Location was great for an early morning flight from Edinburgh. Bed was a bunk bed single but not advertised as such. Four steps up, four steps down. Had to make my own bed - why is that? Going to the bathroom at 2 AM was no fun. Travel companion in bed below was awakened. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The location was perfect - right by Edinburgh Waverly and 2 minutes from the Royal Mile. The facilities were perfect - classic hotel, comfortable beds, spacious rooms with high ceilings and elegantly decorated. Despite it's central location, there was no noise from the surrounding streets, making our stay very peaceful. The dinner we had in the Grand Cafe was great. We would definitely stay at the Scotsman on our next visit to Edinburgh and would recommend it to friends.

Edinburgh is a stunning city and one we found easy to navigate. It hold so much history and the preservation of its history is outstanding. Do book Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle tickets ahead to avoid queues. Hiking Arthur's Seat takes some time so plan for it. Spend some time up on Calton Hill ... views are magnificent and so much to see. Also there are wonderful eateries and restaurants everywhere ... do remember to book your table ahead as it is a busy city with many visitors. We enjoyed Howie's and LuckenBooths. Overall lots to see and do!!

I was here for a concert but enjoyed walking around the Old Town for the great atmosphere and discovering all the cute buildings, streets and alleys (Victoria Street and The Royal Mile are a must-see). Most historical buildings are within walking distance. The Edinburgh Castle is a must-visit. The public transportation is excellent and very easy to use.

Edinburgh is a beautiful city full of independent businesses and plenty to see and do. It’s perfect for any kind of hobby you have; shopping, walking, people watching or reading in cafes etc.
Walking around Edinburgh with the faint sound of bagpipes playing in the streets, artists drawing caricatures, a lovely man with an owl you can hold, there really are so many different ways to create memories there!
I highly recommend the Ghost Bus tour, visiting the castle and cathedral, and Frankenstein’s Bar!

The weather wasn't ideal - even though it was the end of May...
The weather wasn't ideal - even though it was the end of May we assumed we would have sun / cloudy weather. It rained, a lot. We managed to visit Arthur's Seat - this was incredible and one of my main reasons for visiting. We saw Edinburgh Castle, visited a few restaurants and shops as well.
You have to check in at the pub, which is only around the corner from the hotel. Absolutely loved the staff! They were ever so accommodating, especially with complimentary drinks at arrival. Loved the location with it being a good walk to Edinburgh City Centre - where there was a plethora of independent cafes and bakeries selling all sorts of goodies.
When you're done exploring Edinburgh, then the bed doesn't go amiss, along with the en suite facility.
To reiterate, a great family owned establishment at a great location.
Best location in Grassmarket area, close to old town, royal mile and new town. Modern lobby and rooms. Room very large with huge sofa seating area. Extra comfy chairs, large TV. Made for enjoyable down time. Very nice bed and bath. Staff very helpful entire visit. Did not eat at restaurant, as several small cafes and bakeries within steps. Perfect hotel for visiting the city and walking. No car needed. Certainly stay there again.
The staff was incredible! It's the best part of the Leonardo. They were friendly and helped us in many ways.
It's in a decent location - only about 20 minute walk to the Old Town Edinburgh. There are also bus stops very close.
We also frequented the bar in the evenings. It was great getting to know the people who worked at the hotel.
The breakfasts were also very good. It was a good value,
The hotel was very close to the city centre without being directly in the centre. Excellent transport links, right outside a bus stop and a 5 min walk from Haymarket Station.
The room was very big, lots of plug sockets, TV with lots of channels.
Cleaned daily.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Breakfast add on options
I would stay here again if I was to come back to Edinburgh.
Great little hotel in a superb location nice and close to Edinburgh city centre. Staff were friendly and extremely responsive and the breakfast option provided excellent value. The facilities have charm and character so if you're after something new and unused don't come here. But if you're ok with a nice setup and good value this is a great option. We've been several times now.
The location in New Town by St. Andrews Square was amazing!!! We were right by a bunch of great restaurants and a Sainaburys Local. All the hop -on -hop off buses start there so that was very convenient. It was also a fairly quick walk to old town / Edinburgh Castle. The vibe of the room and the windows were great! We pretty much had everything we needed.
The location was great. In the heart of New Town and just a few minutes walking from Old Town. The room was lovely, quite big, and very Scottish style. Staff was very kind and always looking for our comfort. The instructions for entering the room were very clear and easy to understand. I would definitely stay again if I came back to Edinburgh.
As I already said, it's kind of difficult to stay in Edinburgh while not spending your whole budget in hotels, so being kind of cheap (for Edinburgh) it's a plus. The staff was also really friendly and helpful, and they're 24/7 to help. The location was not bad for me (15 min walk to the city centre) since I enjoy those walks.
loved how central it is to Edinburgh city centre but hidden away enough that there’s not much noise around the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and the bar food and drinks were lovely. The TV in the hotel was good as you could cast streaming services to it from another device.
The hotel is near the city centre, it seems modern and the furniture is almost new. Personal is very nice and the process to check in and check out is easy to do. The look for our luggage while we do a 2-day trip near the city and we are very grateful for that.
Hotel was very clean and comfortable with great facilities, especially the pool, steam room and sauna. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Restaurant offered nice food at reasonable prices. In a quiet location only a bus ride to Edinburgh city centre.
Not to far from Edinburgh City centre
Free parking
Given full refund after poor night's stay due to prom party on until late beneath our room
Receptionists were polite and helpful
Hotel room was good
Comfy bed
Located close to Edinburgh city centre/Leith with a bus stop near enough outside the hotel (with plenty more bus/tram options on Leith Walk around 5 minutes walk away). Bed was comfy and the room was quiet.
very cosy hotel with everything what you need ! it is not in the city centre but we knew that when we booked our room.
we had beautiful room with the view on the street with old buildings which was lovely.
Great location for Edinburgh castle and Old Town. The hotel was nice, everything was clean, breakfast was really good as was the bar food and drinks! Absolutely enjoyed everything about our stay here!
The location. The hotel is just in the middle of Edinburgh's Old Town, so most of the historic and sightseeing places are very near. The breakfast was very good too.
