Convenient and historic
Quaint old hospital building converted to a hotel. The main entrance isn’t on the front of the building which disorienting but easily overcome. My room was great, but my brother’s had a giant (no really, it was huge, and actually jumped at him when he opened the closet door!) spider, which the front desk was less than apologetic for, which surprised us. The breakfast was very good and the service was prompt and attentive. Can service was very good and the front desk was quite helpful arranging it. The elevator was laughably slow but got the job done.

Great Staff
The best part about this stay was the staff. They were more than happy to help and to provide quick, friendly service upon request. They were phenomenal. One issue I had was a personal one. The beds were by far too firm for my taste. I probably should have asked if they could do anything about it but didn't think about it at the time. The only other con was that there were two strip clubs within a very close distance to the hotel and it was a small walk to the main area in Edinburgh that tourists want to go. The walk was not a huge issue at all and there are grocery stores nearby which was a plus. But the strip club thing was not great. A cab driver told us not to go too many blocks further than where we were but the area where this hotel was seemed really safe. I never felt uneasy at all. Overall was a good place to stay if you are on a budget and want friendly, helpful staff.

The Leonardo Edinburgh is a wonderful boutique hotel. It was clean and quiet. The courtyard was elegant. Our bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. The room was small-ish but big enough for the two of us. The staff was responsive and pleasant. The location was great to get coffee and walk in the park or catch the Hop-On-Hop-Off buses. It is an easy walk to the Royal Mile or the castle but far enough away to be quiet at night. The front door is quirky. We found the main entrance around the back.

The room was very comfortable and quiet. The evening reception staff (I’m so bummed I didn’t get his name!) was exceptional!

Nice room but some facilities lacking
Enjoyed our brief stay, but disappointed the only food was breakfast and the bar wasn't open either. There was an in-room advert saying scan for hotel directory...did this and got a menu for bar and food..even though it wasn't available! We were allocated an accessible room but that meant there was a dip in the bathroom floor for drainage which was disconcerting. No non slip mat for the shower over the bath... apparently you have to ask for one, which we only found out after my husband had slipped.
