   Wonderful hotel, good service, well located, clean, organized, delicious and very well-served breakfast. And an important point for us was having a good iron and ironing board in the room, as well as a hairdryer. We really enjoyed it, we recommend it and we will definitely return. Thank you :)

   Can store bags at the Royal. The Haymarket is lovely with pleasant staff and resteraunt reasonably priced. The added bonus is that our train wasn't due until 6pm. We could store our bags, but didnt want the 1 hour walk from train station and back to collect them. We asked and they have a policy that bags can be stored in other Leonardo hotels, so we dropped them off at the Royal next to the train station for free and enjoyed our day worry free.

   Wouldn't pay the over 300 pounds for the 2 night stay. Window in our room was broken and always slightly open, could then hear everything on the street which didn't give us a good night sleep. The hot water stopped working twice both times taking 2 hours to come back on so we couldn't shower. The espresso machine we used the first time had dirt come out of it. Positives the breakfast was really nice and so was the restaurant food. Staff are super lovely and was a decent walk to the castle and christmas market. Overall wouldn't stay again

   Stayed here for a week in October 2025. Loved the location as it was close and/or easy to get to main attractions without being in the busy touristy areas. ✅ Nice upscale modern hotel/Safe area ✅Spacious clean rooms/nicely decorated with mini refrigerator (no microwave) ✅ Great breakfast buffet with good variety of hot/cold options, fresh fruits & pastries ✅ Very friendly & helpful front desk staff ✅5 minute walk to Haymarket train station and other public transportation (bus/tram) ✅ Plenty of pubs, restaurants & coffee shops nearby ✅20 minute walk to Old Town Edinburgh and the castle ❌ Breakfast area can get crowded w limited seating ❌Breakfast buffet items not always replenished as it gets closer to closing

   Very good value. Clean pleasant room. Excellent breakfast and central location. The hotel experienced a power cut when we were there, but the staff were helpful and overall great. Its not without fault: a bit shabby here and there, but wouldn't hesitate to go there again or to recommend it.

   Hotel is fine but nothing to write home about. I've stayed here multiple times for work. Rooms are a good size. Reasonably clean but not spotless. Shower pressure was pretty low when I had a 4th floor room, better on lower floors. Lifts are cramped and slow but difficult to find stairs you can use so takes a while to get in/out of the hotel. Buffet breakfast is reasonable quality. Broad selection + decent coffee machine. Efficient service, professional and unobtrusive. Hotel lacks character but gets all the basics right so a good option if there for work

   A worse experience. I thought for the price we spent per night will find a fabulous clean space with clean rooms and excellent service! However, we checked in to a room with broken lamp! they sent us a technician to fix it while we are in the room with an infant, the technician entered with dirty shoes which means the hotel does not work on any cleanness standards that is to be followed by all staff. The electricity socket was removed by the technician yet we had to stay with 1 side lamp only which is a dropping point in the efficiency of room tools! we asked to change our room but they neglected our request and simply told us that no room available whilst there is on hotel booking sites. The walking corridors and door frames cleanness would give this hotel less than expected. A pleased guest is their last priority I think thats why they are rated as 3.9 on reviews.

   First comment - this hotel is not worth the price paid. I appreciate you pay a premium to be in the centre of Edinburgh but at the same time you expect a certain standard with that. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly chap who checked us in. Our room was sub standard. Small. Sofa bed for a child, which is just terrible. Why there are no proper family rooms set up, with proper beds for children is beyond me. Daughter found the bed terrible uncomfortable. There is a desk and chair in the room which you couldn't use because the small was so limited when the sofa bed is laid out. The on site restaurant is seriously overpriced rubbish. The food is poor quality and costs a fortune. None of the meals come with veg, so expect to pay another £5 to get that included. Over £50 for two mains, one side and a kids meal. There's so many nearby eateries, go there instead and get a better quality meal for less money. Breakfast was included in our price and was a decent selection. Made up for the terrible experience for the evening meal the night before. Parking onsite is £10 a night. We made use of this instead of trying to find places to park, and due to the location of the hotel, it was within walking distance of most of the attractions within central Edinburgh. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place.

   Excellent and friendly staff. Whatever I needed was accommodated for me. Rooms and bathroom were clean with an amazing shower-head faucet. Good air circulation with AC in the room. Great continental breakfast with many choices (£14/person). Hotel near many attractions and bars: We were able to walk the city. There is a 24-hr convenient store open nearby as well. We paid ~$140/night for 1 full bed (these are bigger than American standard full) and one additional cot. The only complaint I have would be the pillows were a bit hard for my liking on all the beds.
