Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Across street from train station which was excellent"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Room clean I got the sense staff whilst helpful were reactive rather than pro. The pillows were possibly the worse I’ve ever slept on cheap and well used, I did ask for mattress toppers. None here so asked for extra duvet for my friend. I asked for more pillows.. hairdryer broken towel rail burning window latch dodgy and corridor switch falling apart. Breakfast like restaurant and bar were good For £800 for 3 nights I think a little more pro activity is needed. This may be cheap for Edinburgh but I expected better room.. view was a crane ! ( felt room was for us cheaper folk)!"
