A clean room is the most important factor. However, staying in Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh was totally the opposite. I arrived late at night and when I entered the bathroom, there were some brown spots on the sink. I thought they were maybe a ceramic so I decided to wipe them to check and they were gone. In the shower box which I have not used it yet, there was a hair. I informed the room service in the morning about both, and she said she will manage this. I also informed the reception about it. Unfortunately, I came back later to take a shower and the hair was there. I informed the reception in the next morning that there is an issue with the cleanse and I want all the bed sheets to be changed as I could not feel clean. She said that she will process that. Again, nothing done. I called the reception to complain. Finally guys showed up and managed the room. I stayed in this hotel for 9 days and the sheets were never changed after this. The second incident was that a room service guy in the morning knocked the door to do the regular service and I asked him to clean the room after half an hour. When I came back to the hotel, I went first to the reception to ask for a parcel. When finally the parcel was found, the seal was broken. Someone attempted to open the parcel. I took it and went to room. Surprisingly, the room was not serviced. I called the reception to complain. The answer was that I requested to not clean the room even though I asked the guy to come in 30 mins.

Sooo disappointing

Started at check in, booked in with another couple. They had a large room with a view on the 6th floor, was given Prosecco on arrival. We were given a room for a disabled person, no offer of Prosecco. Asked reception to change from disabled room as it felt very uncomfortable. Told, the hotel was fully booked but after practically begging was given the smallest room ever on the first floor but felt underground and in the basement. The building work outside the room was so loud and there were men sat having a break. View was sooo bad. Only one towel so had to ask. Staff very unhelpful. Had a random member of staff just walk straight into our room when we were getting changed. When we said to the receptionist on check out that our stay was so disappointing compared to our friends she completely ignored us and said “thank you, have a nice day” we paid £767 for a 2 night stay that was not worth the money!

Great location, but expensive breakfast that wasn’t included in our booking. Comfortable room - happy to have washcloths and 4 pillows without having to ask. Excellent maid service and comfortable lobby.

Despite the price which, like that of all Edinburgh hotels in August, was much higher than usual, i actually thought that it was worth every penny thanks to the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff in the bar, the restaurant and at reception. One of my favourite hotels!
