right in the heart of the city centre. It offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and accessibility for a seamless Edinburgh experience.

    “Absolutely Lovely! ”

    We stayed 3 nights in this hotel and it was fantastic. Upon arrival, we were greeted and served by a friendly and helpful staff. It warmed our day especially when we were tired from travelling almost all day. The room was clean and tidy. When the shower head was a little faulty, the maintenance came and resolved it instantly. The location is superb. I highly recommend this hotel. This is truly royal!

    “Highly recommended for the location!”

    Best location near Waverly train station! Even though there is construction around, but they arranged for us to stay away from construction and on high floor. The room is cozy and looks newly renovated, the bed is big and comfortable. There is complimentary wine and chocolate as welcome gift. The daily housekeeping is up to standard, though some days they didn't clear the dirty towels/wash the cups. Thanks for the complimentary water given and accommodating our requests for more water! There is also small shortbread and complimentary coffee/tea available in room which helps to fill our tummy before starting the day. Overall, we love our 11 nights stay here, grateful to the staff and hotel!
